Call the Canadain Tire on McLeod Trail in Calgary. They are a Steyr distributor. They sold me mine.
The Shooting Edge also had one hanging on the wall a few weeks back. Not sure if it still there.
Excellent choice BTW. Optics?
Thanks for the beta.
As to optics...you tell me? What have you got on yours and how do you like it?
I have no aversion to turning this thread into a "Show and Tell" about Steyr Scouts!Indulge me gentleman...

It used to wear the 2.5X Leupold IER Scout Scope. I used this at the Gunsite course. It's a great scope for anything from 5-200m. But not exceptional for more precise shots or longer distances. Targets can get lost in the reticle. (Remember: the Scout is designed as a "general purpose rifle".)
I've since upgraded to the Nightforce 2.5-10X32mm NSX with a mildot reticle. I really like this scope and would only consider changing it if I can get a 1.5-4 IER Leupold (their newest offering).
