I agree as an option but never was standard, both my Scouts came with the direct trigger, i did try to buy one with a set trigger, no cigars i would had to do a special order... JP.

That more has to do with the retailer/distributor and what they stock/think will sell in north america rather than what is available from factory. I recently had this problem (again) with a Tikka as the distributor refuses to bring in the set trigger versions because they claim there is no demand, even refused a pre paid order for something the factory produces and has a part number for.
i called Steyr and they told me that Jeff Cooper while bullding the Scout wanted a non set trigger of 35 to 40 ounces as standard Scout configuration,

read the manual, the direct trigger in not user adjustable and cautions against you doing so.

It is an option and always has been, their own website confirms this.

This comes from the Steyr US site... They woudn't explain that the Scout as the possibility to be retrofitted with the set trigger w/o saying that it does not come out of the assembly line like that. It's not impossible to find one NIB for sale stateside with the set trigger but, as I just said, it didn't come from the assembly line like that, it was retrofitted with it before leaving the shop.

The rifles in this sale are from USA or we would see the raw hammer forging on the barrel like all the austrian raw stainless barrels and other austrian markings like are present on regular scouts
 
I have the set trigger on my Steyr Mannlicher 300 mag/375 H&H Luxus and while being at 10 ounces on the set, on regular trigger pull is around 3.5 pounds, a bit heavy to my taste... JP.

where is the need to use the regular trigger pull when you have a set? setting it becomes second nature and is done while you are shouldering the rifle taking no extra time to line up the shot or fiddle.

The benefits of having a set trigger for making shots on moving game is invaluable IMO but I can see where it could create problems for people who have not spent time using/practicing with them to garner the full potential they have.
 
They are adjustable, i did both mine to 34 ounces, you just have to take your time and be attentive... JP.

I didn't say that those specific rifles came from Europe. I didn't had a chance to handle one of these yet, I will get one within a week tho!

exactly, you dismissed that they come with a set trigger because that is a USA site I posted, however those are USA rifles that were sold.

Just trying to make sense of your posts and where you were going with them.
 
The barrel is fatter than a regular Scout, could be semi bull barrel this gonna be good for range work, it will heat slowly... And as we can see it's made in Austria... Good. JP.
