Some rifles chase the long range crowd. The Steyr SSG 08 was built for the people who do it professionally. Developed to the specifications of Austria's EKO Cobra counterterrorism unit, this .338 Lapua Magnum version pairs a 27.2 inch cold hammer forged heavy barrel with Steyr's Safe Bolt System, an action famous for surviving overpressure loads and barrel obstructions that would wreck lesser rifles. The bolt locks up with six forward lugs right behind the case head, and the caliber keeps supersonic legs well past 1,500 meters when you feed it quality match ammo.
The folding stock is machined from aircraft grade aluminum with a hard Eloxal coating, and nearly everything on it moves. The cheek piece adjusts vertically and horizontally, the recoil pad slides up and down and spaces out for length of pull, and a rear monopod lets you settle in and stay on target during long sessions behind the glass. Fold the stock and the whole package shrinks to a far more packable size, and the bolt can even be rotated and stowed under the folded stock so it does not dig into you on the move. Interchangeable pistol grip inserts round out the fit options.
There are no iron sights here because this rifle was never meant to wear them. Up top you get a 20 MOA Picatinny rail that gives long range optics the elevation headroom the .338 Lapua deserves, plus side rail mounting points on the forend and a UIT rail underneath for a handstop or other accessories. The muzzle brake takes real bite out of recoil, and the detachable double stack magazine holds six rounds with one more in the chamber.
Steyr reportedly ran a 10,000 round endurance test during development of the .338 version, and it shows in how the rifle runs. Smooth bolt travel, a clean crisp trigger, and repeatable accuracy are the whole point of this platform. It ships with a heavy duty bipod, hard travel case, and sling swivels, so the out of box experience matches the price of admission.
This model ships with a heavy-duty bipod, a hard travel case, sling swivels, a 6-round detachable magazine, and the owner's manual. The 20 MOA Picatinny rail comes mounted on the receiver, so all you need to add is glass and rings.
Very. The cheek piece adjusts both vertically and horizontally, the recoil pad moves up and down and uses spacers for length of pull, and there is an adjustable rear monopod for stable prone work. The pistol grip also takes interchangeable inserts to match your hand size, and the whole stock folds for transport.
The .338 Lapua Magnum stays supersonic well beyond 1,500 meters, and at those distances you burn through a scope's internal elevation fast. The 20 MOA of built-in declination gives your optic extra usable travel so you can dial for truly long shots without running out of adjustment.
The SBS action uses six large front locking lugs positioned directly behind the case head, a stronger arrangement than the rear-lug design on the older SSG 69. Steyr designed it to protect the person behind the rifle even during an overpressure event or a barrel obstruction, and grooves in the bolt trap debris so the action keeps cycling in rough conditions.
