Wifes new hunting rifle

[noafrica4me]

I saw one a few years back and shouldn't have showed her the pictures.
But after a long time she finally has it. First one in private hands in the US.
18" 308 WIN. Grade 6 walnut and leather stock. Single set trigger.

First what is it? Second please tell me you’re gonna put a suppressor on the end of the barrel. That gun is just begging to be suppressed.

Very nice mix of modern and classic in my opinion.

Steyr arms Monobloc. I have a Bravo 15x1 in route to fit her silencerco.
The barrel and action are CHF from a single piece.

That is interesting. I haven’t seen a monobloc design. I gather it adds a lot to the process to create ra barrel and action one.

Being a .308 it will take many rounds to wear it out.

Edit.

There was an Australian review on these 2 years ago.

Interesting. Essentially looks like the way a Benelli shotgun fits together.

So barrel and action are one piece but the stock breaks down into like eleven. The cutaway view in the article above is quite interesting.

All that really matters is if she loves it, and assume it shoots lights out.

I don't think she'll like it that much if she shoots it without a suppressor. It's gonna jump.
