Steyr 95/34

[PanhandleGlocker]

You guys have me interested in Military rifles now. Saw these, they're cheap. Are they just not that sought after since factory ammo is about $25 a box and they use en bloc clips which are about $10 a clip?

I imagine a Mosin Nagant would be more economical to have... Is this rifles history worth a $100 though?

Did a search, nothing seemed to answer my questions... Thanks in advance guys!

They are definately different. Ammo is a bear to find though an surplus is almost as expensive as new production ammo.

Like most surplus rifles the price goes up as the supply decreases. I bought 3 of these a few years back around $50 a piece. Neat little straight pull action. Surplus ammo has dried up some and gotten a little more expensive. I bought dies and moulds to reload when I got mine. I actually haven't shot up my supply of surplus ammo yet and fired any of my Hornady ammo. If you get one keep an eye out for Midway sales on the ammo and save a few bucks.

They're neat, well-built guns, and 8x56r is a very capable round. If I didn't already have one, I would order one for $100.

I didn't like mine at all. Traded it and all my reloading stuff away - I way prefer the Mosin over the Steyr.

Better to have a Mauser than either.

I think I'd save that $100 for something that is more awesome personally.

Yeah, started thinking about it and it would end up costing me to much to shoot. All it would be good for is a piece of history.

I could never get a good feeling for a Steyr. Don't know why.

The straight pull bolt is nowhere near as smooth as a swiss rifle.

That's the truth!
