From a production standpoint, this makes sense as it reduces the amount of more expensive detailed machining required on the action body itself. Instead of having an integral machined or separate washer-type recoil lug, the CLII SX has one that’s a separate piece that’s bolted onto the bottom front of the action. The other is that in the locked bolt position, you can press the bolt handle an additional half inch toward the stock to lock both the trigger and firing pin. One is that if you lift the bolt handle before putting the safety in the locked bolt position, it frees the bolt for removal from the rear of the action. There are also a couple of additional clever design features built into the safety. With it, you can put the rifle on “fire” or “safe” with the bolt unlocked for chambering/unchambering a round, or “safe” with the bolt locked. The action is Steyr’s Safe Bolt System (SBS) that has a trigger-locking safety with three settings operated by a wheel switch on the tang. Steyr’s SBS action is a lot smoother than many rifles on the market in its class making it easier to get a second shot off if needed.Īside from the stock, the CLII SX is pretty much the same as the Pro Hunter with satisfied owners posting favorable comments about the CLII such as, “ou'd have a hard time building a custom Remington to this level for this kind of money.” It sports an internal aluminum bedding system for increased accuracy and rigidity and, perhaps in deference to grievances about the Pro Hunter’s forend, Steyr’s Austrian website notes the CLII SX is “optimized for use with bipod.” The CLII SX dispenses with the Pro Hunter’s futuristic-looking adjustable stock in favor of a more classic fixed synthetic one with a 14-inch length of pull, rubberized panels in the gripping areas, a slight palm swell for right-hand shooting and a generous integral trigger guard. Many hunters also reported that the forend seemed a little flimsy, especially when shooting off of sticks or a bipod, and that the absence of checkering or any significant texturing made it “slick” to hold, particularly with gloves on. Its layered spacers clearly provide the ability to easily change the length of pull and, from a functional standpoint, the horizontal stock toe makes sense, but aesthetically neither really appealed to me. I’ve always liked the Pro Hunter’s action, but was never a big fan of the stock.

“There is nothing wrong with the Pro Hunter,” he adds, “ just needs a face lift.” I agree, and that’s really what the CLII SX is - a Pro Hunter with a facelift, making it the kind of hunting rifle I feel it always promised to be. “he Pro Hunter is an older line of rifles and needed to be upgraded,” explains Steyr’s National Sales Manager, Eric Wood.

After a 20-year run, Steyr is phasing out its Pro Hunter rifle and replacing it with the CLII SX.
