At SHOT Show 2025’s Global Defense Range Day, SIG SAUER gave us a closer look at an exciting, though not yet commercially available, rifle: the SIG SPEAR DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle).
Designed for precision and performance, this rifle is built to excel in a variety of scenarios. While this rifle has been designed for the U.S. Army, SIG hinted at a commercial variant being available down the road.
Key Features of the SIG SPEAR DMR
The SPEAR DMR has a few key features one might expect from a rifle built to serve a designated marksman:
- Adjustable and Folding Stock: The fully adjustable stock not only allows for precise fitment but also folds for better portability, making it ideal for discreet transport.
- 20-Inch Barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor: With its extended barrel and caliber choice, this rifle is purpose-built for long-range performance.
- SIG SPEAR Foundation: While it shares much of its design and functionality with the standard SIG SPEAR, the DMR tweaks its setup for marksman-specific applications.
Purpose-Built for Precision
The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering and 20-inch barrel make the SPEAR DMR a natural choice for precision distance shooting. This alone fulfills the role its name suggests.
It’s a rifle designed to bridge the gap between infantry rifles and sniper platforms. Giving operators the accuracy and range they need for a designated marksman role.
Stock
The SIG SPEAR DMR features a fully adjustable and folding stock that prioritizes both comfort and portability. Nearly identical to the SIG Cross rifle stock, this version utilizes a different angled mount while maintaining the same ultra-light construction.
The stock includes precision adjustments for both the cheek riser and length of pull, ensuring a tailored fit for any shooter. Its folding design adds to its adaptability.
This feature makes the rifle more compact for discreet transport or storage without compromising functionality or ergonomics.
Commercial Appeal?
Currently, the SIG SPEAR DMR is not commercially available, which may disappoint readers and myself who’d like to see this platform reach a broader audience.
Should SIG offer this alongside their other SPEAR models? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Final Thoughts
The SIG SPEAR DMR is another addition to SIG SAUER‘s purpose-built SPEAR lineup. It showcases their continual adaptation to meet end-user demands.
While it’s currently reserved for defense applications, it’s clear that this rifle has the potential to turn heads among civilian marksmen if it ever makes its way to the commercial market.

Yes they should definitely offer this in 6.5 creedmoor as long as it’s more accurate than the current 308 and 277 models.
