Hi! |

I am going to paste here something I put into the Talk section of [[Austrian Armed Forces]]. That Army now uses the M1, which is an even newer version (2018) of the SSG. Check out the webpage below for details on the M1. I think some consolidation is in order. My paste (with a few small changes) follows below: |

Under "Equipment" and then "Sniper Rifles" there is the "Steyr SSG M1". There is no WIKI page on this weapon... |

However, there are three WIKI pages, in sequence, for the Steyr SSG 69, Steyr SSG 04 and Steyr SSG 08. The number is the year of introduction, being 1969, 2004 and 2008. |

Now I went out to the Internet and found a listing for the Steyr SSG M1, which does not follow the same nomenclature. It is a brand-new sniper rifle, dating apparently from 2018. I will put here a website with lots of details: |

So I think we need to come up with a listing on this gun. Obviously the "69" came first, it was the mainstay for decades, and is not a very modern design. However: |

The '04 was a '''BIG''' update to the '69, and -- |

The '08 was a '''SMALL''' improvement to the '04 -- |

And I am guessing that the M1 is another set of '''SMALL''' improvements to the '08. |

In short, we might be able to roll the '69, '04, '08 and M1 all into one WIKI page titled: "Steyr SSG". |

However the entries for '69 include a whole lot of "Users", which would be hard to separate, so maybe a page for the '69, |

And then another page for the: 04, 08 and M1 all combined, since they have had much shorter service lifespans, and very few different users. |

Furthermore, the '04, '08 and M1 are all very similar, all have modern metals, plastic/carbon furniture, modern attachments, etc. They really look like updates to the same basic weapon. Bottom line, the '69 is old school. But the last three look like small improvements, not big ones, and a cynic would say that they are there to keep the sales of the gun moving! |

Anyway, I think that we need to take a look at how this particular set of sniper rifles is listed, and make room for the M1, and then organize the others. |

Steyr SSG M1, and '04, and '08
Hi!
I am going to paste here something I put into the Talk section of Austrian Armed Forces. That Army now uses the M1, which is an even newer version (2018) of the SSG. Check out the webpage below for details on the M1. I think some consolidation is in order. My paste (with a few small changes) follows below:
________________________________
Under "Equipment" and then "Sniper Rifles" there is the "Steyr SSG M1". There is no WIKI page on this weapon...
However, there are three WIKI pages, in sequence, for the Steyr SSG 69, Steyr SSG 04 and Steyr SSG 08. The number is the year of introduction, being 1969, 2004 and 2008.
Now I went out to the Internet and found a listing for the Steyr SSG M1, which does not follow the same nomenclature. It is a brand-new sniper rifle, dating apparently from 2018. I will put here a website with lots of details:
https://www.all4shooters.com/en/shooting/pro-zone/steyr-mannlicher-ssg-m1-sniper-rifle/
So I think we need to come up with a listing on this gun. Obviously the "69" came first, it was the mainstay for decades, and is not a very modern design. However:
The '04 was a BIG update to the '69, and -- The '08 was a SMALL improvement to the '04 -- And I am guessing that the M1 is another set of SMALL improvements to the '08.
In short, we might be able to roll the '69, '04, '08 and M1 all into one WIKI page titled: "Steyr SSG".
However the entries for '69 include a whole lot of "Users", which would be hard to separate, so maybe a page for the '69, And then another page for the: 04, 08 and M1 all combined, since they have had much shorter service lifespans, and very few different users.
Furthermore, the '04, '08 and M1 are all very similar, all have modern metals, plastic/carbon furniture, modern attachments, etc. They really look like updates to the same basic weapon. Bottom line, the '69 is old school. But the last three look like small improvements, not big ones, and a cynic would say that they are there to keep the sales of the gun moving!
Anyway, I think that we need to take a look at how this particular set of sniper rifles is listed, and make room for the M1, and then organize the others.
