I have several from 22-250 to 338 win. which is a beautiful rifle... None in the full stock ... They are great shooters, and the double set trigger is the mutts nuts. I have double sets on all but one that is 30-06 All are very accurate.

Beautiful rifle, why does it look rippled where the action meets the barrel? Stock in one pic, barrel in multiple...
Factory "twisted hammer forged barrels" - I've got 1 in 30-06 with set trigger, standard stock configuration

My father had one but some [censored] broke into our house while we were on vacation, if I remember right they stole 13 firearms, including my first shotgun, rifle, etc.

Those "ripples" are from the cold hammer forging process Steyr used to rifle their barrels.
This brings back a lot of memories: I had a Steyr Luxus in .270 very, very similar to this one. Mine had a single set trigger...I would have preferred the double sets. I nicknamed the rifle "Rollender Donner"..."Rolling Thunder" in German. That little carbine was LOUD, and if you used powder a wee bit too slow burning, you got an impressive muzzle blast!

It's a factory trademark to show that it's a hammer forged barrel. They were made post 1970

for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

I've got one in .243 that will get a new home at some point. I don't have a magazine for it and the magwell is cracked if I remember correctly. It's a plastic piece and part of the trigger guard if I'm thinking right. I haven't looked at it in a bit. But it looks similar to the one pictured here.

There is a place in Alabama I think that's where that has spare parts. I have a box full in the event I need them.
