The Steyr Scout is the result of collaboration between Steyr Mannlicher and Jeff Cooper, the creator and proponent of the scout rifle concept. The Steyr Scout is a lightweight bolt-action all-purpose rifle, designed for accurate fire without optics or with only a forward-mounted low-powered scope. Integrated back-up sights can be deployed quickly if needed.

Though fed from a 5-round or optional 10-round magazine, the Steyr Scout is also designed for easy feeding of individual rounds with the magazine in a lowered cutoff position. A back-up magazine can be kept in the rifle’s buttstock.

The Steyr Scout’s stock also incorporates an integrated folding bipod which can be deployed and retracted quickly and easily. It has a 20-inch fluted cold-hammer forged barrel and a single-stage adjustable trigger. The rifle has an overall length of 39.4 inches and weighs 6.6 pounds empty.
