About SAI

Heritage Meets Innovation

Sterling Arms International (SAI) is a company rooted in precision, tradition, and innovation, bridging the rich heritage of British craftsmanship with the cutting-edge expertise of Canadian engineering. Headquartered on the historic Bisley Shooting Grounds just outside London (UK), SAI draws inspiration from a location steeped in the history of competitive shooting and firearms excellence. This iconic setting reflects the company’s commitment to honoring tradition while pushing the boundaries of modern firearms design. 

A Vision for Precision Engineering

Founded in 2019, Sterling Arms International was born out of a vision to create firearms that seamlessly merge precision engineering with a deep appreciation for the art and science of shooting. The company’s mission is clear: to set a new standard for semi-automatic sporting rifles by combining traditional craftsmanship with aerospace and defense technologies. While SAI’s headquarters in the UK connect it to a legacy of excellence, its engineering, design, assembly, and quality control operations are based in Calgary, Alberta. This dual presence ensures access to state-of-the-art facilities and the skilled expertise required to bring its designs to life.

Designed for Performance

Sterling Arms International has developed a lineup of four firearms—the R10 MK1, the R15 MK1, the R18 MK3, and the R9 MK1. Each of these semi-automatic sporting rifles is a testament to the company’s dedication to performance, reliability, and precision.

Elevating the Sport Shooting Experience

At its core, Sterling Arms International is driven by a purpose: to elevate the sport shooting experience and contribute to the global shooting community with products that inspire confidence and excellence. The company’s vision extends beyond manufacturing; it seeks to be a global ambassador for the sport, fostering a culture of respect, safety, and innovation.

A Legacy of Excellence

Whether on the historic grounds of Bisley or in the heart of Calgary’s engineering hub, Sterling Arms International stands as a symbol of what’s possible when heritage meets innovation. It’s more than a firearms manufacturer; it’s a brand that celebrates the precision, skill, and passion that define the world of sport shooting.
