Steyr Mannlicher Scout | 6.5 Creedmoor | 19″ Barrel | Black

The Steyr Scout is a compact, lightweight bolt-action rifle built for versatility and durability in field use. This configuration is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and features a 19-inch fluted, cold-hammer-forged, threaded barrel with a protective thread cap. It includes an integrated bipod housed in the forearm and deployable ghost-ring backup sights for rapid transition off of optics. For a primary optic under $1,000, consider the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 as a capable match for the Scout’s real-world roles.

Its forward-thinking integration of a bipod and backup sights supports both scoped, two-eyes-open engagements and rapid fallback to iron sights. The rifle pairs practical modern ergonomics with Steyr’s Safe Bolt System, providing clear, mechanical safety positions without adding unnecessary complexity.
