SR-100

The Erma SR-100 was developed in Germany by ERMA Werke as a high-end bolt-action sniper rifle. Public sources describe production in the late 1990s and emphasize its precision-role design rather than mass infantry use. It appeared at a time when police and military sniper rifles were moving toward modular stocks, adjustable ergonomics, and caliber flexibility. The SR-100 is therefore best understood as a boutique precision weapon: technically sophisticated, but not produced on the scale of more common sniper systems from Accuracy International, Sako, or Remington-based families.

Modern Firearms describes the SR-100 as a high-end sniper rifle capable of outstanding first-shot accuracy and rapid adjustment for tactical situations. It used a bolt-action layout, precision barrel system, adjustable stock features, and optical sight compatibility. Some descriptions associate the design with multiple chamberings, including standard and magnum precision cartridges. The rifle's value lay in repeatable accuracy and user fit rather than automatic fire or rugged mass-production simplicity. For an equipment database, the technical profile should focus on precision shooting, ergonomics, and limited-production character.

Operationally, the SR-100 would be most relevant to police marksmen, special units, or military sniper teams needing a precision bolt-action rifle. Its limited production and parts availability make it a niche system. That does not reduce its content value: niche precision rifles often influence procurement discussions and demonstrate industry capabilities even when they do not become standard weapons. On HiWars, the page should present SR-100 as a specialized German sniper rifle with high technical ambition and limited operational footprint.
