If I had it to do over
I would still get a Steyr, but I would not get the 'Cooper package'.
The factory scope rings are fine if you can ever get the scope 'square', but the heads of the bolts clamping it are on the bottom of the rings.
This makes for a very compact but unhandy design.
When the factory-supplied Leupold on mine 'died', I got another one because they had upgraded that model from VX-II to -III (better coatings), and I put the new scope in aftermarket rings (at the moment, I don't recall which brand, but they were good ones).
I believe I'd go that route again, if I ever got another one.
