HK PSG1 precision rifle

The HK PSG1 precision rifle (Präzisionsschützengewehr, meaning “precision marksman’s rifle”) was developed in direct response to the tragic events at the 1972 Munich Olympics. German security services needed a firearm that combined the rate of fire of a semi-automatic rifle with the surgical accuracy of bolt-action rifles.

The PSG1 was designed for counterterrorism units (e.g. GSG9, the British SAS). Unlike military snipers, police marksmen often need to take a second, corrective shot immediately—and this is where the PSG1’s semi-automatic action outclasses traditional bolt-action rifles.

Original HK PSG1 precision rifle, in very good working condition and complete with all accessories. Includes dedicated optics, a test target dated in the case, an instruction manual, and a scope card. Year: 1986.

Key Design Features

Roller-delayed bolt system: An adaptation of the G3 system, refined to perfection. This mechanism provides high reliability, though the shooter needs time to get used to its distinctive recoil.

Silent bolt closure: The PSG1 has a special button (similar to the forward assist on an AR-15) that lets you close the bolt silently—a key feature for covert operations.

Fully adjustable stock: You can adjust the length, cheekpiece height, and buttplate angle. This lets the shooter achieve a perfect fit with the firearm.

Trigger mechanism: Probably one of the best triggers in a semi-automatic rifle in the world. It is adjustable, very short, and predictable (pull weight approx. 1.5 kg).

No iron sights: The rifle comes from the factory without a front or rear sight. It is standard-equipped with the legendary Hensoldt ZF 6×42 scope with an illuminated reticle.
