The Steyr Arms pack takes brand partnership to the next level with the simultaneous reveal of the brand new Steyr-Gams in the real world and as an upcoming item in Way of the Hunter!

The upcoming Steyr Arms pack introduces 4 new hunting rifles to Way of the Hunter, including the Steyr-Gams – a newly announced high alpine hunting rifle available in Way of the Hunter exclusively before it is even sold in stores.

Featuring an optimised scout barrel and an integrated picatinny rail for precise optics mounting, as well as the innovative combination of carbon stock and state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, the Steyr-Gams is an ultra-light rifle of the highest quality and precision.

The Steyr Arms pack also adds the Steyr SSG M1 for precision and reliability, the Steyr Mannlicher CL II Fullstock for the biggest and most dangerous game, and the all-steel Steyr Monobloc ARMAD for ultimate ruggedness.

Coming soon!
