General information
The Mk 11 Mod 0 (pronounced "mark eleven, mod zero") has received worldwide recognition as one of the most accurate and durable semiautomatic rifle systems in existence. It is currently in service with most operational components of United States Special Operations Command and also with the Israeli Special Forces. The system has also recently become available to civilian consumers at a unit price of around $7,500 USD; however, it lacks the sound suppressor unit.

According to Knight's Armament Company, the heart of the Mk 11 system is the free-floated RAS (Rail Accessory System) fore-end. The aluminum fore-end makes no contact with the barrel forward of the receiver, allowing for extreme accuracy. The Mk 11 Mod 0 uses the KAC 11.35 in (288 mm) long match RAS fore-end, which allows for quick attachment/detachment of MIL-STD-1913 components.
The civilian versions are guaranteed to produce groupings using factory match loads of less than 1 inch at 100 yards (28 mm at 100 m) or 0.3 angular mil. The mil (in full, angular mil) is a unit of angular measure. ...

Note, the KAC SR-25 which is the basis of the Mk 11 Mod 0 system is different from the M25 Sniper Rifle used for a time by USSOCOM. Although they both fire match grade 7.62 x 51 mm NATO ammunition, the M25 is a modified, accurized M14, while the KAC SR-25 is essentially a derivative of the AR-10, the predecessor to the AR-15 and M16 family of assault rifles. The M21 is the semi-automatic sniper rifle adaptation of the popular M14 rifle. ...
