Our Staff named the SLR15 Grail after finding that this particular configuration shoots like no other rifle that we have ever built.
 
The SLR15 Grail is the product of many years of research, development, testing, and our experiences in shooting.

The configuration of the SLR15 Grail configuration allows for what has been described to us by users as a "perfect harmony."

It is chambered in 5.56 Nato with a free float 16" lightweight chrome lined barrel.
 
SLR15 Grail in Black 
Some of the features include Forged 7075 upper and lower receivers, a Sully Stock, and Ergo Grip.
SLR15 Grail Rifle in OD
It will be offered with an Aimpoint Optic package that includes a Larue mount.
 
Note that the SLR15 Grail Rifle does not allow for customization of the stock or other key components.
