Closing thoughts
As the Terrorist teams semi-automatic sniper rifle, the G3SG1 can deal staggering damage output with accuracy.
The SSG 08 - also known as the "scout" - is the cheapest sniper rifle. In the right hands (those that can land shots to the head consistently) it can be a devastating weapon for its low price.
Interestingly, it also has a absurdly good jumping accuracy and a relatively low movement speed penalty of 8% (even while scoped), which allow it to be played with a more mobile style than other sniper rifles.
