DSR Precision DSR-1 .308 Rifle

DSR Precision DSR-1 .308 Rifle

The DSR-1 rifle was designed by certain German former military ordnance engineers and bench-rest gunsmiths. This rifle is manufactured since 2000 by German company DSR-Precision GmbH. Before 2004 the same rifle was also sold by another German company, the AMP Technical Services, which was a non-exclusive dealer of DSR-Precision but is no longer so. At the present time DRS 1 rifle is being marketed by its only manufacturer, DSR-Precision GmbH. The DSR 1 is a specialized sniper rifle (not a conversion of the standard military or hunting gun). It is adopted by German GSG 9 counter-terror group, as well as by some other elite European law enforcement agencies and certain non-European military Special Operations forces.

The DSR-1 is configured into bull-pup design, with free-floating barrel. The folding bipod is mounted onto upper rails (above the barrel), and the adjustable horizontal front grip is mounted on the lower rails (under the barrel). The rifle features fully adjustable buttstock and cheekpiece. The holder for spare magazine is installed in the front of the trigger guard to decrease reloading time or to have different type of ammunition (i.e. armor piercing) handy. DSR-1 action features match-grade, fluted barrel that is quickly interchangeable and is fixed into receiver by three screws. The bolt features six radial lugs that lock directly into the barrel. The barrel is protected by ventilated aluminium handguard and is fitted with muzzle brake (very useful when firing full-power magnum loads). The trigger is two-stage, adjustable. DSR-1 features manual, ambidextrous three position safety, located above the trigger guard.

The expected accuracy of the DSR-1 is almost extreme: some sources state sub-.2 MOA accuracy (0.20 inch / 5 mm groups measured centre-to-centre at 100 yards) when shot by experienced operator, with correct ammunition and in good environment conditions.

Designed from the ground up by DSR's technical team, this rifle meets or exceeds all mission requirements for a precision rifle. The concept and modular design of the DSR 1 allows it to be adapted to the different requirements of military and police snipers.

An advanced feature of the DSR-1 is its bullpup design. This configuration offers several advantages, not seen in traditional rifle designs. First, since the chamber of the barrel is located behind the trigger, the bullpup design allows for the use of a full length 26" barrel while maintaining a short and compact overall rifle length (39").

The bullpup design allows a straight, in-line barrel. Recoil forces are directed along a straight line, minimizing muzzle rise.

The DSR-1 has a custom made heavy bench rest barrel of the highest quality to guarantee the accuracy that the ammunition is capable of. The bores and chambers are made with the most stringent requirements concerning minimum dimensions and concentricity. Barrels are stress relieved.

The DSR-1 is fully adjustable to the shooters requirements. The rifle has an ergonomic pistol grip. The butt stock is adjustable for length of pull and butt plate position. The height of the cheek piece is adjustable via a quick release spring button. The adjustable for-end can also be used to rest the rifle on a sandbag. All adjustments can be accomplished within seconds and without tools via quick release tension levers. In addition, the positions are calibrated for easy reference.

An extended picatinny rail for scope and accessories ( e. g. night sight attachment) is attached above the receiver and barrel cover. The rifle can be equipped with any scope required.
