The Steyr Scout (also called the Mannlicher Scout to reflect the company's other name) is a modern scoped bolt-action rifle manufactured by Steyr Mannlicher and chambered primarily for 7.62 mm NATO (.308 Winchester), although other chamberings are offered commercially. It is intended to fill the role of a versatile, lightweight all-around rifle as specified in Jeff Cooper's scout rifle concept. Apart from the barrel and action, it is made primarily of polymers and is designed to be accurate to at least 300 - 400 meters. The Steyr Scout is also available in 5.56 mm NATO, .243 Winchester, .376 Steyr and 7mm-08 Remington. Image File history File links Scout-1-.gif‎ This is a 308. ...

"Aftermarket" pivot pin replacements are also available^[1].

The other criticism has been of recurring light hits (primer strikes), particularly with early production runs. Factory recommended solutions have typically been adjust the spring to the next higher setting or to install a "high energy" firing pin kit or stiffer spring^[2].

The Picatinny rail above the action and barrel allow either for conventional positioning of a scope with normal 1.5 in - 3.5 eye relief or for the forward placement of a "scout scope" with intermediate or long eye relief. The latter is more faithful to Cooper's Scout concept, and the Steyr-Mannlicher rifle can be ordered from the factory with a low-magnification Leupold scope with long eye relief. The eye relief of a telescope is the distance from the eyepiece the eye can be placed at which the exit pupil is approximately the same size as the eyes pupil. ...

Steyr Elite

The Steyr Elite

A variant and effectively the successor of the Scout is the Steyr Elite (previously known as the Steyr Tactical Elite), a more robustly constructed model with many of the same features of the Scout, but designed primarily for the law enforcement market for an urban tactical role. Differences to the standard Scout include an extended STANAG type mounting rail, an enlarged bolt knob of the SSG type, and an adjustable cheek piece. It is also fitted with a heavy 570mm (22.4 in) barrel, and can produce high muzzle velocities due to a "fast" internal profile. It is standard with a synthetic 5 round magazine, but an external adaptor kit can be attached to fit a 10 round magazine. It is available in three calibers; .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and 7 mm-08 Remington.
