The Styer Scout is not a sniper rifle. A scout rifle is designed for medium and short range. A scope with a long eye relief and low power is ideal for a scout rifle. The scope should be mounted on the picatinny rail on the barrel. Scout rifles are popular for hunting.

Never thought i would see someone refer to the scout as an awful pawnshop gun

Ah the Steyr Scout, one of the craziest creations by Colonel Jeff Cooper which was initially developed for hunting game on the plains of Africa. It was a rifle that tried to tick every box and in doing so ended up ticking none of them. Just a heads up Rob, but that rifle was designed to be used with a long eye relief, mid powered, scout scope and not the long range scope that you mounted on it. It was supposed to be a lightweight and maneuverable rifle that you get on target fast.

This is really frustrating. The quality of the scout is great when used for it’s designed purpose. This is such a bummer from Rob.

It's a scout rifle jeff Cooper cam up with the concept. Should have a low power optic with long eye relief on the front.

Styer Scout is an awesome hunting rifle. Lite as heck and easy in the bush. Not a Sniper rifle by any stretch. Yours came with no optic so you didn't get the joy of using the weak optic it came with. Put a reasonable optic on and its solid at medium ranges. The only real drag is the crazy recoil. Its so lite it puts all the recoil on the shoulder. Try the Styer SBS heavy tactical if you want a longer range Styer. Heavy.

It always cracks me up, I can open carry all day long in Walmart, as soon as I start recording on my phone or camera, they go nuts!

it is designed for a scout scope buddy, you should have watched Garand Thumbs review on that before you bought that "thing" lol

How dare you insult the Steyr Scout rifle.

Styer is the same folks that make the AUG. Very innovative combat technology

Yes! Once the barrel gets hot the internal diameter changes allowing some of the force to leak past the bullet. So therefore causing less momentum which equals less accuracy. 2014 physics exchange. And I am very proud to say as a female shooter I actually did my research on this because I was flustered with my groupings after shooting 100 rounds down range. My spouse teased me in regards to it as we are very competitive when shooting!

Love watching you sight in different guns the way you did this vid Rob 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I dont know how but with all the yapping by Rob, it makes for entertaining videos 😂

Brotha, they used to take muskets consistently out to 800-900 yards. They have newspaper articles depicting the hits at competitions in the 1800s

The Scout is an Amazing rifle. It's meant to be used with a long eye relief scope like you would use on a revolver. I'll be happy to take it off your hands and even pay shipping if you don't like it. 😉

I have a Savage with the barrel touching the stock. I wrapped sandpaper on a piece of a broomstick and took off material wherever the barrel touched the stock. It went from a 2-inch group to a 1-inch group.

why did he think it was a sniper rifle ? the scout concept was fairly clearly not a sniper

You were robbed , you can get MDT 308/6.5 Creed mags for $80 all day long.

Great videos from army vet to vet keep it up brotha I ordered a pair of rubbers for my dad and myself , I would love to come shoot long range with you and bounce knowledge back and forth

I'm not a fan of the steyr scout bc of the bipod. But, if you keep it, I'd fix the irons (even if you get the proper scope for it). Edit: yes, when your barrel gets too hot, you will get different strings of fire. I prefer an AR platform for coyotes but either way, if you shoot slowly, it won't heat up as fast. For hunting purposes, I'd recommend going with your cold bore zero

Your rounds will string out as your barrel heats up but also as you foul the rifling I the barrel it can also affect the groups so you’re point of impact can change from a cold bore shot compared to a hot rifle or dirty gun

Almost all of our factory rifles we shoot long range with you have to take a dremal and bed/float the stocks to keep from barrel touch! Composite stocks have so much flex it’s a must to dig them out for barrel clearance!

