LGS got in a used Steyr SSG69 PII .308 rifle. Has a Swarovski 3.5-18×44P scope on it. Aftermarket rings. Has handing/safe marks on the outside , but the bore is mint and looks hardly shot. They got the package listed at 1400.00. Questions: How accurate are these comparing to an out of the box Rem 700? Do You think its a fair price for the package?

I cannot help you on price,but it is a great rifle and a terrific scope. I had the rifle many years ago and I would rather have the Steyr than a new Rem.
Honestly? Factory rifles are disgustingly good these days. I bet that with careful handloading and an aftermarket chassis or a synthetic stock with an aluminum block, the Remington would match the Steyr.
But by the time you did that, you'd be into it for as much as the Steyr.
Grab the rifle if you like the action, trigger, and glass, or if you value being really different.

Our SWAT team had two and they were real performers. One guy shot 1.67" at 300 yards using 168gr Federal Match.
The barrels are super accurate, the bad part is the barrel can't be readily changed out like a Remington or Savage.
I have no idea about the price.

Absolutely, almost too good to be true! The scope alone is worth $900+ used and a bare rifle should bring well over 1K. These have polygon rifling and I can't imagine it's shot out.
I've got an SSG 69 PI and it's a tack driver. If I told you how well it groups off a bench with Federal Premium ammo, you wouldn't believe me. Mine has a double set trigger and I've been using it for antelope in Wyoming.
Here's a photo with the current optics, a Leupold MK4 4.5-14x50 LR/T. Factory QD rings are expensive and mine were for 1" tubes. I needed 30mm rings for the MK4, so I bought a set of Talley steel rings. They're rock solid and a lot less expensive.
... and here's one with my previous choices, a Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10 with target turrets and a back-up Shepherd PII range compensating scope.

Looks very cool ! I think I will get it. I just never see them for sale at stores. This one also comes with extra magazine which is good thing . Scope looks very good. How difficult would it be to find Steyr factory 1" rings? If I buy it , I definitely want Steyr rings for it.Absolutely, almost too good to be true!

Steyr rings occasionally show up at auction for around $200. They're factory lapped and have punch dots on both halves that you line up. They're OK, but I think the Tally rings are better.
5 round mags go for $50-60. 10 round mags are more expensive, but they're notorious for feeding problems. You can add or remove spacers under the butt to change the length of pull in 1/4" increments.

I would buy it if I could. As noted the scope itself is worth a substantial amount let alone the rifle which I have always heard well of. Swarovski optics are high dollar and high quality. Present to SWMBO years ago was a fine pair of binoculars for her bird watching hobby. Superior optics.
Wendy's are the ones in the middle. Swarovski 8x42. My favorites are the Steiner 7x50 on the right and the Zeiss 15x56 on the left make for a great low powered spotting scope at the range or glassing or astronomical viewing.
