NSRO is an acronym for Navy SEAL Robert O’Neill, a limited-edition rifle produced by WATCHTOWER Firearms in collaboration with Robert O’Neill. Together, we offer a quality precision rifle that is reliable and range ready with EOTECH’s hybrid optic package. Robert chose the Type 15 rifle as his platform because it exceeds military specifications, with ambidextrous controls, a government profile .223 Wylde barrel, a robust corrosion-resistant 5.56 NATO bolt carrier group and is manufactured from high-grade billet aluminum for a wobble-free fitment and to prevent dust and debris. To give the rifle an edge, Robert upgraded the trigger to a Geissele SSA-E two-stage trigger and a compensating muzzle brake to reduce recoil significantly. Lastly, he engraved his logo as a stamp of approval and finished the gun in a cerakote gray with red accents.

The price tag is $2,299.