Need Gabe with a spotting scope next to you looking at the target with the camera attachment so we can see both you shooting and the target

Rob I just want to let you know that Matt is killing it 🇺🇸🫡

I've noticed in every long distance shooting videos you always say I should take another shot to make sure but you don't and say it's good I'm confident in my ability. Then they always end this way, not hitting the spot and saying it's the scope or something lol

it also has a magazine disconnect, you can press the 2 magazine tabs when its loaded and drop it down by 1 position and single load rounds and then push the magazine all the way in for "rapid fire"

One of the biggest things I've noticed on my 22-250 and 220 Swift that effect accuracy is copper fouling. With the crazy velocity those things push they let a lot of copper in the barrel.

Great weapons ❤ always good too see gabe silent but obviously knows his stuff

the only things wrong with the scout is the bipod could just have a detent. you bought a scout sniper that more likely to be a trail/safari gun rather than a actual sniper and go like. -It's light "it punches the hell out of me!" -the mounting solutions were meant for lower power scopes for fast target acquisition "I can't mount any high powered scopes on it!" also I don't think that not being about to manipulate the bolt unless is on fire is fine to me.

Put a damn acog on the Scout your supposed to know that Rob Lol

Your action is relaxing into the chassis. Re torque scope and chassis if that doesn’t work glass bed the lug to the chassis. It helps with harmonics. Your chassis being properly fitted and torque has a lot to do with it. You can bed the scope mounts also and lap the scope rings

Rob got the dope with the steyr, Gabe nails it first try 😂😂

I run Hunting Safaris for Water Buffalo and banteng generally we use open sites it’s quicker in close proximity, but I’ve shot buffalo on the run at 200 metres I love Tim and had greetings of 2 inch in the Target spot open sides Work it’s only if you’re gonna go real long distance where scopes come into it

Rob has no idea the fanbase this weapon has!!! They are all after him now lmao

Im glad you're posting more again. We have missed you, Rob.

that rifle in thumb nail and looked cool, glad i got other stuff at gun show!

0:45 I was in a gun shop in Houston a while back they had similar rules about filming and photos because they were used by criminals for casing the shop for their break in

He's fucking with you. The state won't get mad at him. He just wants to protect his business is all which i completely understand

Hey here you are! Glad to see you bro

If you let the barrel run super hot might need a clean. The can could of come loose a little. Something barrels take 100 rounds to settle in. I've slipped rings on scopes and it doesn't take much to move the turret. Lastly check your action screws

The the point of impact sometimes can be affected by especially if the barrel isn’t properly stress relieved but for sure is interesting.

Thanks for the video

My Remington 700 did the same thing filed it down and worked perfect

See you really got some skills rob

MPA chassis are mint!!

A styer rifle comes with a super safe when the white but is up that’s super safe the bolt it locked not going anywhere if you scroll it to the white dot that is safe you can chamber a round and rack the bolt but after you shoot it yes you have to keep it on fire to reload I have a styer love it hope this is helpful

You should be using a low power optic that mounts further down on the rifle and has long eye relief for fast firing in safari hunts.

Now I know that iron sights don’t hold a thing to scopes at distance but I shoot my M1A at 600yds all the time and make constant impact on a 20in target and that is while standing.

I have a Remington 770 308 I love it

There is a reason why they release the scout 2 quickly to fix the action and trigger. The safety is a 2 stage system one setting i believe to charge and unload and one to not allow you to charge its weird.

They have those lil fans you can put in your action to help cool Of course it started from competition needs

That rifle needs a long eye relief scope.

Come on rob I had to use iron sights out to 500 in boot camp when I was in the Marines it’s not that bad lol Semper Fi brother love your videos

If you knew the actual features and how they function you might actually like the rifle. The 2nd position on the safty allows you to run the action while on safty. If you are lucky it will be the version with a set trigger. I would have snatched it up for 1300 they are great rifles. I will not leave a like because I would hate to see a Steyr destroyed.

Rob’s what’s the chassis your rifle is in? I have a Bergara b14 hmr that i think I’m having harmonics issues with too when suppressed…. Also yes you’re supposed to set the scope further up on the scout rifle….

