Overview
The Voere 2185 is an Austrian gas-operated semi-automatic hunting rifle produced by Voere of Kufstein, Tyrol. It uses a rotary bolt head with three forward locking lugs for a strong, safe lockup, and feeds from a detachable box magazine. Chambered in popular hunting cartridges including .30-06 Springfield, 7x64, .308 Winchester, 9.3x62 and magnum calibers, it pairs traditional checkered walnut Tyrolean stockwork with a modern self-loading action, and is offered with open sights and quick-detachable scope mounts.
