thanks for your time and congrats on an awesome rifle

 

Recoil is like a .243 Winchester with the very effective muzzle brake. Without the muzzle brake it will brake your shoulders....

thanks olli

and if any of you have pics that u snapped yourself, please post

 

Yep, I got one from CDNN's sale.

Here's a pic...

 

flyandscuba, are you a left hander?

 

Left handed rifle shooter -- right handed (but left eye dominant) pistol shooter. One of my AR-15s is even a lefty...love it!

 

what size scope wold you use on the hs-50?

 

what size scope wold you use on the hs-50?

 

12-42x56mm

 

thanks flyandscuba,

i'm pushing around the idea for the son's and i to each throw in $500 and purchase one of these hs-50 for a family fun machine.

hell , take her to the range,charge $ 10 for one shoot and a picture ...what a better way to meet people,
share the steyr experience and recap the cost of ammo! :wink:

 

You can plan on $1700-2000 for the appropriate optics for this rifle.

 

flyandscuba,

i guess leupold would be the scope most likely to considered?

on a weapon this top rate why go cheap?

 

Yes, or the Nightforce is a good option as well.

 

I use a Leupold Mk4 16x40mm LR/T MilDot on my HS50 - Very rugged with very few moving parts when compared to variable scopes.

 

thanks for the tip on the leupold scope.

unfortunately i doubt i'll beable to find a range in florida short of using the national guard training facility where the distances will require the need for a top shelf powered scope. mighty difficult to find extreme distances here in the southeast to reach full potential.

though th need for a well built scope will be a necessary though many have stated the recoil of this weapon is likened to a caliber .243.
