About
What it is, and why it matters
The Wilson Combat Super Sniper is a precision semi-automatic AR-platform rifle built for unmatched accuracy at long range. Its heart is a heavy-weight, fluted, stainless steel premium match-grade barrel optimized for stabilizing the longer, heavier match bullets favored for distance shooting. Paired with a crisp two-stage Tactical Trigger Unit tuned to roughly four pounds, an adjustable gas block, a free-floating M-LOK handguard, and Wilson Combat's Armor-Tuff finish, the Super Sniper is offered across a deliberately accuracy-focused range of chamberings - .223 Wylde, .224 Valkyrie, 6.5mm Creedmoor, 6.5mm Grendel, and .308 Winchester. Each rifle is hand-built and individually accuracy-tested, delivering true precision-rifle performance in a semi-automatic package.
The Super Sniper name has become shorthand among precision AR shooters for Wilson Combat's accuracy-first philosophy - heavy match barrels, two-stage triggers, and chamberings chosen for ballistic performance rather than mass-market appeal.
Available in AR-15 (.223 Wylde, .224 Valkyrie, 6.5 Grendel) and AR-10 (6.5 Creedmoor, .308) configurations; barrel lengths vary by caliber (typically 18-20 inches). The Urban Super Sniper is a configuration variant. Trigger is Wilson Combat's two-stage TTU set near 4 lb.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
