I have been thinking about putting together a long range rig in .308 for some time.
Today I came across an SSG for abour $1200US, with almost no useage.

I don't like the stock on it, but McMillan have replacements on the shelf inletted and finished, so that wouldn't be a great problem.

Could I go wrong with what is considered to be one of the most accurate out of the box tactical rifles around?

Back in the 80's I had a double set trigger model w/green stock and iron sights. It was amazingly accurate and I regret ever parting with it. If you want a long range .308, the SSG is an excellent way to go. I'm sure you won't regret it.

Good Shooting,
Ben H

Most SSG's shoot very good. Mine shot 168 and 180gr bullets very well.
With the rear locking lugs they can be hard on brass if loaded hot. [case stretch]
