Steyr Mannlicher Scout | .223 Rem | 19in | 5rd

The Steyr Scout is a compact, lightweight bolt-action rifle designed for versatile field use and accurate, practical handling. Built on Steyr’s Safe Bolt System, it emphasizes durability, a low overall weight, and features that support both optic use and rapid iron-sight deployment. For a forward-mounted low-power optic that complements the Scout’s intended handling characteristics, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 or a similar low-power variable priced well under $1,000.

Applications for this rifle include precision varmint and small-game work at moderate ranges and use as a lightweight field rifle for extended pack-outs or ranch work.
