The AUG made the m16 look not as alien as it did and to think it was many decades ago they designed them. It was just too sci fi i think.

@@TheAnnoyingBoss Yeah I've talked to soldiers in Australia who said they'd prefer an AUG over an AR platform any day. The bullpup design I think makes shouldering the rifle more comfortable, and the AUG is a shorter weapon with the same full length barrel too. The complaint you always hear with a bull-pup is the trigger, and the AUG supposedly even has one of the best feeling bull-pup triggers.
Man. What a dream rifle. Give it to us in .308 with a 16-20 inch barrel and somewhere around 2 grand and you’ll have the market for a battle rifle absolutely cornered
Literally. Only thing that threw me off is when I thought he said 14 inch barrel, but if it’s going to be a quick change barrel I’m willing to bet they’ll offer longer barrel lengths
Steyr is a fairly expensive brand but their quality is amazing (based on their pcp target air rifles/pistols, of which I own 3). So I don’t think you can get this for under 3 grand)
At 2k USD, it is very comparable to many already available 308 piston DMR options. Robinson XCR, POF Revolution, PWS Mk216/Mk218. It'll be interesting to see how well the new Steyr holds zero from cold bore and during sustained firing vs those. Personally, I'd rather the customization of the XCR than the other options.
I'd absolutely buy this if it costs in the $2 grand price range. It looks awesome and is feature packed. Very nice gun and it comes from a company with a very well respected pedigree. I'm very interested. Best looking AR10 I've seen in a while.
They will have competition from guys building a standard AR308 platform with adams arms gas pistons, custom charging handles and adj gas systems that already exist. This can be done for less than $1000.
He sounded confident they are "bringing" it to the U.S. he did mention U.S. production worst case scenario. Only hold up would be price. You will pay for the name and quality - sub moa light weight gun
Since Steyr has production facilities in the USA. They can finish the rifle with the 922R parts list to get a tactical rifle into the USA. Otherwise Steyr has to neuter the gun to make it a "sporting" rifle. It's like the problem with the Benelli M-4 shotgun. The Benelli shotgun that is imported to the USA is a "sporting" shotgun. The M-4 that everyone wants is the tactical version. For those that have a "sporting" Benelli M-4 you convert to the full tactical model with the parts made by Freedom Tactical Company. They make all the parts needed to fulfill the requirements of 922R rule of the ATF. You can either install the parts yourself or send your M-4 to Freedom Tactical for installation. You may not have to do this since Steyr can send partially made rifles to the US as parts kits. And the US facility completes the rifle with the US made parts for final assembly. And yes the ATF is absolutely useless. Definitely wanting to completely disarm all Americans. Not just the criminals. Making policies that have the same impact of felony laws. Only the Congress and Senate can make such laws. Not some bureaucratic agency.

@Jay Hopkins the best ar10 receivers are seekins precision or aeroprecision m5 enhanced. Cheapest way would be buy a complete aero M5e1 rifle immediately trash the barrel and put in a Craddock Precision signature series barrel and a trigger tech. Sgt of arms makes a good ar10 as well or buy the seekins precision complete rifle. The only route under 2k is the aero with barrel upgrade. I have 5 ar10. 1 being wilson combat 2a armament xanthos home built aeros and an armalite super SASS. Most accurate are home built with bartlein barrels (Craddock Precision)
@@Bill-dj4sj it’s not a Glock copy. The only similarities are that the Steyr pistols also have a polymer frame and that they are striker fired, but asides from that they are pretty different.

