I've got 3 different size scopes on mine. 1" zeiss on my original 30-06, a 30 mm vortex on one of the 300's and a 34mm arken on the other oneIMHO the " fat " look of the action mandates a 30mm scope tube. My 3.5-10x is a 1 inch. 30mm vx3HD 3.5-10x firedot would look better on it.
Same boat. Now that I have a .308 win, the .30-06 seems redundant.The PH's are quirky rifles but I like them. I had a .30-06 and a .308 as well at one time before trimming down to the .25-06.
My .25-06 was the last one I bought. Steyr's chambered in .25-06 are hard to find, the one I picked up was only the second I saw in several months of looking.Yup, shoulda just got a .25-06 like you did LOL
This is the only one I have. Probably not what you had in mind though.

I used to have an M95 carbine but I wound up selling it. For some reason, Lee said they couldn't make a trim die for 8x56R, which made no sense to me, since they made a full length sizing die for it.I have your rifle's Hungarian cousin. It was built in 1915 and cut down into a Carbine in the late 1930s.
The straight pull bolt is really smooth and fun the shoot.
I bought several hundred rounds of Nazi marked 8x56r ammo for it about 10 years ago.
You are right. My bad. I thought I saw a full length Steyr M95. I should have known better by the date.I used to have an M95 carbine but I wound up selling it.

Just to be clear, the rifle in my pics is a GEW 88 (7.92x57).
I saw this and thought of you.Achtung, baby!
