Steyr

[mackillan]

Is a steyr an elite out of the box hunting rifle. Would this package with the swar scope be a decent deal? What caliber would have a flat trajectory yet take out moose bear etc?

The Steyr rifles are excellent for fit, finish and accuracy. Asking about flat trajectory is a loaded question (no pun intended). What distance do you realistically intend to or are comfortable shooting at?

flat trajectory and take out moose & bear? 6.5x55!!!

If one is paying 4K for a rig he wants performance. I obviously already have guns that will do a deer at 200. I already have a sendero with a nightforce but do not want to spend big bucks for 30-30 performance. It may be overkill but some people have too much money.

Thanks I will check it out. A 300 wsm has been recommended by my dealer.

Personally, I would go with the 300 Win Mag. Ammo is easy to get in almost every area, although the 300 Short is catching up.
