John it's a straight pull. This is the 2nd that I've owned. Both were/are higher end sporters. They're quite a nice little carry rifle. If the ammo wasn't so difficult, I think it would make a nice medium game rifle.

I bought a bag of 8x50R new brass years ago. I hope its the right brass for my rifle. I bought it specutively as it was available at the time.,

I bought my rifle by "mistake". I wanted the Dutch Steyr in 6.5x53R. But was told it was gone. So decided on the straight pull Steyr 8mm. Then a day later on thecway to the Top End, the same gun shop told me, the 6,5 buyer fell through. So bought that as well. Bertram sold me 6.5x53R brass.

My 8x50R is an M1895 as well.

Btw I'm always surprised to see target shooting in the snow. Today we had 41 deg C.
