The ‪@steyr_arms‬ SSG 69 was an early trend-setting sniper rifle in many different ways. While not all design elements were copied for later rifles, it's wide use of polymers, short bolt throw design, detachable polymer magazines and adjustable length of pull are staple and expected features for most precision sniper rifles in 2023.
In many ways, the world had not paid attention to the fore-runner of sniper rifle technologies encapsulated in the SSG 69, but how would it perform on our course? We find out.

Hello everyone, I am an armorer in the Austrian Armed Forces. We still use the SSG69 in the same configuration today. The firing range is 400 meters for a head aim, 600 meters for a trunk aim and 800 meters for a whole body aim. (the latter being very "optimistic") The weapon seen in the video has been slightly modified as mentioned in the video. After so many years, the plastic of the gun stock has a tendency to break at the level of the magazine. Also, the gap between stock and barrel is too narrow. This means that when the sun heats the plastic of the stock on one side, it rests against the barrel and prevents the barrel from swinging freely

@@lucastonoli3256 Well, Austria was at times considered German, especially when “Germany” was made up of several independant German speaking states. Germanic refers to a people originating in Scandinavia spreading down into Europe. Much of eastern Germany was at this time inhabited by Slavs rather than Germanics. Sweden is more Germanic than Austria, which was the cradle of the Celts. It’s just that English is really bad at distinguishing between Deutsche and Germanen.

Steyr might not be the biggest name in firearms, or find the most traction with military acceptance, but they're always thinking ahead, and it's neat to see how their ideas age. This one aged very well.

Austrian here former sniper in training (no combat experience) my heart just jumped a little bit seeing this review 😍 that said that is already the updated version where they made small but significant changes: the scope on the original one was a Kahles ZF 69 6x42 with a T sight no ballistic reticle. The handle on the bolt had no knob it was practically just a flat piece of metal, we used to call it butter knife that's how easy it cuts your hand when trying to reload fast 🤭 there was only the 5 shot box magazine shown in the video, from the looks from it, it holds more rounds now because it sits flush with the trigger guard which wasn't the case on the original one it was flush with the frame and pretty annoying to get out because you had to squeeze two little levers together, and it still wouldn't release you'd have to pull it out 😆also there was no target stock just plain slippery polymer 😅but it was deadly accurate for a military duty sniper rifle set out to hit body targets up to 600 m with an 80 % first shot hit chance and exceeded that expectations easily. i am getting nerdy and nostalgic here 🙃 Very good picture where you can see some of the mentioned details: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_SSG_69#/media/Datei:Steyr_SSG69.jpg

I had one like this in Rhodesia it had a set trigger and a Khales ZFM 6x42 ZFM, great gun, the scope reticule had a triangle, the width of each horizontal bar would tell you how to adjust your height, it was based on the assumption that a man shoulder to shoulder dimensions was 450mm or 18 inch. Best scope I ever had especially for shooting under pressure, for rapid acquisition of targets.

@nirfz Жыл бұрын

To be honest, the small arms were (most of the time) the only things weere we got first rate "modern" quality items. (SSG69, AUG, Glock P80) Many other things were pretty dated in my time (99/00, ...we have conscription...). The body armour thing is something i would claim is mostly rooted in a "tradition" our armed forces experience at least since since the late 18th or early 19th century: being (sometimes criminally) underfinanced. (->i was still issued a steel helmet at the turn of the century while most of our army had changed to Kevlar) And the cardio thing i would claim is also partially due to a lack of funding. Hiking almost everywhere means no vehicle wear and no fuel used while improoving the soldiers health and stamina. (i started with 78kg of bodyweight at 187cm height, and after 4 months of basic training, infantery group leader and "emergency" platoon commander training, i was down to 70kg) And in the case Henry mentioned in the AUG video: If you are used to having to move everywhere by foot and then still have recources to "fight" left (at least trainingfights) and then, for an international exercise, you get the luxury to be moved by a motorized vehicle, you have all that stamina that is normally used up by "getting there" left...😎 And that can lead to surprises for others... Also, one of the first things we got taught was "a good shooter needs a minimum of 3-4 seconds between recognizing/identifying a target and releasing an aimed shot. ->That is the time you have to move between cover, so be fast and think ahead."

22:44 Yes, the austrian army did not wear "camo". But the thing is, with the colour our army chose (in 1975!) and the envirement here in austria, it still worked as good as any camo. (We tried it in 99 and were surprised how late someone with that colour gear and a little facepaint who did not move more than breathing was spotted with the naked eye.... way too late if he had a standard issue rifle, and in one case even too late if he had a knife! 🫣 Partially it was to show us fresh conscripts how to camo ourselves and what to avoid in position ect.) And about the cardio thing, i also commented that on the AUG video if i remember correct: when i was in (99/00) our army still had it's emphasis on "being able to reach destination without motorized transport" or let's just say we "hiked" almost everywhere... And that means that if you (for once) get the luxury of being transported by a motorized vehicle (or heli) you have all the stamina left to use. Anyways, what a nice birthday present to have 2 videos of the sniper rifle (with the longest service record) of my home country! Thanks guys! Would give more than one 👍if i could 😎 Btw.: the magazine should be able to be lowered one notch. this allows for single loading wihtout engaging the first round of the mag.

A rifle that was well ahead of its time. Would love to shoot one someday
