Just be mindful of choosing any 100gn or 105gn rounds and make sure they will stabilise before buying a bigger batch. I did check the twist rate using a nylon bore brush and a tape flag on the cleaning rod my results showed a 1-in-10in twist. Starting from the front, the hammer-forged barrel sports the usual spiral twist that is synonymous with Steyr rifles. It’s hard to cover the Steyr’s barrel and action without leading into the safety and trigger that makes up the SBS system. This provides the best stability for holding an action inside a stock, it offers repeatable removal and re-insertion, and has a proven track record for significantly improving many rifles’ performances. The important feature that is not visible from the outside is the aluminium bedding. It really shines when rested on the front rails of a hunting box or high seat, and also takes a bipod really well – and in my case, the heavier SL5 moderator seemed to enhance the balance. The flat-bottomed forend sits nicely in the hand when standing, and is just as at home in the sticks. You will quickly come to appreciate the layout of a rifle that allows confident operation without the need of visual confirmation. The gentle palm swell suited my hands, the very natural trigger hand positioning gives solid hold with trigger, and the safety is intuitively placed.
Shouldering the rifle for the first time reveals just how pointable the CLII SX is. Lots of rifle manufacturers use this layout on their synthetic stocks, and it suits my kind of hunting and shooting very well – no bling, just quiet functionality. This is the first thing that grabbed my attention as I opened the case.
