Steyr Arms GAMS rifles for mountain hunting
No surprise if mountain hunting also affects the Austrian company Steyr Arms. They just released the GAMS, a lightweight and versatile bolt-action rifle built around a light carbon fiber stock
Freshly announced for late 2023, the Steyr Arms GAMS bolt-action rifle is the latest entry in the vast, and ever-expanding, market for specialized alpine hunting rifles. Built around a FBT - Fine Ballistic Tools carbon fiber stock, with a Thumbhole-style stock and an adjustable cheek riser, the Steyr GAMS rifle is available in two calibers – .223 Remington and 6.5 Creedmoor – and weighs in at barely 2,4 kilograms (5.29 lbs) or 2,5 kilograms (5.5 lbs) when empty, depending on the caliber.
