value of a Cooper Steyr Scout rifle in .376
Ok guys what is the real value of a Steyr-Cooper Scout rifle? I've been mulling about buying one for years and always seem to put it on the back burner. From some of the comments over the years I've wondered if they just become safe queens. What would be a reasonable purchase price. (Yeah I know...whatever you are willing to pay!!!). And I don't have a blue book in which to look. Thanks, Beach

Why not go for a 458 Steyr? Than you could realy "reach out and touch someone" [:D]. While you'd need to "make" your brass, the parent case is fairly easy to find.
458 Steyr in the middle, parent cartridge on the left, 416 Barrett on the right.
Edit, so as to not burn up more replies
Haven't fired one, in fact I've only seen one "real" round for it, as it's a experamental Euro sniper round/rifle. Considering the weight of the rifle for it, I suspect you'd only want to fire it from the prone, so I doubt it would push you more than 1/2 way to Canada in that position. [:D]0 -
Todesengel....Thank you for the info.
Bob......I think that .458 would kick me all the way into Canada. But I'll bet you have fired one.[:0]. I think my limit is the .376 as I get older. Beach0 -
As for ease and age I opted for the 375H&H on a M70 Winchester so that I wouldn't have issues with ammo in the future. The future for many of these almost custom cartridges is often in doubt when looking ten years or so out. The H&H cartridge has been the standard and is likely to remain so for the next decade or six..... 0
