Steyr Classic

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.

Twilight 2000 Notes: This rifle does not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Steyr Model 1969

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.

Steyr Model 72

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.
