Info wanted on Steyr hunting scout 5a

[nuggs]

I bought a second hand hunting 5 a few months ago. It is absolutely awesome and I love it. It is the manual version and even that gets through ammo like you cant believe - the biatlon lever is a joy to operate and the mag indexing system is like a swiss watch in operation. Superbly accurate rifle - I shoot at my dueling tree at 62 yards (the full length of the garden) and it is brilliant. Get one - you wont regret it!

Thanks ,I think I am going for it .Mike

On a downer now as just been told 3-5 week wait as they’ve run out of barrels for the scout 🤬

That's a bummer, only to be told you now have to wait a few more weeks. where are you getting yours from.
Am so tempted buying a scout too. Not too sure of manual or SA yet.

Next rifle I’ll buy will be the scout SA in .22.
I remember wanting one years back score they were released and posting a link on here, only to watch the thread descend into handbag waving argument about how they were a danger to the sport etc etc.
Sometimes I’m glad to be ignorant

Yes even if laws change in the future I at least want to have the opportunity to have had and used one for hunting ,which I believe will make my other guns redundant .Mike

Handy to know that, thought you had to buy directly from Steyr uk or a few selected RFD's.. Will ask next when I pop in my localish RFD.

I ordered from krale-schietsport before they were being imported. Shipped right to my door in under 7 days.
