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.
