The Steyr SSG 08 is the current-generation Austrian police and military sniper rifle with a folding chassis stock, adjustable cheekpiece and length-of-pull, and a 23.6-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel. The SSG 08 updates the SSG 04 with a fully adjustable folding chassis that reduces packed length to 27.5 inches — making it the most portable precision sniper rifle in Austrian military service. The high-grip pistol grip and adjustable stock improve ergonomic consistency across different-sized operators.
