Does anyone own or know about Steyr rifles? My brother has a sniper rifle that he loves made by Steyr but was unfamilair with them for hunting purposes. Any thoughts?, and, if so, are they any better than, say a Sako or a Browning?

I did not want to confuse anyone, I am not talking about using a sniper rifle for hunting. I was asking about a Steyr hunting rifle.

A good friend of mine has one, and while the synthetic stocks are ugly as sin, the gun is very solid and a real shooter, their SBS (safe bolt system) is slightly complicated but nothing that can't be adjusted too, overall I like them a lot, they are kinda slim on caliber selection though. I think they are a very solid gun, better than Sako probably not, but I think they are on par with browning, they just don't look as good.
