Steyr Officially Introduces the Zephyr II Rimfire Rifle to the U.S. Market

BESSEMER, Ala. (Jan. 23, 2018) — Steyr Arms is kicking off the 2018 SHOT Show today with the launch of its new rimfire rifle, the Zephyr II. Taking many design and functional cues from the original Steyr Zephyr, which was produced from 1955 through 1971, the Zephyr II is certain to be a hit among shooters, both young and old.

The Zephyr II follows up the excellent build quality of its “big-bore sisters” and sets totally new standards in the hunting-style, bolt-action, rimfire rifle segment. The Zephyr II features a classic European walnut stock with a Bavarian cheek piece and fish-scale-pattern checkering on the grips and handguard, as well as the typical Steyr Mannlicher bolt handle and a tang safety.

Available in .17 HMR, .22 LR and .22 WMR, the Zephyr II has a cold-hammer-forged 19.7-inch barrel with an overall length of 39.2 inches. The rifle weighs 5.8 lbs., including a five-round detachable box magazine.

Franchi Introduces Momentum Bolt-Action Rifle

ACCOKEEK, MD – Long known as a maker of instinctive and feature-rich shotguns, Franchi brings its rich heritage of Italian craftsmanship and innovation to the bolt-action rifle market with the introduction of Momentum.

Debuting in six of the most popular bolt-action calibers (.243 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor, .270 Win. .308 Win., .30-06 Springfield, .300 Win. Mag.), the rifle is available in three configurations. For hunters who utilize supressors, the Momentum is available with a threaded, free-floating barrel, both by itself and as part of a rifle/optics combo. The rifle is also available with an unthreaded barrel.

The most visually distinct feature of the Momentum rifle is its revolutionary stock. The stock combines raised curves and crisp checkering at strategic places along the rifle, delivering the most ergonomic feel and positive hold in the five most commonly used shooting positions. Sling-attachment points are recessed on the Momentum’s stock, eliminating the need for intrusive swivel studs. At the butt, the Franchi’s popular TSA recoil pad absorbs 50 percent of the rifle’s felt recoil with integrated contours to offer more comfortable benchrest shooting positions. Read more