Interesting to see companies producing for .277 Fury / 6.8 whatever they are going to call it. It probably won't be long until someone develops one with the specific barrel length and gas settings to optimize the round for longer range shooting. Even though it seems like most people think the M7 is basically going to be a DMR, the Army seems to see otherwise and might be interested in something that can reach out even further with greater precision in a DMR role.
From what I understand the 6.8 ammo is key ingredient in that weapon, and the 6.8 available to the public isn't going to be the same thing they're running in the military. It being suited for defeating body armor/not available to the public is kind of upsetting. They claim it's forward thinking for battles with China/Russia, but it would also be suitable for dealing with domestic combatants that are geared up.
@WaterZer0 In my experience, reliability with the DI gas system (be it under or over gas), weight (my AR-10 is at least 10 pounds without anything on it), physical size (this gun looks significantly smaller than most guns on the market), and I'd assume it'll be more favorable with suppressors without specific modification. To name a few. I'm sure you can find many more out there. It seems like most manufacturers just scale up their AR-15s to .308 and call it a day, so they tend to have these issues. While in this case they spent 2 years dedicated to making a DMR that has similarities but isn't the same as usual AR10s. The folding stock is a great bonus too. With usual AR10s, at best you can get an adapter but you can't shoot while it's folded.
Dudes. You have the best job in the world. I know you all work your assess off to produce these videos, but damn. What I wouldn’t give to trade places with you for a month. Keep it up. Keep the vids coming. And stay safe out there.
Sig set a new standard of piston driven operating systems along side, spring and buffer in the upper receiver configuration. So there can be a folder stock and still be able to fire. Sweet.
Sig didnt set the standard. Ar18 system been around longer. Buffer tube systems have better recoil characteristics. At the time, there was no reason to prioritize bufferless systems since fighting doctrine had not considered cqb and mobile infantry prioritizing folding stocks. Matter of fact, even now there are few instances where you would need to fire with the stock folded, tbh it’s a gimmick unless you’re ALWAYS going to be engaging from compact positions ( inside a vehicle, etc). Also, if you’re planning on rebutting that the MCXs have a better recoil pattern than a standard AR, no, they dont. The MCX compensates for the lack of a buffer tube with additional weight to manage recoil. Even the MPX(9mm MCX) is heavier than my 16inch DI, that’s ridiculous. The only thing I would like to see on ARs in the newest MCX would be the left-side charging feature, the rear charging handle is definitely an outdated feature on AR15s
@@pablojosediablo A piston driven operating system, with a spring and buffer in the upper receiver? I have not heard of that before Sig. If so, okay. Sig made it popular. 😄

Love steyr. I have an m95 for a hunting rifle and had an m9a2 for carry. Only reason I got rid of the m9a2 was cuz the sights were just painted instead of night sights. I was heartbroken when I found out the iconic trapezoid sights were useless in the dark

