I'm sorry but this is one of the worst gun reviews I've ever read. Theres about a page of words that makes for a decent intro, and then the article is over. The author didnt even bother to mention the caliber of the rifles! I would think Steyr would be upset for sending someone a couple 4 figure rifles only to have him write what reads like a ''what I did on my summer vacation'' review of them. I could sit here and in 1 hour write a better review without even seeing the rifles and I'm not a writer! So how much time did he really spend on that piece? For those who claim current gun writers are not like they used to be, I can find no better example than this one.
