| M95 Long Rifle
Just picked up a Steyr M95 Long Rifle. Interested to see the recoil difference from the short. Hope to clean up this weekend and will post some pics. Anybody else out there shooting the long version? |

The little carbines are rare as frog's hair down here, and I have never seen the long rifle 'in the metal'. Recoil should be less, with longer barrel and greater weight. But I bet she'll still let you know she's been shot!

| I don't have the long service rife. I have a Steyr 95 "Stutzen" carbine; essentially an M95 that was shortened before World War II and used by German and Austrian support troops. I've got about 120 rounds of Nazi marked 8x56mm in Steyr en-bloc chargers as well but I haven't shot it yet. I need to get a bayonet and proper sling.

I'd really like to get a long version. They've gotta be real tack drivers!
