Developed by Eugene Stoner, This rifle exhibits some of the characteristics of his former designs, notably the AR-10 and the M-16. However, this is not just an upgraded assualt rifle, but was designed from the beginning as a sniper rifle. There has been mixed results about this rifle. Some people swear by them, and others do not like them at all. (The 1st SFG comes to mind here). The accuracy has never been an issue, they all tend to be VERY accurate, with .5 MOA attainable. But the reliability during field operations has been questionable. If you decide to go with one of these rifles, you will need to maintain a very tight maintenance schedule to insure reliability, and prolonged field operations will require very close attention. The SR-25 is manufactured by Knights Mfg Co.