Otherwise Steyr has to neuter the gun to make it a "sporting" rifle. It's like the problem with the Benelli M-4 shotgun. The Benelli shotgun that is imported to the USA is a "sporting" shotgun. The M-4 that everyone wants is the tactical version. For those that have a "sporting" Benelli M-4 you convert to the full tactical model with the parts made by Freedom Tactical Company. They make all the parts needed to fulfill the requirements of 922R rule of the ATF. You can either install the parts yourself or send your M-4 to Freedom Tactical for installation.
You may not have to do this since Steyr can send partially made rifles to the US as parts kits. And the US facility completes the rifle with the US made parts for final assembly. And yes the ATF is absolutely useless. Definitely wanting to completely disarm all Americans. Not just the criminals. Making policies that have the same impact of felony laws. Only the Congress and Senate can make such laws. Not some bureaucratic agency.
I’m completely on board with the new MDRX . You can get that in 20 and it’s like a scar bullpup
Would love to see more Steyr’s in 🇺🇸
Interesting to see companies producing for .277 Fury / 6.8 whatever they are going to call it. It probably won't be long until someone develops one with the specific barrel length and gas settings to optimize the round for longer range shooting. Even though it seems like most people think the M7 is basically going to be a DMR, the Army seems to see otherwise and might be interested in something that can reach out even further with greater precision in a DMR role.
From what I understand the 6.8 ammo is key ingredient in that weapon, and the 6.8 available to the public isn't going to be the same thing they're running in the military. It being suited for defeating body armor/not available to the public is kind of upsetting.
They claim it's forward thinking for battles with China/Russia, but it would also be suitable for dealing with domestic combatants that are geared up.
@@drownthepoor “domestic combatants”.... You mean like us?? 😅
@@_DST0NE_ Correct sir.
Seeing as it’s made by Steyr they really should try to introduce a modern day bullpup too to play off what they’re most known for
STEYR make great products. I have had there pistols and a rifle.
This is going to be a buy when it's available.
Thanks for covering IWA. Please run by the Pedersoli booth. Maybe even have a look at the Walther GSP 500.
I love this development!
Well that's nice of them to bring it to the US market. Usually the cool stuff like the g62 or 300 blk aug they just don't attempt at all.
What are you talking about? The G62 isn't sold anywhere, it's not about bringing it to the US.
That folding stock has me sold. Id buy it.
That barrel change system looks reminiscent of the LMT MRP.
It looks great!
Unbullpups an AUGs and scales it up. I’m sold on that idea
The trend is the charging handle delete. I like it!
The Steyr rep should have his own channel.
Dude! Swing by FN booth and gave us a tour around HiPer.. 🙏🏼
Looks like a good rifle that fixes all the very common issues with current AR10s on the market
What would those issues be?
@WaterZer0 In my experience, reliability with the DI gas system (be it under or over gas), weight (my AR-10 is at least 10 pounds without anything on it), physical size (this gun looks significantly smaller than most guns on the market), and I'd assume it'll be more favorable with suppressors without specific modification. To name a few. I'm sure you can find many more out there.
It seems like most manufacturers just scale up their AR-15s to .308 and call it a day, so they tend to have these issues. While in this case they spent 2 years dedicated to making a DMR that has similarities but isn't the same as usual AR10s. The folding stock is a great bonus too. With usual AR10s, at best you can get an adapter but you can't shoot while it's folded.
@@WaterZer0Inconsistency.
@NightHawk114 he doesn't care, ar10 fanboys are the most fanatic fudds out there.
I’m literally waiting to buy this and have been since this video launched.
3 kilos and 1 moa in one .308 package. Sweet!
Gorgeous piece of human ingenuity
Erwin seems like such a cool guy.
Dudes. You have the best job in the world. I know you all work your assess off to produce these videos, but damn. What I wouldn’t give to trade places with you for a month. Keep it up. Keep the vids coming. And stay safe out there.
What happened the the $1200 B&T 380 pistol? Now it’s listing for $2800!!
It was a joke at $1200 anyway.
Finnish product is in sale already, gas operated short stroke piston, caliber change on the fly ect. cost 4,7k EUR for one caliber. KAR-21
I dig it! Thanks for sharing.
So it's an AR version of a para FAL but accurate af and lightweight. Perfection.
Looks like a better option, at least weight-wise, for an M4 replacement compared to the Sig
Really easy to claim when you've never fired the two side by side, much less in combat scenarios.
@@EtherFox but I can look at the weight. The sig is pretty heavy, though that may improve with production versions.
@Dick Izzinya no hate exhibited. The sig is just heavy though that nave change in production.
Aesthetically immaculate.
It looks like an ar
@@smokingcrab2290 it has a bit more curve to it than the average AR. I like it as far as ARs go.
Definitely has some ACR/AR-18 DNA in that styling.
0:05 Why are you showing a graphic for IWA Outdoor Classics when EnforceTac is a completely different expo??
This guy's accent is terrific. The rifle is neat too, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's $2000+.
I love it! It also isn’t banned in my assault weapons ban state.
Sig set a new standard of piston driven operating systems along side, spring and buffer in the upper receiver configuration. So there can be a folder stock and still be able to fire. Sweet.
Sig didnt set the standard. Ar18 system been around longer. Buffer tube systems have better recoil characteristics. At the time, there was no reason to prioritize bufferless systems since fighting doctrine had not considered cqb and mobile infantry prioritizing folding stocks. Matter of fact, even now there are few instances where you would need to fire with the stock folded, tbh it’s a gimmick unless you’re ALWAYS going to be engaging from compact positions ( inside a vehicle, etc). Also, if you’re planning on rebutting that the MCXs have a better recoil pattern than a standard AR, no, they dont. The MCX compensates for the lack of a buffer tube with additional weight to manage recoil. Even the MPX(9mm MCX) is heavier than my 16inch DI, that’s ridiculous. The only thing I would like to see on ARs in the newest MCX would be the left-side charging feature, the rear charging handle is definitely an outdated feature on AR15s
@@pablojosediablo A piston driven operating system, with a spring and buffer in the upper receiver? I have not heard of that before Sig. If so, okay. Sig made it popular. 😄
@@MrLamont1975 Ever heard of a Kalashnikov??
14 inch barrel I’m assuming that’s pin and weld. If so I’ll definitely take 1 maybe 2
James has to do a review of this rifle
Now these guys know how to design a gun. After watching the Beretta DMR version video these guys are light years ahead. Everything the customer wants nothing they don't
Beautiful rifle!… I so hope we get them in the US
That's a very nice looking rifle. 👍🏻
A great very interesting video and rifle. As steamy substantial and packed as sauerkraut sausages and schnitzel. That was a great answer about the price:"Decent".Would you prefer this Steyer rifle in Heat or Die Hard? Have a good one.
Love steyr. I have an m95 for a hunting rifle and had an m9a2 for carry. Only reason I got rid of the m9a2 was cuz the sights were just painted instead of night sights. I was heartbroken when I found out the iconic trapezoid sights were useless in the dark
