SSG 08 | Ghost Crusader (Factory New)

The SSG08 bolt-action is a low-damage but very cost-effective sniper rifle, making it a smart choice for early-round long-range marksmanship. It has been painted white and given arctic blue accents. I can never replace what was taken from us... but I can take even more from them - The Phoenix and The Initiate Part 2
