Not only does the Steyr have irons, but...even though they are intended as back-ups and are usually folded down out of the way...they are still better than the original equipment sights on most rifles being sold today.
Check the snapshot I posted. The orginal iron sights are still there and are instantly usable even, through an admittedly small opening in the ring mounts.
I see they can be used, but I wouldn't want my scope that high or that far back. When you have a neck like a giraffe, and arms like a gibbon...and are old-fashioned enough to like a scope kept as low as possible rather than up on the second floor...stuff like this becomes more important. Ideally, with most scopes that exhibit a more or less typical amount of eye relief, my preferred eyepiece location is just barely behind the trigger. Your gun would likely require me to consciously hold my face a little further back than where I would naturally land, in order to avoid a black eye or worse.
Well like I said it's a near ideal setup for me, what with my giraffe neck and my gibbon arms.I see they can be used, but I wouldn't want my scope that high or that far back.