Yeah forgotten weapons did a really good piece on th e styr scout

No debate it is a fact when the barrel gets hot point of impact changes and the grouping grows. That is a fact period. I have a 270 with a 1" profile barrel that yeah you can shoot 75 rounds or more before it gets hot, but once it gets hot the grouping goes from 1/4 MOA to about 1 MOA, and at about 100 rounds it's at about 2MOA. So it is fact that a hot barrel changes accuracy.

I met Gabe at Dallas Safari Club couple weeks ago. Great guy!

imo yes once the barrel is hot i have noticed a change in accuracy. my .308 with a bull barrel isnt to bad but after about 15 rounds she starts to wander a little

It's not a sniper so don't expect it to work as a sniper. It's a scout rifle with a main use on hunting in a safari... And the reason why the bolt is sticky is because it's made to withstand insane pressures.

The best part is the company that made your new chassis also made the Mac 10 clone you had in your last video. By the way they make great double stack 1911s

"I'm 4 foot high" "ohh okayy good" lol. Damn.

Thanks Rob!

Two diff types of rails i have on my rifles, picatiny and dovetail pretty sure if your scope rings dont fit on that rifle thats a dove tail system cause i think it looks like you have all picatiny

I actually love that rifle I want one for the firing range I always loved the steyr scout, neat bipod I don't know it's effectiveness I also love how it's light weight id put the right scope on it

The other silencer might be fine you just might have to break it in. Use the same ammo run 20 or more rounds through it enogh to get it hot. When the can heats up the plates ever so slightly move emeffecting the shot. So while its hot and moved to where ever its going to move to the bullets will punch a straight hole eventually. Its not huge differences but still enough to effect your shot. If your trying to save money you can run the silencer on a ar15. It wot be silent but it wil heat up the silencer then carefully put it on the other rifle and ren a few more.

The reason your shots pulled right is the wind. You can hear the wind is much stronger then when you first shot.. Best thing you can do for coyote hunting is get rid of that bog death grip and get a better tripod. The bog death grip works. but the tripod moves way to much!!!

I wouldnt say that it being hot effects accuracy but the heat in the barrell etc and potentially deforming the round which would ld hurt the accuracy being that everything expands when hot. But i have shot 1500 rounds out if my Kimber hero custom thats heavily modified as well and my grouping never changed and the firearm never changed its performance but on the other hand sometimes it holds true to you get what you pay for. But my kimber eas valued at roughly 3k but performed good stock just i nodded it to fit my preferences. The powder might be to hot and pre detonate ir as i stated above buy being hot ive never had bad results. We train often and dont see negative problems from heat

A piece of sandpaper and 10 mins would have fixed that rifle chassis and saved you a couple thou. Free floating is about the easiest mod you can do. I also recommend bedding the new one.

I've learned that off the shelf bullets will vary some per box. Especially with a 22-250 . I've owned a howa ranch security 22-250 for a few years and I'm yet to find a extreme consistent brand for it.. I'm not a expert by any means but that is my experience with that caliber

I have an OG steyr pro hunter in 25-06. By far one of my favorite hunting rifles. Not a fan of the steyr scout.

That is more of a middle range riffle for hunting a red dot or scout rifle scope would be ideal to use with the rifle.

Hey.....u gotta use that with a scout rifle forward scope.....get some mounts n scope n redo...dont destroy it..........chuck a sling on it....go get some coyotes eh.

I had the same scope on a 300ultra mag doing the same thing switched to a night force nsx had no more issues I don’t think the leupolds hold a true zero very good

Put yhe time and mkney into it amd that's a dream gun for alot of folks dont drstroy it do it right scout scope and its a 6.5 which nakes it dope for a shorter ranger coyote gun for he side by side

Hey Rob, I’m looking at sights for my gun and still haven’t decided what to go with. Do you have any suggestions?

