The rifle has the same features as the brand new STEYR SSG 08 but is based on the STEYR ELITE system with long picatinny rail on the housing.

The STEYR ELITE began a new era of precision rifles. Its ultimate accuracy, modern safety standard, and ergonomics, satisfy even the most demanding rifleman.

Highest Convenience by Individual Adjustment
To provide the shooter an optimal rifle fit, the cheek piece allows height adjustment and the recoil pad length of pull adjustments. This is done quickly and exactly, according to the individual needs.

More Configuration Details
Part of the STEYR ELITE configuration is the three positions SBS-safety system, a standard integrated NATO rail (Picatinny-rail), for scope mounting, and the integrated bipod.

Enhanced Fire Capacity
Another option is the “High-Capacity-kit,” which includes an extension adapter, a 10-shot magazine and mounting screws.
