Notes: This bolt-action hunting rifle was designed to replace the Model 1969 series, and arrived on the market in 1997. The Classic uses the Safe Bolt System (SBS) which makes the weapon much more safe, both from a firing standpoint (the bolt system is much stronger and capable of withstanding much more pressure), and from a general safety standpoint (the weapon can be placed into three levels of increasing safety and includes a chamber-loaded indicator). The Classic Standard version has no iron sights, but is drilled and tapped for a scope mount. It has a standard "half-stock" design, where the fore-end extends halfway or less down the length of the barrel. The Classic Goiserer (Mountain) version is virtually identical, but comes in a different mix of chamberings (the same as the Stutzen) and has iron sights as well as drilling and tapping. The Stutzen has a Mannlicher-type full-length fore-end, but is otherwise similar to the Goiserer except for the weight. All three use a deep pistol-grip wrist stock. All have a detachable magazine of three or four rounds, depending upon the chambering. Barrels range from 20 inches for a Goiserer or Stutzen to 25.625 inches for a Magnum-chambered Standard. If the Classic has a weakness, it is what is also one of its strengths: its light weight, especially considering some of the powerful cartridges it fires.

Notes: This is a collection of several related match and hunting rifles built by Steyr. Rifles in this series range from the Match-UIT, used for European and Olympic shooting matches, to the Model S/T, firing heavy Magnum cartridges. They share a basic design, including a bolt under compressive stress and 6 locking lugs, and a vastly-improved Mannlicher-Shoenauer action. They are all drilled and tapped for a scope, except the Match-UIT.

The Match-UIT was first built in 1984. It fires either .243 Winchester or 7.62mm NATO only, and is specifically a match rifle not meant for ordinary hunting or sporting purposes. The Match-UIT features a heavy, floating barrel; the fore-end of the stock is in fact cut away from the barrel to ensure the free-floating quality and cut down on microtremors from the shooters supporting hand. The bolt handle has a larger-than-normal knob, and the top of the barrel has a woven anti-mirage band to cut down on haze between the front and rear sight. The rear sight is an aperture optical sight, and the front sight is of the tube-type.

The Model L (Light), Is a short-action rifle first built in 1969. It is designed for small calibers, and has an unusually-heavy barrel for what is essentially a varmint rifle.

The Model M (Medium) is basically a larger version of the Model L. It also adds a rubber recoil pad to the butt. A minor variant of this rifle is the Model M Professional; this version has a synthetic stock.

The Model S (Standard) was first built in 1970; it was the first of the larger-caliber models of the Model 1969. It was designed specifically for high-pressure and Magnum cartridges, and has a strengthened receiver to withstand these rounds. The Model S has a Monte Carlo comb and a rubber recoil pad on the butt.

The Model SL (Super Light) is the smallest of the Model 1969 rifle series, firing small caliber and small-caliber Magnum cartridges. It has the shortest action of the series, and normally is equipped with a set trigger (though a single trigger could be requested by the buyer).

The Model S/T (Standard/Tropical) was first offered in 1974, and is the "elephant gun" version of the Model 1969 series. It is offered only in one of three large-caliber chamberings. It has a much longer barrel and a larger magazine than its brethren, but is designed to be relatively lighter than the rest of the series.

Notes: This may be regarded as an improved version of the Model 1969. It was only produced for a short time (1972-1977) and is therefore relatively rare compared to the Model 1969. It was meant to be a "dummy-proof" rifle, after some people experienced bolt failures and sometimes chamber explosions after not locking the bolt of the Model 1969 securely before firing. The barrel was also greatly lengthened, to improve accuracy and reduce muzzle flash.

The differing types of the Model 72 generally follow the lines of the Model 1969: The Model 72L variant, firing small and medium-caliber cartridges; the Model 72M, heavier versions of the Model 72L, but otherwise firing the same ammunition; The Model 72S, firing Magnum ammunition and other heavy cartridges; and the Model 72S/T, firing exclusively Magnum cartridges except for the 9.3mm Brenneke variant.

Notes: The Model 96 SBS (Safe Bolt System) represents a change in Steyr sporting rifle design from the tried and true system started with the Model 1969. The biggest change is in the bolt, with a forward-lug design that makes firing with the bolt incompletely locked impossible. It also allows the use of higher-pressure cartridges and wildcat rounds by making the bolt and chamber able to withstand more stress. The trigger cannot move when the bolt is unlocked, and the rifle has the additional feature of a firing pin safety. This is a rifle that is practically "idiot-proof." A variant of the weapon is the short-barreled Model 96 SBS Stutzen. Further development led to the Steyr Scout Rifle and the Steyr-Mannlicher Jagd Match (see below).

Notes: Introduced in 1997, the Pro Hunter has, like most of Steyr-Mannlicer’s never offerings, the Safe Bolt System (SBS) which allows for the maximum in safety as well as the ability to handle a wide array of cartridges, including hotloads and wildcat ammunition. The stock is of impact resistant plastic and the butt has a rubber plate which is equipped with spacers to lengthen or shorten the stock to suit individual shooters’ stature. There are two basic forms of the Pro Classic; the Pro Hunter Stainless, with stainless steel metalwork and no iron sights, and the Pro-Hunter Mountain, which has blued metalwork and iron sights. Both may be equipped with an HC-Kit (High-Capacity) which allows the use of a 10-round magazine; standard magazine capacity is 5 rounds. Both are drilled and tapped for a scope mount. The Pro Hunter Mountain uses a short 20-inch barrel, while the Pro Hunter Stainless uses a longer 23.625-inch barrel.

Notes: This light, versatile bolt-action carbine is, in the words of the designers, "suitable for nearly everything from rabbits to lions." The stock, furniture, and bipod are made of Zytel synthetic stock. There is a compartment for a spare magazine in the bottom of the stock, which is light gray in color. The stock is adjustable in length, with spacers for the stock located in the lower stock, along with spacers for the bolt-carrier group (which is also adjustable). The Steyr Scout Rifle, unlike most Sporting Rifles, comes with scope (Leupold 3x).

Twilight 2000 Notes: This weapon exists only in tiny numbers.

Notes: This is basically a civilianized version of the Steyr SSG series of sniper rifles. Instead of polymer/composite construction, the stock of the Jagd Match is made of very beautifully-finished hardwood. The finish of the metal parts is deep blued. It has a swelled stock instead of an adjustable cheekpiece. The retaining rings for the barrel are heat-shrunk to the barrel, making their fitting very firm. The barrel is heavy and cold-forged, contributing to accuracy. The Jagd Match comes with rings for a scope.
