There is a difference between older (without SBS) and newer Steyr rifles (with SBS) as regards radiuses on the receiver (where holes are drilled for mounting purposes). The safety catch has three positions: in the first position, the firearm is ready to fire and a red dot can be seen on the safety catch in the second position, the user can see a white dot on the safety catch – the trigger is locked but the bolt can still be operated (loading, unloading) in the third position, where a white stripe and a white dot can be seen on the safety catch, both the trigger and the bolt are locked. Instead, two opposing lugs are formed at the front of the bolt.
SBS is a concept that deviates from the established principle of locking lugs at the rear of the bolt.

It is important to know that SBS is not a rifle by itself, but an action (SBS stands for Safe Bolt System) which can be found in many different models of Steyr: Classic, CL II, SM 12, Pro Hunter, Pro Alaskan, Jagdmatch, Scout etc. The company's name was changed to Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG in 1987. The company's most active years were without a doubt during World War I when more than 4000 firearms were made daily by its 15.000 employees. This is when Werndl used the company's production capacity to manufacture all sorts of products along with firearms: dynamos, electric motors, light bulbs, bicycles, cars, trucks. In 1882, they faced a small crisis because of lack of large orders (they had supplied the European armies with breech-loading rifles – demand declined). It soon grew into a big company with great production capacity. Steyr Mannlicher, a renowned company that produces firearms, was founded in 1864 by Josef Werndl. Throughout the middle of the rail, there is a canal so that the rail can be used together with rifle's sights. Contessa's Picatinny rails, made in Italy, are available in both 0 MOA and 20 MOA versions. The screws have a huge contact surface and a bigger head than screws of other mount manufacturers, while the thread is the same. Contessa's Picatinny rails are made from steel and come with their unique screws which fit nicely into the rail. The tolerances of the produced pieces are very tight – there are no deviations, the mounts are very carefully machined. This is one of the main reasons why Picatinny is a far better mounting solution.Ĭontessa is an Italian company, famous for producing aesthetically appealing mounts with a nice finish. Weaver's slot is 3.8 mm wide, which is why ring mounts made for a Weaver rail will also fit on a Picatinny rail while ring mounts made specifically for a Picatinny rail will not fit on a Weaver rail. Weaver has a few predesignated slots while Picatinny has slots all over its surface, allowing the device to be mounted wherever the user finds it fitting.
Picatinny is a big step forward from the Weaver standard.
Because of all its great qualities, Picatinny rail has been dominating the rail market in the recent years. It is affordable, resilient and reliable – this is why it so commonly used by professionals and military. It is simple to mount and interchangeable – if something is made for a Picatinny rail, it will fit regardless of the manufacturer or manufacturing date. Picatinny rail consists of slots with 5.23 mm spaces between one another, which means that it can be used across its entire length.
