HOLY GRAIL! RARE SIG SG 550-1 Sniper Rifle w/ ZEISS Scope - Factory Case, Target, Manual & More!

This is the nicest example of a SIG SG 550-1 Sniper that has ever been offered for sale in America. What's unique on this one is that the Scope mount is marked "KAPO ZÜRICH" which means Kantonal Polizei Zürich, i.e. Zürich state police, Zürich is both Switzerland’s largest city and a state, which makes this one a Police Surplus and quite unique and stands out from others. There are very few here in the US, some would say less than 10 and is EXTREMELY RARE to get your hands on, so do not pass up the opportunity to own this Unicorn. This one is Serial #099! (130099) The SIG SG 550-1 Sniper is by far one of the most user adjustable rifles ever made, it was designed in cooperation with SIG and special police force units, as well as the Jordanian Palace Guard. Manufactured in Switzerland by Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG), this semiautomatic rifle chambered in .223 Remington caliber (5.56 X 45mm) more than lives up to its name. Introduced into the company’s lineup around 1989, it’s always been somewhat of a limited issue item. Its design is based on the SIG 550 series of military assault rifles known in Switzerland as the Sturmgewehr 90 (Stgw 90). But this hybrid rifle is manufactured with sniper specific features totally unique from the main issue battle rifle of the Swiss army. Unique to the SG 550-1 Sniper, the barrel is 25.6 inches long and has a right-hand twist rate of 1-in-10 inches, with 6 grooves. Its finish is a matte-black nonreflective coating. A black elastic anti-mirage band is fitted above the handguards to avoid heat waves from rising off the warm barrel and distorting the view through the scope. All of the remaining metal parts and the two receiver halves are finished in a gray powder coat. A Parker-Hale bipod is located beneath the handguards. Made of steel, this well known design has two legs which fold up underneath the handguard for storage. As mentioned earlier, it is adjustable for height and both angle of cant and inclination. Each leg has a swiveling rubber padded base. Magazines made for the 550 rifles are produced from a transparent plastic which allows a good view of the ammunition remaining inside, this one comes with 2-20rd. Magazines. This is a very heavy rifle weighing in at 15.5lbs, which makes for a great Sniper. Equipped with one of the original scope choices for these Rifles is a ZEISS DIAVARI-Z 2.5-10x52 with a unique, but cool reticle, comes with the original paperwork. Comes in the original factory SIG hard transit case designed specifically for this rifle, the case is matching to the rifles S# (130099), The Manual with matching Serial# (130099), All Matching parts, Matching Scope Mount, Factory Paper Target with matching Serial#. With the most recent Presidential Executive Order banning the further importation of the SIG SG550-1 Sniper rifle, it is now relegated to the status of collector firearm.
