That rifle is a beauty! Makes me wish I'd never sold mine. I always thought that the Steyr Elite was the best designed factory built .308 available. Being able to carry a spare magazine in the butt stock was always a great selling point to me. Good Shooting!

Waiting on the range report!

What ring mount are you using for the Red Dot?
 
Re: my New precision rifle- Steyr Elite .308W (PICS)

It's attached directly to the scope mount, which is a Spuhr. Pretty cool setup, I've always liked Steyrs.

Tiny red dot on a bolt action scope?! AWESOME! Great looking rifle

I picked up Ranger's Scout. Have been to the range with it twice since getting home from Afghan and its SCARY accurate with loads worked up for one of my old 308's. Sighting in and RTZ Verification at the end of each session yielded 1/2" groups beginning and ending the range trips.

McMillan makes a nice stock for the SBS that I am trying to figure out if it will fit these. Its an $800 gamble that might not be worth taking cause it shoots so well in the factory stock.
 
Re: my New precision rifle- Steyr Elite .308W (PICS)

i dont reckon the SBS stock would be quite right, that said you could always contact Dick Davis from MCM on the hide ... he's always good for info

i wouldnt change the stock anyway.
 
Re: my New precision rifle- Steyr Elite .308W (PICS)

very clean looking gun.
 
Re: my New precision rifle- Steyr Elite .308W (PICS)

That Rifle is SWEEEEET!!! Very Nice Photos too! But I thought these comes with a intigrated Bipot built into the actual Stock Fore end didn't it? Anyways, Great Setup! Love the Red Dot!
