*SOLD* Steyr Mannlicher SSG-69 PII .308 Park *INCREDIBLE AUSTRIAN PRODUCED RIFLE*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

Back in the mid-1960s, when sniping once again came to the forefront of military leaders, the Austrian Army decided it needed to prepare their own snipers and properly equip them. The search for a proper weapon system was begun at that time, and in 1969, Austrian-based Steyr began building the new rifle, which was paired with a Kahles ZF69 fixed 6x scope, Kahles also being an Austrian-based company. The SSG-69, as it was designated, became the standard sniper rifle of the Austrian armed forces. The SSG-69 was also available on the civilian market, where it is also commonly known as the PI (Roman numeral one), and it quickly became known as a very accurate rifle, even winning several prominent international competitions. Later a second version, the PII, was developed that included a heavier barrel without any iron sites and it was tailored toward the law enforcement community. A short version, known as the PIV, was also created and was designed for urban-style operations and was set up to accept a suppressor.
