Knight's Armament SR-25 Stoner is a flattop accurized version of the famous M-16 5.56 mm assault rifle, but chambered for the powerful 7.62 mm round. Some users claim this is the most accurate semi auto in the world. With proper ammo it can easily produce 0.75 MOA groups, and this is really good for a semi auto.
Its barrel is a 24 inch heavy floating barrel, which means that it is attached only to the main body to prevent too much resonance. That's why the rifle is so accurate. On the top there is an Integral Weaver-Style rail provided, so a lot kind of scopes, night visions can be attached. Stock is a black synthetic one, AR-15A2 design. The glass-reinforced synthetic forend attaches to the upper receiver at a single point. The trigger is also from the AR-15. It is fully adjustable.
SR-25 is in use in the United States and Israel.
In Israel it is issued with either a Leopold X10 day optic or a Litton Aquila
X6 Night Vision Device (NVD), and used alongside with M-16A2 and M-24 SWS as
a Designated Marksman rifle. Used mainly in covert ops, when the origin of weapons
must not be point to Israel.
