Design and features

The RSASS was designed by Remington with help from JP Enterprises Company. The rifle is built with JP-made components including a left-side charging handle receiver and trigger group but is sold and supported by Remington. Remington offers the R11 RSASS rifle as a complete package, with a Leupold telescopic sight, a quick-detachable suppressor, a Harris bipod and a carrying case.[2] The stated accuracy for the RSASS is Sub-MOA, with an effective range of up to 1,100 yd (1,000 m).[1]

The rifle is based on the Stoner AR-10 system adapted to .308 caliber cartridges, with adjustable direct gas impingement operation and rotary bolt locking. The receiver is designed with a folding charging handle located on the left side, which facilitates more comfortable operation from prone position. The barrel is made from stainless steel for maximum accuracy and fitted with a flash hider (when a suppressor is not used). Additional features include a fully adjustable Magpul stock and a flat-top style upper receiver with integral Picatinny rail. The rifle is fed using SR-25 pattern .308/7.62 magazines with 19- or 20-round capacities.[2]

Use

The primary market for the RSASS is law enforcement and military as a designated marksman/sniper rifle.[2] As of January 2013, the rifle is only available for Military/LEOs and not for civilian sales.[3]

gollark: What should be legally allowed or whatever and what you *should do* are different things.
gollark: Well, I personally feel that there's not much of a good ethical case for *forbidding* it, although you probably should try and make sure they actually want to.
gollark: It seems perfectly ethical to me.
gollark: Well, why should you NOT be able to request to be eaten?
