Last week, the Brazilian Military conducted an international durability and accuracy test on Edmonson County’s Nemesis Arms, a maker of premier sniper rifles. 

The Nemesis Arms LMR model, in .308 prevailed, overcoming sniper rifle submissions offered by Sig Arms of New Hampshire, Daniel Defense of Georgia, and CZ of the Czech Republic.  The evaluation will help Brazil select their next sniper rifle and might influence other nations seeking to update their own sniper rifle inventories. 

Nemesis rifles are unique throughout the world because they feature rapid no tools takedown with rifle caliber replacement and ambidextrous bolts, with return to zero following takedown and reassembly.

The test began by taking two Nemesis rifles, swapping barrels to test interoperability, followed by testing accuracy with a ten shot grouping measuring no more than .59 inches at a range of 100 meters.  Then the rifles were each dropped 16 times with primed cartridges from a height of 1.5 meters onto concrete to test ruggedness and safety.  The drop tests were followed by endurance testing which started with 200 rounds fired rapidly (3 seconds between shots) to measure heat buildup (the rifle temp measured slightly over 300 degrees) at which time a live round was loaded and left for ten minutes to ensure it did not discharge spontaneously. 

The rifle was then cleaned and fired rapidly again, this time for another 300 rounds, cleaned then tested again for accuracy with a must shoot ten shot grouping measuring less than 1 Minute Of Angle (approximately 1.2 inches at 100 meters).  The Nemesis rifle’s group measured .6 inches (1/2 Minute Of Angle).  No other arms company’s rifle passed.

Manufactured in the Edmonson County Industrial Park, Nemesis is a member of the Edmonson Chamber of Commerce; their products are used the world over and have appeared in Hollywood movies like the Bourne Legacy, as well as in numerous TV thrillers.
