The EBR comes nowhere close to the accuracy of the SR-25, at least not in my experience. I have fired both at distances to 1000 yds with match ammo, and on pure accuracy, the SR-25 wins (sub-MOA if I'm doing my job). With that said, I agree that the EBR is more reliable. The SR-25 is a far tighter weapon, hence its better accuracy, and its lower tolerance of crud (way less tolerant than my M-4). I have had far more double feeds and failures to extract with the SR-25 than the EBR. At the same time, I also had an EBR bolt literally fall apart when chambering a round. I actually don't fault the weapon really, as they are reconditioned Vietnam era weapons, something is bound to break with that much usage. I also prefer the SR-25's ergonomics. I used a Mod 0 EBR, and the ergonomics were nowhere near that of the M-16 style weapons. The SR-25 is also a lot simpler to take down for detailed cleaning. To detail clean the EBR requires removing 6+ (if I remember correctly) screws, which must all be re-torqued after they are removed. Thankfully, the interval for that detailed of a cleaning is relatively long...
