Steyr Pro THB – Full Review. The lighter rifle with more recoil and rifle bounce, combined with the thin and less stable forearm on the stock, made for a rifle that was a bit more difficult to get back on target for a good followup shot. This manifested itself with poorer accuracy and a slower engagement time. Here is a picture of the Pro Hunter Flash camo i tested for a french hunting magazine last year. Caliber 7-08, 15 shots in around 7mn to make the barrel burn and the point of impact move, 150m, on a Millet polymer rest, Kahles 1,5-6x42CSi scope.

I have a stainless Pro hunter in 6.5x55 and it is a great shooting rifle with the 2 loads with 140gr bullets I have shot in it.A good friend of mine has this rifle chambered in 300 Win mag and claims it to be the most accurate 30 cal he has ever owned, and this fellow does a lot of shooting. This claim made me purchase the one for sale that I saw, damn glad I did.Regards Greg- 12/02/09 Re: Steyr Pro Hunter OpinionsJoined: Mar 2004Posts: 6,493Campfire TrackerCampfire TrackerJoined: Mar 2004Posts: 6,493. The recoil pad on the Pro Hunter looks like it is a couple of inches thick, of course this is only partially actual recoil pad, with the remaining being the adjustable apparatus.How much adjustment do you have, or how much is the max. LOP?Is it effective in absorbing felt recoil as well as say a Decelerator or LimbSaver?I am toying with the idea of a stainless camo stocked model in 300 WSM or maybe 30-06. I rather like the idea of an extremely accurate 30-06 even it it is a bit ugly to look at.- 12/02/09 Re: Steyr Pro Hunter OpinionsJoined: Oct 2008Posts: 15,000Campfire 'BwanaCampfire 'BwanaJoined: Oct 2008Posts: 15,000.
Magnum Bolt Guns: Steyr, Browning Get 'A' GradesFriday, November 13, 2009Article courtesy ofFiring the Federal Vital Shok ammunition topped with a 160-grain Nosler AccuBond bullet, we landed our best single group of our tests, measuring about 0.7 inches across. The Steyr also landed a 0.8-inch group firing the Winchester ammunition. But we also printed a 1.5-inch group with this same ammunition. In our view, the Steyr was the overall winner on our accuracy charts.Our Team Said: We think the Steyr Pro Hunter was the rifle most likely to be found in the hands of the guide on your next hunting trip.
We think the generous gap provided by the full-float barrel helped minimize degradation of accuracy due to heat. We also found the Pro Hunter to be easily managed. Once it was shouldered, we seldom needed to adjust our mount.
It slid into position willingly and filled the shoulder pocket. The bolt felt eager to cycle, and even our least experienced staffer said that the trigger was most forgiving. No matter how we engaged the trigger initially, we found it easy to find the control for a good press.The SSG 08Tuesday, September 09, 2008 - Guns and Weapons for Law EnforcementEven though I am a sharpshooter instructor and can shoot most rifles to their potential, I am not into benchrest, and groups that small make me smile.
With that smile on my face I shot another one. Result, a 0.33 of an inch group. “I can’t be so lucky”, I thought, while I loaded the magazine with three more rounds.When I shot a 0.28 of an inch group I realized two things.
First, that the SSG08 is the most precise out-of-the box rifle I have ever shot, and second, that I could barely scratch its potential on a 300-meter range. You have to bring custom benchrest rifles into the arena to print around 1/4-MOA groups one after the other. Half-MOA, maybe, but not this small.Steyr-Mannlicher SBS 'Light Tactical' - Out of the BoxGuns Magazine, July, 2003 by Jim GardnerDue to the light barrel contour, three round groups were fired at 100 yards from the bench. The worst performance was a PA-inch cluster from Black Hills moly-coated, 168-grain BTHP. Best showings came in at.314 inch from the Remington 168-grain BTHP, and 7/8 inch from the Black Hills Gold 150-grain Nosler ballistic tip load.- 12/03/09 Re: Steyr Pro Hunter OpinionsJoined: Mar 2004Posts: 6,493Campfire TrackerCampfire TrackerJoined: Mar 2004Posts: 6,493.
