I bought Steyr Pro Hunter SS in .270 a few years ago and it quickly became my favourite hunting rifle I have that will consistently put groups into one bullet hole at 100 yards. So I wanted another in my favourite moose calibre, 7mm Rem Mag. I discovered that Steyr stopped making these rifles in 7mm Rem Mag even before I bought the .270, stating that they do not make enough money on these Pro Hunters, as they simply wanted a $1000 rifle in the market. So, I started my search.....and kept searching....until a few weeks ago.

After 2 years, I was able to locate an unfired Pro Hunter in 7mm RM, so I quickly made it mine. It showed up in the mail today and I wasted no time mounting the rings and scope as well as giving the rifle a thorough cleaning. The bolt is very smooth and the trigger has no creep - breaking at 3.25lbs. I'm going to have a long and meaningful relationship with this rifle; looking forward to getting it out in the field.

Steyr Pro Hunter 7mm RM, Leupold QR bases w/high rings holding a Nikon Prostaff 5 mildot FFP 4.5-18 x 40mm.
