Do all of the US made ssg 3000s come with a German proof target?
Great write up! I'm very interested in one of these. In fact I'd probably buy it today if I could find the 18" version. No where to be be found however... I've handled the 24" version and there is a definite quality difference between it and an off the shelf Remington 700.
The weight difference is had a pound between the 24 and 18. Also you could just order the barrel from Sig and have both variants

For what it's worth, I have found it likes faster loads, obviously different guns like different loads, but velocities will be around 60 FPS slower with the 18 "

How do you like that monopod? I've been wanting to buy that for a while. What size did you get and is it enough extension for both bench rest and prone out should I get two different sizes?

how is the monopod attached? is there a rail on the butt stock?
Second question, Is there a way to attach an Atlas bipod (rail on bottom of fore end?)
Palmetto State Armory had these for $1199+$15 shipping this morning which is the lowest I've seen. I payed $1238 for Mickey but I don't need a 5th one, probably need to sell the 2 consectutived serial # ones I have.
This rifle is badass.I paid fullboat for mine at the funshow over the winter,and,right away I knew what it was when I saw it..
Mine has the test target 1/2" group at 100 meters with geschoss diamond 168grain.Ive been getting 2" groups at 300yds with bipod and rear bag,off the bench,with handloads of 44 grains 4064 and 155smk palmas.It come in a big funky case thats just too heavy and hardly fit the trunk.A swiss cleaning kit,no xtra mag,also.
With the scope,its one heavy rifle [zeiss 6.5x20 conquest] harris bipod.
I will try 168 amax this weekend.
You can spend a helluva lot more for a prescision rifle like this.
Has anybody gotten an 18" yet??
...I've used primarily 4064, 44.0 for 190(pushing the envelope, but no signs of overpressure...( I make my oal at 2.860 and they work greaat.
I used sierra 190. I dont have a chrono yet{I probably will get one next month. not that expensive} I estimated the mv to be about 2550-2575. I think this was pretty close based on the the ferformance of the round.I did the ballistics calculation assuming 2575 fps . I shot at 300,600,00,900,1000 yards using the specified bullet drop and moa adjustments. The results were close to spot on, only had to move a couple of clicks either way. I like the 190 better at 800, 900 and 1k, though the 175s will reach out there easily. 190s buck the wind a little betterHave you chrono'ed your 190 loads? Any idea what muzzle velocity you got? Was it Sierra or VLD 190?
Good shooting!
I loved to read all comments on this forum....
As a European match shooter I try to find some info about heavy .308 bullets ( over 155 Grain )
Here most long range shooting ( like Fclass TR ) is done with 155 Scenars.
Is there any comment to give so i could try that?
My rifle is a .308 Grunig & Elmiger 26"barrel twist 1:12
I also can load longer OAL's
Shooting here ( the Netherlands) is only 100 and 300 meters. For longer distances we have to go to Bisley England.
Small country
I have shot matches with SMK's 180 GN at 300 mtrs loaded with VV N140 - 41 gn. groups ca. 1/2 MOA ( with iron sights)
But can I use 175 GN bullets up to 1000 meters matches? what will they do with wind.....
Looking forward to have some reply from the USA!
I talked to Sig USA customer service last week regarding the same question. The guy I spoke with told me all they have at this time are 308 barrels and .22 conversion kits. He was not sure if or when they would be offering anything else.I thought I read somewhere replacement barrels in .260 Rem would be offered? Any truth in this?
It doesn't seem like it. Someone posted in this thread about an adapter that may be available from overseas. I am looking into that now.Are any gunsmith/barrel makers offering replacement/alternative barrels for these in the United States. That is the only major reason I haven't bought one yet.
