IWI – Israel Weapon Industry – a member of the SK Group and a worldwide leader in combat-proven small arms – announces the launch of the Ace Sniper S.A Rifle. Based on the reliable, proven platform of the known Galil-Ace, the semi-automatic rifle with its advanced ergonomics design provides the user with the greatest accuracy and rapid engagement, even in harsh environments and weather conditions.

The innovative rifle empowers sniper proficiency in accurate long-distance firing, while its semi-automatic capability enables multi-target acquisition and fast shooting towards multiple targets. The MIL-STD magazine with a capacity of 20 rounds, also enables the user to be more effective against multiple targets over a prolonged period of time.

The free-floating barrel – 23” hammer-forged, chrome-lined, with 1:9.5” twist – enhances accuracy and extends barrel longevity. The two-stage trigger enables the user to adjust trigger-pull to their personal preference, sending the heavier, longer-range 7.62 NATO round accurately downrange to the target, while facilitating a faster release of the next bullet. A locking mechanism prevents any harm or injury to the shooter in case of bullet explosion out of the chamber, and a bolt carrier tail prevents the hummer reaching the firing pin before locking has been completed. The muzzle brake mitigates recoil, so that the shooter can get back on target quicker, and a foldable butt stock with adjustable cheek-rest provides a superior fit for the individual shooter.

The rifle is adaptable to all zoom riflescopes available today for medium to long-rang shooting and features a full-length top Picatinny rail (460mm), along with M-Lock system at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. An adjustable folding bipod that can easily be flipped into the required position, giving the shooter more flexibility to adjust to any shooting situation.

“First and foremost, the development of the new sniper rifle meets the user’s need for fast and accurate operation, even in challenging and changing environments, such as CQB zones, and while vehicles are on the move,” says Ronen Hamudot, Executive VP Marketing and Sales at SK Group. “In addition to the advanced features like the adjustable butt, the floating barrel and the two-stage trigger mechanism, the sniper rifle also includes a safety mechanism for user protection. We are proud to share that the new rifle is already in use by clients around the world, and has already successfully completed missions in the field.”
