Today being Boxing Day here in UK, we had our traditional BD guest day shoot. Pal Scott turned up with his new 'toy', a totally mint SSG-69 in black, with a nifty carbon mod on the end and a neat NSX scope on top.
My dream rifle for years, I somehow never got around to finding one for my self.
Although he shot it last week with some 167gr handloads with great results he was kind enough to let me try with my favourite 155gr Scenar load, with much the same results - two five-shot groups measuring just over half and inch each. Now the problem - magazines. Any places stateside with better than UK prices for me to look at for him? We are talking here in excess of $160 for a five-round version...... We are frequent visitors to USA - he has never been further than Scotland in his life.
