jay222 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I've shot an ssg p2 and it was really accurate and nice to shoot, that was in .243 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Just buy a tikka T3 varmint and have some fun. I own a .308 and it is cracking value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsc1960 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 i had one in 308 and it was as heavy as a train with 8 carriages on it, sad to say i think its not worth £1000 second hand be it 308/243/22,250, there are better rifles out there and for a lot less.

dorg Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Ssg p2 are a cracking rifle if you like the stock, nearly as bad a plastic tikka stock, if you buy 2nd hand make sure it comes with mounts and is screwcut as both of these are not cheap on this rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRD Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Had one in 308 big and heavy, to be truthful not that impressed the stock and balance were awful. Got a .243 Sauer 202 Select for £900 if you're interested pm me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I had a 22.250, previous model to SSG, one of these, http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Steyr+mannlicher+22.250&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&imgil=_ZWeugFrImZBIM%253A%253Bhttp%253A%252F% Top row, 3rd from left. It fed lovely but had a very long throat, with factory ammo it resembled a shotgun, reloading from memory 20 thou further out got it down to about a couple of inches. I have heard that others in the same caliber had the same issue, it was a great killer though, last thing I shot with it was a crow, 100 yards head down facing toward me. The 55gr NBT split it in half just about. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A A,the lethality is of course down to the cartridge/bullet-a 2moa rifle is more a scare crow device,with occasional random lapses! :-)Gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Just buy a tikka T3 varmint and have some fun. I own a .308 and it is cracking value for money. +1 on the Tikka. I have a T3 in .223 Rem and it's very nice to shoot, and not that heavy to carry. Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longbow3 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I have a SSG in 243 I have been using it for 15 years. I wish I had kept a count of all the foxes it has killed for me-what a tool its fair to say it is a heavy rifle, maybe not an old mans gun lol it is very accurate, solid and has a very smooth bolt. I used to put 3 bullets through the same hole with the original barrel it was re-barrelled by PRS with a new Krieger barrel and is still shooting like a dream. it cost me £1200 for the new barrel It is my favourite foxing rifle carried in the vehicle I know other users of the SSG and they are still using them. Sportsman gun centre still sells them and they never seem to have them on offer, they are obviously too popular to be offered cheap Before getting the new barrel I contemplated replacing it, but I couldn't find anything that would be as accurate without spending a lot more money long live the SSG I am currently working on loads for this years SGA competition at Glen Tilt using the sierra 70 grns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
