Tungsten Alloy Military and Steyr SSG 69 PI Sniper Rifle

Tungsten Alloy Military and Steyr SSG 69 PI Sniper Rifle. 

The SSG 69 (Scharfschützengewehr 69) is a bolt-action sniper rifle produced by Steyr Mannlicher and serves as the standard 

sniper rifle for the Austrian Army. In India the rifle is used by the BSF(Border Security Force) Paramilitary force. Adopted in 1969 (hence the designation), it was ahead of its time with the

use of synthetics and cold-hammer forged barrels for accuracy. SSG-69 is the Austrian Army's standard issue sniper rifle, the PI is the civilian version of the same weapon. The SSG-69 is also

used by several police agencies. The SSG is extremely accurate and several international competitions have been won using an SSG-69 with accuracy being sub .5 MOA.

There are several variants made with mostly cosmetic differences, the only anomaly being the SSG-PIV using a 409 mm barrel with a 1:250 mm (1:10 inches) twist designed to handle heavy subsonic ammunition.
