    Steyr SSG 69... Provenance? Information? Advice?

    I own a SSG 69 in 308. I have found the weak part of this rifle to be the factory tupperware stock. I replaced it with a McMillan and have been very happy with the result. It is an extremely accurate out of the box shooting rifle. The plastic rotary magazines can be a little touchy sometimes...

    Best low price AR-15 trigger?

    Bill Springfield does excellent trigger jobs. But if you want to do it yourself, I have a JARD in my AR. It might run slightly more than your stated $100 budget, but you will be happy with it. Naturally any Geiselle would work, but it will set you back a whole lot more money.

    .22LR lever action recommendations

    I have owned and shot a Winchester 9422 in 22 magnum. Great rifle with outstanding accuracy. I sold it to a friend who had a coyote problem. I have a freind who owns a Henry in 22 LR and he is very satisfied with the rifle. I think you would be happy with either of these two brands of lever actions.

    Ruger BX-25 magazines

    Just a friendly heads up to fellow HIDE members. Sturm Ruger at shopruger.com had Ruger BX-25 magazins in stock at $31.95 each on Friday Feb.8, with a limit of five per each order. The shipping for five mags is $16.00. So for $175.75 I was able to pick up FIVE NIW Ruger BX-25 magazines. With the...

    Steyr SSG 69 opinions.

    Re: Steyr SSG 69 opinions. I replaced the tupperware stock with a McMillan and am a happy camper with that modification. I had a 5 round mag fall apart in my hand and there was no way to fix it. The 10 round mags are better madesd biffj stated. If you chose to use Steyr rings, they are very...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Browning HI power

    Re: Browning HI power I will also endorse the Argentine magazines, in either the 15 or 17 round versions. Yes indeed, they are knuckle busters to load. They function just fine once you get past that part and should last the life time of an average recreational shooter. You can pick them up...

    Any Interest in Steyr SSG 69 Aluminum Trig. Guard

    Re: Any Interest in Steyr SSG 69 Aluminum Trig. Guard I swapped out my SSG-69 into a McMillan stock and love it. I have been patiently waiting on the alleged Styria replacement for a few years now. I would be interested in either product, but especially one that uses different magazines than...

    Rifle Scopes Best hunting scope under $1200.00

    Re: Best hunting scope under $1200.00 Kahles 3x12x56 Great light gathering ability at dusk and dawn. The only drawback is the height of the scope, you will most likely have to use tall rings. If you can live with that, check it out.

    Rifle Scopes New Leupold 3-9x40 VX-R Patrol

    Re: New Leupold 3-9x40 VX-R Patrol I bought one from the group buy and am pleased with it. It is mounted on a Stormwerkz picatinny rail that sits on my longer barrel FN-FNC. Just the right range of magnification for that rifle and caliber. For the price, it was money well spent. Thanks to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Dan Wesson .357 Magnum

    Re: Dan Wesson .357 Magnum I own an older Dan Wesson(15-2?) 357 pistol pack, which features the 2,4,6 and 8 inch vent rib barrels. It is one 357 revolver that I have kept for over 25+ years. I can't help you with the old versus new barrel exchange question. I will say that I enjoy the...

    Lightweight deer rifle

    Re: Lightweight deer rifle Heckler and Koch model 770 in 308. I used one for a few years in Wisconsin and it was a great deer rifle. Put a H&K 05 scope mount on top and the scope of your choice. I used a Leupold Vari X III 2.5x 8. You can easily reach out to 250 -300 yards with it and it will...

    Re: Glock Aftermarket Barrel I have a Bar Sto barrel in my Glock. No problems with it handling many different types of ammo. Everything from practice ammo to JHPs. It has many thousand of rounds through it and I considered it money well spent.

    Steyr Mod SS6.69

    Re: Steyr Mod SS6.69 You can get a rail mount from Pete Athens that will enable you to use regular 30mm rings of your choice. The Steyr 30mm rings are expensive, even used. As for the mags, I am not sure but ask Pete and he could help you out with that question. I replaced the tupperware...
