Motivated by the July 7, 2016, Dallas police ambush, RISE Armament set out to ensure that no criminal ever outguns a police officer. We made it our mission to develop a supremely accurate, highly dependable rifle that’s affordable on a law enforcement budget. The RISE Armament Watchman LE is that rifle.
We developed the Watchman with input from SWAT/SOT/SRT officers, patrol officers, military snipers, competitive shooters, and firearms instructors. We wanted to ensure it combined the best in functionality, accuracy, dependability, and affordability. From a squad car to an entry team, it’s duty ready right out of the box.
- Watchman™ LE — .223 Wylde chambered; accurate with both .223 and 5.56 ammunition
- RISE advanced flash hider as four-prong flash hider ensures flash minimization in low-light environments to avoid affecting the user's night vision capabilities.
- Watchman LE has our CB-160 barrel with 1:7 twist, 1/2 x 28 threads, and mid-length gas system for more manageable recoil.
- RISE LE handguard — The 13.5-inch handguard has a continuous 12 o-clock top rail
