Straight pull Steyr. Every since I first saw one in Cabela's a few years back they have intrigued me. Yesterday I was in a gunshop and they had one for $129 so I bought it. Don't have it home yet because my FFLs never go through, have to do the waiting game. Caliber is most likely 8x62R, I didn't know shit about them until I got home and got on the net. Earlier model might be an 8x50R. Shoots a 205 grain bullet and kicks like a mule I guess. Stripper clips, called en bloc, must be used as they are actually part of the magazine and when the last round is chambered the clip falls out the bottom.
Part of my continuing fascination with milsurp guns. I almost bought a Mosin Nagant last spring when Cabela's had a shit load of them, next batch comes in I think I will get a nice one. Also passed up a chance to own a couple Jap Arisaka last year. Another fine old WW2 vintage gun that are cheap as hell right now.
