Description

The Steyr Zephyr II is the definitive “all-purpose” rimfire rifle. While many modern rifles omit iron sights, this variant retains factory-fitted open sights (adjustable rear notch and front post), providing an immediate sighting solution out of the box. This makes the 70.051.1B2 ideal for shooters who prefer the challenge of iron sights or need a rugged backup to their primary optics.

The rifle features Steyr’s signature cold-hammer-forged barrel with visible spiral forging marks, protected by a plasma-nitrided Mannox® finish. Despite having iron sights, the muzzle is factory-threaded (typically 1/2″-20 UNF for the European/International market) and capped with a flush-fitting protector, making it “suppressor ready.” The European Walnut stock is finished with an elegant Bavarian cheek piece and laser-cut fish-scale checkering, offering a sophisticated feel and superior grip. With its crisp two-stage direct trigger and iconic butterknife bolt handle, this model represents the ultimate blend of 1950s charm and 21st-century precision.
