The SSG 69 is the rifle that established Steyr as a precision manufacturer of international standing. Designed in 1969 as the Austrian Army's dedicated sniper rifle, the SSG 69 combined a Mannlicher-Schoenauer rotary magazine with a cold-hammer-forged barrel and a synthetic stock decades before such features became standard. The 26-inch barrel extracts maximum performance from .308 Win match ammunition. The SSG 69 remains in limited production and active service.
