Now, that is some rifle ! For sure.

Torf, The Steyr Mannlicher SSG 69 rifles - all models - have been sold all over the world from 1969 till 2015 and many are still in use today, including war zones. I think that they have always been scarce and the people who own them really cling to them in a peculiar way. From what I can see...

Your SSG 69 P2 has iron sights (the hood does not seem to be directly over the front sight), like an SSG 69 P1. Unusual. I own one SSG P2 rifle, with the iron sights too, that I bought in 2010 from Steyr Arms, Trussville, Alabama, via a Canadian importer. The trigger guard/magwell on your rifle...

And a BIG thank you for your Post # 9 above and your pics too !

Torf, Yes, I always tought that the Remington 788 was quite similar to the Steyr Mannlicher SSG 69 with its rear locking lugs and its extremely short locktime. And the Remington 788 rifle, even with its recoil lug clamped between the barrel and the receiver, is remarkably accurate for a...

Torf, "In the 70'ies the SSG 69 Sniper/Sport with open sights, milled receiver and "7.62 NATO battle chamber" was tested at the factory (action in a machine rest) and the first 10 shots fired had to produce a group within 10cm at 300m to be approved for sale. The SSG 69 Match, with a 308 match...

Anything Steyr Mannlicher SSG 69 related is always very interesting for me. Anything. I will never know enough about those very accurate factory - non custom, that is - rifles. I own two of those rifles (P1 and P2) and I always wonder how come nobody has tried to build similar rifles using the...

Miller Tyme, A very nice Steyr Mannlicher SSG 69 P1 rifle with a black stock. And with the Kahles ZF84 scope on top of it too. Congratulations !

Forerunner, PM sent.

Correct. But, regarding the rather fragile SSG 69 Mag Well/Triggerguards, help is now available. Just ask Dr. Strangelove_207 here.

Yesss ... this is going to be a "great pice of kit" and a very worth while investment for the Steyr Mannlicher SSG 69 lovers - like me. And, yesss .. three (3) cheers for Tom and his mates for taking on this project !

Hmm. Fascinating .... Fascinating !

Still following any developments closely - very closely !

Oh my !!! I am furiously and seriously interested too ! PM sent.

This ! It cannot be said any better !

May I ask you what is, in your opinion, the number behind the expression "several years ago" ? Two, four, five, six, whatever ? Where would be the "dividing line", if I may say so ? TIA

Blackbrush, I am not talking about an integral Picatinny rail on Steyr Mannlicher SSG 69 rifles. No, I am talking about the scope mounting rails that are machined on the receiver (PI and PII rifles). If you have your rifle close by, just look carefully at the inclination of those rails : They...

Well, yes, you have a tracking number, as you say. But then, Jeff himself at CDI Precision just wrote that he could make a rail for the SSG 69 rifles. Maybe he already knows very well about the integral 20 MOA rails of those rifle and then, maybe not. So, you will also have to steer Jeff...

Maybe, some of you would be interested to know that Steyr Mannlicher SSG 69 rifles usually have integral 20 MOA rails on the receiver. Here is a copy of an email sent to me on February 14 2011 by Mr Oliver Bauer. "Dear Sir, Thank you for your email and for being a STEYR MANNLICHER...

map_it, You beat me to it by 45 minutes ! Yes, I hope that they bring back the ERGO on the MR-10 1.8-10X and that they also bring back the 44mm Objective lens on that very same model. Better yet, bring back the ERGO on all MR an LR models. And the idea of a shorter and lighter LR-17...
