Styer..
OK...Question for you guys..
I have no experience with Styer rifles...But I saw one this weekend that I really like.
Its a Styer Mountian Rifle in 308 with a Leopold VariXII 3-9x40 and a Harris bi-pod.
The price was around $900.00 used...I really liked it, it fit well and felt good..
But I know nothing about them..!...Can some of you guys shed some light..Good, Bad or Ugly
Thanks
Brett

RE: Styer..
I had the Steyr Forester in 7mm-08 with the 23.5 inch barrel. Beautiful workmanship(It is Austrian)and a very nice gun. Guys at my gun club tell me they are drills. Top drawer and I paid 599 for it NIB from CDNN investmentshttp://www.cdnninvestments.com/just download their catalog..they still have a little of each rifle in all price ranges.

"Steyr". not Styer.
They make top quality rifles. I have owned a couple of 202's. The 200 is a great mid range priced rifle. Tom.

You may can spell Steyr, but the 200 and 202 are SAUERS.

You are absolutely right. My mistake. I had the Sauer's, not the Steyr's.
I had a friend who had a left handed Mannlicher-Steyr in a 308 Winchester. I owned the Sauer's around 1985. My memory is getting bad. I had the one's that had the switch barrel's. Sorry for my mistake. Tom.

You have excellent taste in firearms. I have a Sauer 202 Outback in 270 wcf and am in the process of trading for another Outback in 22-250. The Sauer is a bit pricey, but it is the best feeling, handling, and shooting gun that I own.

RE: Styer..
Yea OldElkHunter...I to was thinking that but when I start thining about the math...I wonder..
CDNN says $699...And if I remember right I think they are in Texas...So I have to pay tax plus shipping plus FFL fee to local dealer...That puts the gun alone at 850 to 900 to my dealer then say 75 or so for base and rings, whats the Harris bipod...75..?.and the Leopold scope..good deal 300...so we are at 1300 to 1400 pretty quick..The Steyr website says msrp on this gun is around 1500...GunsAmerica had some I thought for 725 and up...So thats pretty much a wash.......See you guys are great..I am talking myself into the money..!!........I would just like to hear more on the gun itself..!
Thanks

RE: Styer..
If your in texas you'll pay tax on that or the other gun your looking at right? CDNN charges 12 dollars shipping I believe and your ffl should do it for about 25 bucks. The model they have is the stainless steel model and depending on your caliber it runs from 649 up. The only thing you have to be concerned about is service...they have a place in Mississipi that has a very competent gunsmith and they don't go wrong usually. It uses ABolt bases so they aren't that expensive
