Long range target rifle

Desert Tech

Not seeing too many Desert Tech rifles for under £2k!

I’m biased but .308 will get you out to 1000yds and I just so happen to have a SSG 69 for sale in .308 - For Sale: - Steyr SSG 69 P2/P1 .308

£600 gets you the rifle with a 5rd magazine. That leaves a lot of money for glass and ammunition!

OP wants a 1 mile gun

Very good point, well made. .308 would make it interesting

(Man. If we were neighbors you wouldn't be owning that rifle. ~Muir)

Swing mark 5 or Paramount match rifle will do the job and be different to all the others on the range

.....At a mile, really?!

Are these magazine-fed? I don't really want a single-shot rifle, really looking for a rifle with a magazine (ideally not one about jazz @StephenToast )

Urm they have an old style magazine a box that you manually take the bullet out of and place in the chamber

And are in 7.62x51, so no good at 1 mile.

You can rebarrel them to most things as a long action but they shoot competitions out to 1200 in most countries.

I've got a ten-round magazine to go with it if your buyer is interested. I've got the Steyria conversion and AI mags for mine.

Thanks for the offer Paul, but I think I'm going to go for a 300PRC or possibly a 7mm.

Go for it you only live once

If you have somewhere to shoot it then a 338 Lapua is great fun
