Hello fellow CGN members,
Introduction:
About half a year ago I finally got into a range that allows rifle shooting. Since then, I have been doing a lot of research on what precision rifle I should get while testing out as many as I could via, chatting and asking on several forums for advice and information on what rifle to get.
I wanted something good that will last me 4-5 years and then some that I can train with. I am not a bad shot but not amazing either so I need something better to hone my skills.
My research led me to SIG Sauer SSG 3000. A great gun that just got undercut and as if the stars aligned. IRG brought them in at a great price (Thanks Irunguns!)
Outfit
So here it is:
and boy is SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!
With your advice CGN, she is now outfitted with
-Sightron SIII SS 6-24X50 with Alberta Tactical Rifle Rings.
-Mounted with a Harris bipod.
-Grizzly brake is on it's way and should arrive tomorrow.
Review
Please note: this is a very amateurish perspective but I'll give you what I felt about it.
What I like about it:
-Great tigger; light, responsive, no creep and easily to change trigger weight
-Pistol grip
-comes with a plastic gun case
Neutral:
-the stock, no longer McMillan, feels light but is definitely solid. Definitely feels cheap though (I guess that's what $909 cutback does)
What I didn't like:
-cheek piece feels flimsy, buttons don't work perfectly
-probably one of the most heaviest bolts actions I've handled with a synthetic stock (we are talking vanilla here, no accessories)
-pistol grips a little big, or I just have small hands
Ammunition
I don't reload, at least not yet since I just started getting into rifle. You'll see me asking about it in Reloading probably later in the year but not now.
So I swung by the nearest gun shop (lebaron) and bought every .308 they carry. Rem, Win, Hornady, cheap and match grade, 150 gr, 165 gr and 180.
From test,
it seems to like the Winchester Super X Rounds the most and grain wise 150 at 100 yards at 1 MOA
Remington Core-lokt 150 grain was okay at 2 MOA
Remington Match was a POS of 5 MOA
Hornady Supermatch DOES NOT FIT. Maybe I got a lemon but the rounds were too long and I could not close the bolt all the way with any of them.
I could probably do a lot better with hand loads and I plan to do so later.
All in all this is my review for the SIG Sauer SSG 3000.
Special thanks to:
-IRUNGUNS (for the rifle. Yes, you guys screwed up and got my hopes up for the wrong rifle but at least you finally got me my rifle.)
-Hirsch Precision for the scope, rings and mounts
-Tomochan for telling me about grizzly gunworks
-CosmiC10R for recommending the sightron
-blauber for recommedning Hirsch
Obligatory TL : DR
SSG 3000 great gun! 9/10
