Ronin Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Interesting video of a small Tank Trap used for practice. https://gramho.com/media/2136506348984438766 Full Sized Tank Trap practice Pretty fluid from one element to the next https://gramho.com/media/2118420577504070484 Rifle by the way is a Sauer STR200 / SSG3000 in Vision Chassis, calibre 6.5x55 used by one of the top Skandi shots - bags are Ulfhednar (available through Optics Warehouse) Not a Creedmoor in sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 It’s a real shame the STR200 isn’t readily available here in the UK, along with the breadth of pre-chambered barrels etc as is available in the Scandi countries. I’ve long wanted one as the basis for building a slick running gun on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 They’re available as the SSG 3000 Sportsman and Macavoy sell them Barrels relatively easy to do with barrel extension (like Tubb and At 15 etc ) Im currently looking for one - had to back out of a second hand one on here at Christmas as had expensive repair on the pickup unexpectedly SSG 3000 / STR 200 in Vision Chassis or Jet-001 winning many comps over there This is what I’m planning to build for myself once components located Cannot source used action at moment which is a pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Yeah that’s sort of my point, unless you see a used SSG3000 at a good price, it’s not really feasible. Buying new is v expensive, especially if you want to then rebarrel it into something a bit more exotic than .308w and drop it into a chassis that’s better than the factory stock. Quickly becomes a £4-5k gun. Just a shame the actions aren’t as well marketed/promoted/available here as say the T3 is, which would make a very good, arguably better, rival to the T3s.

Ronin Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 If they were, “everyone “ would have them 😄 Regarding cost - many people have a custom rifle built - the cost being upwards of 4K minimum (on a custom action) and around 2k for a used but perfectly functional factory gun on a Tikka or Remington or Howa or ,,,,( enter name I’ve left out) I think the SSG / STR has a great deal going for it versatility to swap barrel in couple of minutes two stage trigger integral rail (SSG) versatile action to accommodate long and short calibre ,,,,, single stack five round mag designed especially for target shooting ,,,,, Three lug bolt - fast cycling etc etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enquired into having an STR200 importer here, along with a Vision chassis a while back. Unfortunately no one was willing to export from Scandi and the Vision was still in prototype phase and wasn’t being produced for commercial sale. Went a different route in the end. Still, shortly due to have an Impact 737r in a MPA Comp chassis arrive. 🥳 Good luck with project ‘Scandi Shooter’, sounds like a great future build.

Ronin Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Vision now in production and spoken with them over there - willing to get export paperwork and ship here Have a source for high quality barrel extension in Europe Just need suitable donor for a project build or buy new - still viable as a variety of stocks are available for a cull gun / working rifle. Most if not all of mine work for a living Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ds1 Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hi Andy, the bucket of cold water over it is that by the time it’s all sorted.......you have built a Tikka Tac AI for double the money. :)........ I’ll get mi coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 😃 Understand the reservations but this system is used extensively in Scandinavian countries for both PRS and their speed shooting comps which I can’t spell the name of but video below Mag changes not really an issue and there are several companies who make extensions to accommodate and extra round or two In the one PRL event and the first Precision Rifle event at Gardner’s I managed mag changes easily enough with the rifle I was using Tikka CTR (TAc A1) mags are 2.900 so no real benefit over aics - the Sauer mags accommodate 3.600” (I believe ) so lots of space to play with in the direction I’m looking toward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Andy must admit the 3k is or was used by URNA here along with AIs . Of the ones that I have shot I preferred the old wooden stock to the plastic Mc Millan stock. An Etac stock for it would be a sweet thing.
