You're very lucky. The only black rifle i have is a synthetic marlin 980.

 

[Kind of Blued]

You need some sort of 90 degree scope adapter so you can shoot them from the hip... right?

 

[HM2PAC]

Buzzboxx,

Very, very nice.

Naw, shootin' from the hip is easy, you just reach out and touch them.

What's your take on that Steyr?

 

[Monkeybear]

Tell me about the one in the middle. What kinda gun is that and what kinda stock?

That's a Steyr Tactical Scout in .308 with the Jeff Cooper Package. Arrived as you see it from the factory. Drills a hole at 200yds. It's awesome, frankly.

Everyone who shoots it smiles, and smiles again when we check targets. If you see a Steyr Scout for sale, buy it. That whole package weighs about 7lbs including 10rnds.

It's adorable.

I would if the bolt handle was not on the wrong side

Nice rack of guns you have there

 

[Monkeybear]

Freakin awesome. Steyr Scout just added to my list of have to haves.

 

[Buzzbox]

You probably won't see a Tactical Scout for sale, I never have. But the regular ones come up now and again.

Here's my official "EBR":

Is the bottom one an actual AI AE or is it just an M700 with the AICS?


Either way, its a nice rifle.

Lucky punk. If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for it?


I had the chance to get one for an even $3000 but I didnt have three grand at the time.

 

[Buzzbox]

I bought it years ago. And I worked for a gunshop at the time. I have the fitted Starlight Case as well. If I actually told you how much I paid, you would be sad.

The shop had sold a number of AW-50s, and a friend and myself ordered AEs. He broke down and sold his whole package, scoped, mags, all the fixins, for about $6k.

I'm keeping mine. <Golem> My PreCiouussss..</Golem>

There is a tactical at Collectors Firearms for 2,400. This place is maybe 3 miles from my apartment. Who knows, maybe I will put it on layaway. Actually I want this one.

 

[Buzzbox]

Hell, those are the first I've seen for sale in a looong time, and I'm not surprised Collectors has them. The one you want is just a plain Scout in black furniture. The Tactical has a few lil upgrades.

My only real complaint with the Steyr Scout is the lil leaf bolt handle. The Tactical has a nice meaty knob.

 

[Monkeybear]

I see what you mean about the bolt handles. I just want one in .223. Man you got some cool rifles.

College for me is the road to a better life. A better life defined as living in my current apartment but with guns like yours.

 

[Buzzbox]

I certainly didn't buy the 4 rifles pictured all at once, and while I bought them a while back, it was still expensive. I make a decent blue color living, if I can own sweet sticks, anyone can. I just saved, and lept at opportunities.

You and me both...you and me both. I asked Steyr at SHOT about hope for a left-handed Scout, and the guy just gave me one of those sortof-sad-and-pitying looks, and said that they had no plans for it.
