I'm seriously considering buying one since they are currently on sale for $489 at gunprime.com which seems like a good deal. I was hoping to hear from anyone who owns one or who has handled one. I haven't been able to find much in the way of real hands feedback or reviews on the gun.
For those who haven't seen one, the Steyr Scout RFR comes with a threaded 20" heavy barrel, 10 round metal clip, and has a biathlon-inspired straight pull action which seems to be similar to the Match 54 Fortner action found on the $3000+ Anschutz 1727F. The Scout RFR is offered in .17 HMR, .22 LR, and .22 WMR. I would opt for the .17 HMR if I end up buying one.
What do you guys think?
