This video provides an in-depth look at the SIG 550-1 Sniper rifle, a highly accurate variant of the SIG 550 (Sturmgewehr 90). The reviewer highlights its premium build quality, emphasizing features like a long, heavy barrel, adjustable folding stock, bipod, Hensoldt scope, and match trigger. It's revealed that this rifle was originally designed for Swiss police, who ultimately preferred heavier calibers, and saw limited adoption beyond the Jordanian Royal Guard. The primary reasons for its limited success are attributed to its 5.56x45mm chambering and high cost, making alternatives like the H&K PSG-1 in 7.62mm NATO more appealing for many potential buyers seeking greater stopping power.
