Steyr Arms SSG69 PII 308 Winchester, $1899

[Newsfeed Hound]

Tactical bolt-action rifles are pretty easy to spot. Typically, they utilize a composite stock with pronounced pistol grip, oversize bolt handle and fire from a heavy barrel. The military models are camouflage or earth tone in color, and the law-enforcement models are usually black. Accuracy, strength, and simplicity are key attributes. Can a tactical rifle serve as a hunting rifle? We're not saying one can't. It's just that a tactical rifle typically weighs more than a hunting model. The heavy barrel enhances the ability to maintain accuracy throughout repeat fire and excessive heat.In addition, tactical rifles tend to be more suitable for longer distance shots and offer ergonomics that favor the prone position or other means of support. Compared to hunting rifles that feature adornments such as engravings or fancy wood, the tactical rifle is stark and businesslike. In this test we evaluated a 308 Winchester aimed at the law-enforcement market, the $1899 Steyr Arms SSG69 PII 308 Winchester.

I have two of these, one in 308win and one in 22-250 both are very accurate.
I'm told the 308 is one of the most accurate out of the box rifles money can buy and is used by something like 120 national police forces and armies around the world.
