Guns Listing ID: 459427



The Steyr Mountain Rifle, chambered in .30-06 Springfield, is a lightweight bolt-action hunting rifle designed specifically for hunters who traverse rugged terrains and require a reliable, accurate, and portable firearm. Steyr Arms, known for its high-quality craftsmanship and innovation, combines these elements into a durable and accurate platform that excels in the backcountry.

Key Features of the Steyr Mountain Rifle - .30-06 Springfield:
Caliber:

Chambered in .30-06 Springfield, the Steyr Mountain Rifle provides the power and versatility needed for hunting medium to large game, including deer, elk, and bear. The .30-06 round is known for its long-range capability, hard-hitting power, and wide availability, making it a trusted choice for hunters across the globe.
Barrel:

The rifle features a short, cold-hammer-forged barrel, typically around 20 to 22 inches in length, which balances portability with accuracy. The cold-hammer-forging process ensures that the barrel maintains excellent accuracy over time and is more durable under rough field conditions.
The barrel is free-floating, enhancing accuracy by minimizing interference with the stock and allowing for more consistent shot placement.
Action:

The Steyr Mountain Rifle uses a bolt-action system with Steyr‚‚s famous butter-smooth operation. The three-lug bolt design ensures a secure lock-up and provides a 60-degree bolt lift, making it faster and easier to cycle the action compared to traditional 90-degree bolt lifts.
The bolt system also includes two large extractor lugs, ensuring reliable extraction of spent cartridges in all weather conditions.
Stock:

The rifle typically comes with a synthetic stock, designed to be lightweight and rugged. The stock is also ergonomically shaped to provide a comfortable grip and better control, even in wet or adverse conditions.
Some variants of the Steyr Mountain Rifle also feature wooden stocks, offering a more traditional aesthetic without compromising performance.
Weight:

One of the main advantages of the Steyr Mountain Rifle is its lightweight design. Weighing around 6.5 to 7 pounds, the rifle is easy to carry over long distances, making it ideal for backcountry or mountainous hunting. This lightweight build does not sacrifice performance, as it still maintains excellent accuracy and recoil management.
Trigger:

The Steyr Mountain Rifle is equipped with an adjustable, single-stage trigger, offering a crisp and clean break. The trigger can be fine-tuned by the shooter to ensure optimal performance and feel, typically set at around 2.5 to 3 pounds for hunting applications.
The trigger system often includes a three-position safety, allowing the user to lock the bolt in a safe position while still enabling the bolt to be cycled for loading and unloading safely.
Magazine:

The rifle comes with a detachable box magazine with a capacity of around 4 rounds for .30-06 Springfield. Steyr’s magazine design often includes a unique feature where the magazine can be securely locked into the rifle in a \"locked\" position, preventing accidental feeding from the magazine while still allowing the bolt to be cycled. This feature adds an extra level of safety when hunting.
Muzzle:

The barrel is often threaded, allowing for the attachment of a muzzle brake or suppressor. A muzzle brake can be particularly helpful in reducing the felt recoil of the .30-06 round, making follow-up shots quicker and more comfortable.
Recoil Management:

The Steyr Mountain Rifle includes a recoil pad integrated into the stock to help reduce the impact of the .30-06 Springfield’s recoil. The combination of the rifle‚‚s weight and the effective recoil pad makes it comfortable to shoot for extended periods, even with the powerful .30-06 round.
Accuracy:

Known for its precision engineering, the Steyr Mountain Rifle provides excellent out-of-the-box accuracy. The cold-hammer-forged barrel, free-floating design, and adjustable trigger work together to deliver consistent sub-MOA (minute of angle) groups with the right ammunition, making it a reliable choice for long-range hunting.
The .30-06 Springfield offers a flat trajectory and is effective out to several hundred yards, making it suitable for both close and long-range hunting situations.
Durability:

Steyr rifles are built to withstand the elements, and the Mountain Rifle is no exception. The synthetic stock is resistant to changes in temperature and moisture, making it ideal for hunting in tough environments, from snow-capped mountains to humid forests.
The steel parts are often treated with corrosion-resistant finishes, adding to the rifle‚‚s longevity and reliability in wet or harsh conditions.
Ergonomics:

The design of the Steyr Mountain Rifle emphasizes comfort and ease of use, with an ergonomic stock and a well-balanced feel that reduces fatigue during long hunts. The lightweight build, combined with the rifle’s short overall length, makes it easy to maneuver through thick brush or when navigating tough terrain.
Sights and Optics:

The rifle typically comes drilled and tapped for mounting scopes, allowing the shooter to attach high-quality optics for long-range precision. The absence of iron sights on most models emphasizes its intended use with scopes.
Steyr offers options for Picatinny rails or scope bases, making it compatible with a wide range of optics for both hunting and target shooting.
Safety:

The Steyr Mountain Rifle includes Steyr‚‚s innovative three-position safety system. The safety allows for three distinct positions: safe, fire, and safe with the ability to manipulate the bolt. This ensures the utmost safety while still enabling quick and easy operation when needed.
Use Case:
The Steyr Mountain Rifle in .30-06 Springfield is designed primarily for hunting in challenging terrains, such as mountains, hills, or dense forests, where weight, accuracy, and reliability are crucial. The lightweight build, combined with the powerful .30-06 Springfield cartridge, makes it an ideal choice for hunters pursuing medium to large game at a variety of ranges.
