The ultimate precision weapon developed by professional hats for the highest demands. The numerous and useful features, such as the infinitely adjustable ground spur, adjustable lateral Picatinny rails (Mil. Std. 1913) for mounting tactical devices and the fixable Versa-Pod are just a few of the important helpers for the perfect precision shot. The Steyr SSG 08 is a high-precision, high-performance rifle that was designed to the specifications of Austria's EKO COBRA anti-terrorism unit, and was developed for professional applications in demanding environments. The free-floated, cold hammer forged barrel comes standard with an effective recoil-reducing muzzle break. The SSG 08 features a folding hard eloxal-coated aircraft aluminum stock with an adjustable rear monopod, cheekpiece and recoil pad. The pistol grip is configurable with a choice of interchangeable backstraps to adjust for hand size and optimized grip. The action is topped with a 20 MOA Picatinny rail, while the forend allows for short Picatinny rails on both sides. The underside of the stock also houses a UIT rail designed for accessories such as a handstops and bipod mounts. Like all Steyr bolt-action rifles, the SSG 08 is built on the renowned SBS action.
