SIG TREAD Snakebite SE Details

The Snakebite SE starts with a unique flashhider/compensator component upgrade. The combo maintains minimal flash and reduced muzzle rise.

“We have a hybrid compensating flashhider,” said Patrick Hanley, Rifle Product Manager, SIG Sauer. “That’s right, this allows you to have the flash-suppressing ability while also having compensating in the top here to allow for reduction in muzzle rise.”

Meanwhile, a two-stage Matchlite trigger delivers an ultralight trigger pull. Featuring a flat-blade design specific to this model of the Snakebite, the trigger should help keep shooters on target.

The heart of the rifle then comes via a high-temperature FDE Cerakote-finished barrel. Measuring 16 inches in overall length, it features a 1:7 twist for stabilizing some of the popular, heavier 77-grain bullets on the market.
