When I saw the price £450 I wondered what sort of condition it would be in for that kind of money. SSG rifles usually go for good money and quite often they have a quality Khales scope fitted as standard.
My freinds wooden stocked model cost him quite a bit more than £450 its in pristine condition and shoots really well.
He is a registered fire arms dealer may be he will sell you it for the right price.LOL.

That said, having met some of their relatives I'm surprised some aren't giving them away free....

KeV, when did you see the wood stocked version in GT?
didnt read the last posts though.
what a shame its been got at, but it does explain the price, did you day a TRG22 "I will taunt you some more" (in an outrageous fronsh acccceentt)
KWG in Handcross has a minter not even fired 100rds for £1600 needless to say it was there for a matter of hours

Re: SSG 69
Yeah it's a reasonable price but I've seen better offers around. I was really interested in the TRG but I was told it had an issue with the trigger and might need a new one as it's a grey import gmk won't touch it.
Re: SSG 69
My advice would be to look out for a fairly priced SSG with a Khales scope on top.
I paid very reasonable money for mine all though it was a few years ago but I would not part with it.
I could point it at the target close my eyes and pull the trigger and be shocked if it was not in the ten ring.
Seriously though they are a very accurate rifle I love mine to bits.(Dont tell the wife I said that)
Get one.

Re: SSG 69
Utter excrement! If I were GT Shooting I'd be highly pee'd off at grossly untrue comments like this. Your post is an object lesson in doing one's own homework before believing anything on the internet.Dannywayoflife wrote:Just been and viewed the ssg at GT and it's been wrecked. Some idiot has b****** a rail on the top. Proper amateur job the trigger guard is cracked and the stock is worse for wear. The mags look worse for wear too. Real pitty. Gutted as I really like the ssg now. But I want one with the wood stock and there rare to say the least.;(
The stock is not 'worse for wear'. There are no chips, cracks, dents or anything of that ilk. It actualy has quite a nice grain figuring to it.
The mags are fine. A couple of them need a clean but they work as they are supposed to. The third has had the proper type of plastic block installed which acts like a mag cut-off so the rifle can be used as a single shot. This mag has had a couple of metal pins installed where the plastic tabs have come adrift from the clear platstic back-plate, presumably because it has been taken apart to have the block installed. This is an easy fix with a new back-plate. The mags are actually quite rare as they are marked '7.62x51', and not the more common '.308 Win', as is the rifle.
Yes, there is a slight crack where the forward stock screw goes through the plastic in front of the trigger guard but that is not uncommon to the SSG-69.
The rail is factory original and is not some after-market rubbish which has been badly installed by a numpty kitchen-table gunsmith. The same is true of the fore-sight block. Anyone who knows these rifles will realise immediatly that it does not have the usual mounting rails for the Steyr rings machined into the receiver which should tell them something.
This rifle is actually the rare 'Match' model which was produced in limited numbers for military competitions. They came with a factory guarantee to shoot 10 shot groups of 2.75" at 300m (330yds).
I bet GT Shooting's phones go mental tomorrow morning. Be sure to point out what's been said about their stock!
