I have a chance to pick up a used KAC SR25 ER at a great price. I am primary looking for a long range precision rifle. This has the 20" 5R barrel, etc. any thougths on its accuracy & reliability? Only 170rds thru it.
here is the link for description. http://www.impactguns.com/knights-sr-25-er-308-20in-blk-wurx-ii-30359.aspx |

I would go for it. Knights puts out some pretty good guns may not be the most accurate. But they make some good guns.

It's probably one of the best gas guns you will find for accuracy. I think KAC uses krieger barrels.

If you need an off the shelf 7.62 gas gun that is plug and play with an optic and will shoot 1 MOA or better...they are a good choice.
They are pricey. They can have a wait time if you don't find one in stock. Parts are sometimes hard to get and you generally can't mechanic on it yourself. But it flat out will get shit done and has a proven record in combat...albeit with a bit of a learning curve. |

Go for it. I get amazing accuracy out of my SR25 16" enhanced carbine plus 100% reliablity suppressed/unsuppressed. The 20" ER is basically a civilianized MK11

no suppressor here, I live in a Communist state. i was thinking of possibly cutting down the barrel, re-crowning & threading a brake on there in the future.

The SR25 ER is perfect for you being in NJ seeming it is already evil featureless. I would probably leave that barrel alone until you shoot it.I have shot a few ERs with factory 20 inch target crown barrels and they were tack drivers! A little extra muzzle velocity from the longer barrel can be helpful if you plan to really stretch it out as well.

Just got an APC in and its an absolute laser, once I get totally comfortable with it, I'll be giving the MOA all day challenge a shot.
I had an ECR prior to that, and it was a great shooter as well. No malfunctions in either, and both very accurate. Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of websites that sell SR25 parts, so in the rare event something breaks, you'll have no trouble getting parts. The only special part you may need is a URX3 wrench, if you get the older style 25, everything else is standard from a tool standpoint. |

If you still haven't purchased that rifle yet I am selling the exact same but with optics for the same price. Only 200 rounds through it.

If you are getting a great price buy it. Worst case you get to try something new then flip it and make a couple bucks. If its not a screaming deal I would think longer.
Of the three SR25's I have experience with (ECC, ECR, EMC) one MOA for five five shot groups would be on the optimistic side. A consistent 1.5ish is what I have seen with several different loads from FGMM to handloads. Thats a sample size of one so take that for what its worth. For shooting tiny groups I think there are better buys. If thats not your focus then you might like it. |

Knights may have fixed it with the new sr25s but m110s could be very accraute to 2-3 moa groups. At least the ones my old unit had and I have heard the same from other units to. Buy with the obr jp and gap offerings if you want small groups I'd go with thkise |

I have seen a lot of guys expect the same accuracy as a quality bolt gun and that is very hard to come by in a gas gun in my experience. If you are in Jersey you have all the pre-ban crap to deal with. Seems like the KAC would work well for your circumstances. Just know its probably not going to shoot bugholes like a quality bolt gun. |

Yes. The MK11 Mod 0 suppressor (PN 98440) fits on the ER. The ERs were basically using the rest of the MK11 barrel and gasblock stock (or this is my understanding based on what was told to me by someone who claims inside knowledge).
Personally I think the gun is awesome. But I am biased as I own one. Mine has a test target under .5 MOA. No it won't be as accurate as a custom bolt gun, but that wasn't the point of why the mil or anyone wanted a semi auto sniper system. It wasn't to shoot .01 MOA haha. |

The LMT MWS with SS barrel definitely stands out as being more precise for us. Of course you need to consider it is sporting a SS barrel vs the CL barrels of the rifles I have. It is not top end bolt gun accurate, but if you execute each shot correctly it is pretty damn close. There is a lot of shared blood between KAC and LMT. I would have no problems with either if I could only have one rifle. View Quote |

The m110s the army uses seems to be hit or miss on accuracy. Don't know if it's the ammo or the rifles. But some seem to shoot lights out and some seem to be 1.5 moa rifles. But we only have one ammo type to test with.
