The Steyr Mannlicher Luxus, introduced shortly after the M72 in 1972, is a bolt-action rifle produced by the famous Austrian manufacturer. Available in three action lengths—Luxus L, Luxus M, and Luxus S—each designed for different caliber groups, this series features a steel receiver with six locking lugs and is drilled and tapped for scope mounts. The Luxus rifles offer a smooth 9 mm wide adjustable trigger, a two-position safety on the action tang, and a detachable straight-line box magazine, with options for full or half-stock versions featuring different barrel lengths. Discontinued in 1996 and briefly relaunched before ceasing production in 2020, the Luxus remains a popular model in Steyr’s lineup.