Garand Thumb did a Steyer Scout video already. It kind of sucks. Their AUG is sweet 😂

Gabe's got to be an Okie. Down and right first freaking shot!!

Years ago a good friend had a Steyr Scout in 308 and we all hated it so don't feel bad lol

Rob 👋🥰. Hey Gabe you big hunk! ❤

This is a great showcase of all the things you don't know.

Ahh counter strike fans will like this lol. As far as the scope not holding zero, could it be a tracking issue? If you adjusted it to shoot the longer distance, then adjusted it back. Just a guess.

Biggest problem with the 22-250 is the twist rate on the barrel, it doesn't allow for longer more aerodynamic bullets. A hot barrel will definitely change your groups a little.

It's always something

I bought a sig ar 10 308 rattler 1 16 twist wish I could come to your place to learn more about it hope I made a good purchase

I lifted the Steyr when buying my first rifle and i thought the gun was way too flimsy. I settled with a Remington 700

My guess is something with the scope,rings probably happened when riding in the sxs. I’d re torque them then send it again things loosen and move.

usually stick with a medium contour fluted barrel for my bolt guns.

being an employee at a pawn/gun shop my boss doesnt like the public filming the guns ESPECIALLY the local news or whatever. last time they were in the guy was just like "i just want to take a few shots of the guns and no one else will let me" so me and my co worker were like sure dude go for it. guy was in for like 10 minutes and just basically filmed b roll. but my bosses reasoning was that they tend to use footage on negative stories and then your business in turn gets demonized for no reason. i also think people have this idea that pawn shops sell guns on the "shady" side as opposed to any other ffl which is fair cause pawn shops are kind of looked at as predatory or shady places in general when in reality, we have an FFL, we turn our serial numbers, pictures, you name it over to the police department to review EVERY SINGLE DAY. ive helped so many people track down their stolen goods its insane. we actually help people get their shit back in certain cases but people just dont know that which is fair but yeah.

Will Googans rubbers keep me from paying child support

What about the new lake? Is if filling up with all this rain?

Put some Norma Black box match ammo through it. I run that for competition and for zeroing in all of my 6.5s you wont go wrong. Sure it's pricier but i bet those groups wont be like that. And i know you're a hell of a shot Rob :)

Something is moving around on that 22-250 that's the only reason it would do that I have a savage axis a it's still in the factory stock all I did was bed it and I can shoot 30 rounds without stoping the groups open up after about 6 shots but the zero doesn't move

the action has to seat itself into the new chassis. when i tighten down action screws i push the barrel into a wall. and i use rock set.

The bipod on that looks about as good as the grip pod bipod things they ran during the surge of GWOT

Rob, it's not the rifle's fault that you're using it for things it wasn't designed to do.

In the 90s STEYR ARMS partnered with legendary US Marine, rifle expert and shooting instructor Jeff Cooper to develop the MANNLICHER SCOUT. Jeff Cooper wanted the rifle to be shorter than one meter and lighter than 3 kg. Its optic had to be mounted as far forward as possible and it had to have iron sights. This was to ensure secure target acquisition up to 400 meters. In addition to this, the MANNLICHER SCOUT carried a spare magazine in its butt stock. 2023 marks the year STEYR ARMS presents the newly designed STEYR SCOUT II. Making perfect just a bit better. To achieve even better accuracy housing and bedding block are milled from one piece of aluminium. Instead of the Weaver-Rail the STEYR SCOUT II integrates a top Picatinny-Rail and a M-LOK mount at 6 o‘clock at the forend. You have the older version developed in the 90s the new version is better and has better accuracy and mounting for scopes back in the 90s that's the type of mounting they used

We are insanely short handed with police rn and it sucks. We had only 1 officer on duty for the last 7 hours in my county which is horrible. We need more officers in my department. It's way too much work only having a handful

.Great video's !!!!!
