    Not a defense, but some clarification: In Austria and Germany, hunting is weird and a lot different from hunting in the USA and Canada. It is more like owning your own aircraft. Getting a hunting license is expensive and requires a lot of studying and passing a examination, very much so like getting a pilot license. Being a hunter in the German speaking world is a real commitment. You spend amounts of money only someone well off, at least upper middle class, can afford and then the places you can hunt at are super limited. You can't just pack your gun, a cheap one season hunting license and then just head into some forest and shoot something. You need a contract with a farmer to be allowed to hunt on his land.
    So even if you have the money and get that license that cost you as much as a pilots license, you still might be out of luck because you have nowhere to hunt. Another thing it has in common with being a private plane pilot. You need a place to put that plane.
    So that hand full of guys who get to actually do it, are very determined, older rich dudes who drive around in 150.000 Dollar G-Wagons with 5000 to 10.000 Dollar hunting rifles, usually.
    That is why a Austrian rifle manufacturer thinks they are being cheap and democratic when selling a 1200 Dollar rifle.
    It is like a private plane manufacturer selling a "cheap" 100.000 Dollar plane "for the masses".

      @TrangleC 4 роки тому +31

      @@DarkhalfBreed There really aren't any blue collar hunters in Germany/Austria, as far as I can tell. It really is a past time for rich people and older rich people at that.
      One of my German uncles was a hunter, but he had a stroke and had to give it up. I never really talked to him about it, but he wasn't a big gun nut anyways. He was in it for the tradition and the culture that surrounds hunting, sitting in a lodge with his rich hunter buddies, drinking grog or Irish coffee and talking politics.
      The guns were just a tool to him, like a shovel to a hobbyist gardener and I doubt he would be interested in talking guns or gun culture.
      Hunter culture in Germany is kind of elitist and for some of them the actual hunting is almost an afterthought. It is a lot like Golf in the USA, or Fox Hunting in the UK. It is more about networking and wearing the right clothes, breeding the right dogs and shit like that.
      Hunting lodges are kind of like those elite men's clubs where old, rich dudes smoke Cuban cigars and talk about their last African Safari and so on.
      They spend small fortunes on fancy, engraved rifles, but those are status symbols and you buy them to impress your peers, not really because they would shoot better or because you are a real gun nut, or anything like that.

      @@joquin4618 Depressing indeed.
      I haven't even mentioned the worst thing about it yet, because it wasn't relevant in the context of Steyr selling expensive rifles.
      Even if the license weren't so expensive, I doubt that many people would chose hunting as a hobby in the German speaking world.
      I mentioned that you need a contract with a land owner to hunt. That contract isn't just about allowing you to hunt, you have to take stewardship and responsibility for that land to some extend. You can be made liable to some extend for damage caused by wildlife.
      If a hoard of wild pigs for example ruins crops on a field, the farmer can hold you as the designated hunter for that piece of land responsible.
      One of the reasons for why hunting is a rich people sport in Germany and Austria (and Switzerland too, as far as I know), is that it is kind of like a unpaid part time job and a financial liability on top of that.
      You need very good, very expensive insurance, not just because you could accidentally shoot someone, but also to cover you in case you get sued for not killing enough pigs or deer. I'm not sure, but I even heard that a local government can fine a hunter if too many cars run into deer on the land he is responsible for.
      So it is basically like being a unpaid park ranger, with the looming thread of law suits over your head.
      That is what I meant when I said it is only for really determined people. You need to really love hunting to put up with all that crap and you better have enough free time and the money to afford that insurance. You'll have to go out there and shoot surplus vermint even if you don't feel like it that day, if you don't want to get sued or lose your hunting rights for that piece of land.
      Of course the rules for what to do with the animals you shot are very strict too. That makes it so hard to keep on top of a rapidly reproducing pig population. You can't just mow them down when they get out of control, like they do in Texas and other places. You can only shoot what you can pull out of the forest and process, which makes population control a slow, steady and tedious affair.

    I have a Steyr Scout rifle in .308 I carry around on our family tree farm to eliminate the occasional wild hog or coyote we see wandering around (we're surrounded by cattle ranchers that love us).
    Bought it on a lark after returning from overseas, but damn if it's not a smooth-shooting, accurate-as-hell-when-I-do-my-part, easily-carried rifle when going through the heavy tree plots and hacking away at the thick underbrush. The action on it is still smooth as silk and the trigger break is like a glass rod even after firing several hundred rounds through it.
    Don't think of a Steyr bolt-action as an expensive rifle, think of it as an investment in a quality firearm that will outlast you.

    Very disappointing. The Corvus Defensio products are nothing new, they've been available for purchase on Steyr's website for more then a year. Meanwhile the various modular parts that the AUG has been famous for since the 80's, like the 24 inch heavy barrel and the 9mm conversion kit are still unavailable. Not to mention the 300 blackout conversion that they've been teasing since 2017 isn't even mentioned here.

Ever since they announced the Atrax they have been copping shit. And the Australian government is there biggest customer. They aren't cozy in America where freedom to bear arms is a right. It's very different down under. So when the mosque shooting happened in NZ who are considered our brothers, Lithgow arms started making headlines again about selling these 'deadly weapons' to the US. New Anti-gun laws were in the talks as soon as it happened. Note too that Lithgow arms are a donater to the Australian Gov, anti-gunners know it and they see Lithgow arms and the Gov as buddy buddy. While I do agree Lithgow should have held its ground, and I have no doubt they wanted to but there's just so much going against them (wouldn't be surprised if the Australian government told them no).
      Anyway, they didn't say it was to be the case forever.

    Congrats, you made the Aug ugly. I wanted an Aug, then I realized I could run a carbine length AR15 with the stock fully collapsed, with a raiser and red dot and the length difference is about 4"(10cm). Plus the AR platform is more reliable and waaaay cheaper. Bullpups just aren't as reliable as conventional rifles.

    Steyr pistols a good price point! I could get a Savage and save a ton of my money. I don't think this is a great value. And the hair is bad on this guy. Bad! Pick one color!
