The appropriate weapon for difficult missions. The semi-automatic rifle SIG SG 550 Sniper has been developed in close co-operation with the special units of the police. The basic concept relies on the assault rifle SG 550. This weapon is nice and light weight for easy deployment in the field. The caliber is smaller than the other rifles so accuracy is needed.

Superior precision

The outstanding accuracy is based on the heavy hammer-forged precision barrel as well as the low recoil, gas-operated loading system with rotating bolt. The sensitive double-pull trigger and the possibility to fire in a very short time have a favourable effect on the weapon's precision.

High combat readiness

The high combat readiness of the precision rifle SG 550 Sniper is ensured by the ambidextrous safety lever that can be operated with the shooting hand and by the large magazine capacity of 20 or 30 rounds. If necessary, a second shot can be fired very quickly as the weapon cycles automatically. The SG 550 Sniper has been designed for caliber 5.56 mm (.223) ammunition which allows to use the GP 90 cartridge of the Swiss army, an inexpensive cartridge with high performance and superior precision characteristics. Maintenance and cleaning of this rifle are extremely simple. The entire weapon is disassembled and reassembled with effortless ease and without any tools. The complete rifle, with butt folded and with scope or night vision equipment mounted, can be carried - safely and well protected - in its standard hard case.
