I have been hunting with a Steyr Mannlicher Luxus in 7mm RM for 30 years - absolutely love the rifle. Unbelievably accurate and sweet handling, even though it is a bit heavy by today's standard. The rifle is all metal and fit/finish is excellent. I really like the single set trigger as it makes off-hand shooting a bit easier. My father shot deer with it, I have and my son has too. I suspect his child will do they same in the future.
I purchased a second one from a fellow CGNer the other week so now I have a pair. The new one is in .300 Win Mag and it has the Bavarian style cheekpiece and schanble for end. Some of the differences: the fore end is a bit narrower, the swivel mount is a bit closer to the fore end, the safety is on the tang, the triangle on the rear sight is more ivory vs bronze and the length of pool seems a bit shorter.
Hoping to go to Africa with my wife in 2027 - we will take this pair with us. Maybe my son will want to come too....that means I should be on the lookout for one more, right?!
Post up with yours if you have one. The 7mm is the bottom, darker stocked rifle.
