Steyr Mannlicher Model L info

[Alleycat]

Anyone know much about the Steyr Mannlicher Model L? I have a chance at getting one but really don't know much about them.
This one is in .308 and looks to be in excellent condition by the pics I've been sent. Wondering about accuracy, value etc...

Cheers

I have an "L" in 308. Accuracy is outstanding. They are worth what you are willing to pay.
What price is the person asking?

I had an M and I needed a smoke after closing the bolt. Smooth and very accurate. One niggle, though - and I've seen it happen on more than one Steyr: if the bolt handle is not absolutely "home", you will get a light primer strike (click, no bang). Make it a habbit to palm the bolt down before every shot.

That's good to hear... Were working on a trade so hard to say exact asking price.

Now that's funny!

Haha, that's how I felt the first time I cycled the action on my Voere.

The plastic bottom "metal" has a tendency to crack through the front screw hole. Look for damage there.
