Do your rifles have the tall front sights? If so, they were issued to the police. I discovered the hard way that you need to flip the sight up and set on the lowest setting for 100yds. It's originally set for 300 but the tall sight takes care of the difference. Make sure the bolt is fully locked in. Let us know how they shoot.

FYI, I shot both yesterday. I don't aim the 1st shot, I just put it in the bench rest and shoot with my face away from the bolt on the fist shot of all milsurp guns (just a peace of mind thing for me).
Anyway, at 100yds, I was shooting at a 6" Dirty Bird target and by gosh, I was 4 out of 4 on each rifle. You are right that they kick like a sumbeeotch! I didn't wear a recoil pad so I felt it. I snapped a picture of the target so I'll post it up as soon as I pull it off the camera. My only complaint is that the action is very difficult to work and it has trouble picking up the last round from the clip.
I got vid clips of my 9yr old shooting them too. For some reason, he thought the Steyr kicked much harder than the Hungarian version. He shot 3 rounds out of the Hungarian M95 and only 1 from the Steyr.
