Cabela's in La Vista was clearing them out and I managed to get a 20" 308 Win. for a little over $500 with taxes. My friend, the one that borrowed my 260 Rem., really liked it. Told him about the clearance sale and he picked up the last one on '06. I got there around noon when they had 3 of them and an hour and a half later they where sold out.

Well, I am thinking I should stick to basics with the Pro Hunter and roll with the 30-06 or 308. Curious to know what bullets have worked well for you out of the Pro Hunter in 30 cal? Thoughts on the 20" vs 23.6" barrel length?

This decision is harder than I thought... leaning now towards the 7mm08 in 20" barrel configuration.
Current bolt rifle stable consists of 6mm Remington (22"), 280 Remington (24") and 300RSAUM (22").
The 300 covers bullet weights over 150
the 280 covers the 140 to 175 middle.
the 6 covers 100 and below.
the bullet weight gap is 100 to 140 which a 6.5 would cover nicely...
and here i am looking at a 7mm08... sheesh

According to the folks that import Steyt,the Mannox finish is a very hard layer that is similar to tenifer,the finish used by Glock. They would not tell me exactly what it is,but I'd bet it is a nitride base coat with a ceramopolymer surface layer.
I can tell you it won't rust,and it won't wear off in anything short of a sandblaster.

Resurrecting an old thread... for those who have owned/shot both, how does the Steyr Pro Hunter compare to a Sauer 100 Classic or 100 Classic XT?

They short action is actually intermediate.
The 376 steyr 375x60 fits the same action as the 308 class.
