Caracal CSR Sniper Rifle
The UAE’s only gun manufacturer, Caracal International, have developed their first rifle. The Caracal Sniper Rifle (CSR) is a bolt action chambered in either .308 Win. or .300 Win. Mag.
The magazine holds 10 rounds. It features a fully adjustable stock, quad picatinny rails and what looks to be an AR-15 compatible pistol grip (I may be wrong about the grip).
CSR Basic model has a 23.6″ (600mm) barrel, while the CSR Compact model has a 20″ (510mm ) barrel.
Calling a 20 inches “Compact” is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. That aside, this looks like a solid first rifle for Caracal. I look forward to their future semi-automatics.

Who is the importer for the pistol?
I see a foreign alternative and cheaper alternative to the .300 win mag M-2010.
The US Military will never be widely issued a weapon not produced in the US.
