Re: ssg input please
In 1985, I met the SSG for the first time. A friend of mine showed me that big long rifle with a green plastic stock (!) standing in the corner of his office. I wasn't impressed at all. Weird looking rifle - I thought.
A few days later, we went to the range - military range. At 600 hundred yards, the "Mean Green Gun" was flexing its muscles : 6" group (five bullets). No sighters, no bench, no sandbags, no sling, improvised prone position from a small berm. No, I wasn't the shooter and yes, I was impressed !
The scope was a fixed power Austrian or German scope (don't remember exactly) and the ammo was US Military Match ammo - I was told.
And this, from a factory rifle with no bedding that I can think of and with a rather flexible stock, weighing in at only 8½ pounds without scope. It had to be seen to be believed.
The SSG ? Nothing quite like it. Not the most rugged rifle out there (trigger guard/mag well issues) but hellishly precise.
