The SPR-1 is a single-shot sniper rifle chambered for the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge. Referred to as a "Precision Tactical Rifle" by Pindad, the SPR-1 is in fact essentially a well-made version of a locally-available hunting rifle (probably based on the Remington 700), brought to military/police sniper standards. The rifle was developed from 2000 and pressed into service in 2003 due to arms embargoes as the Indonesian military was deployed in Aceh in anti-insurgency operations against GAM.{{Cite web |last= |date=2018-12-17 |title=SPR-1, Senapan Runduk Pertama Buatan Pindad yang Telah Teruji Perang |url=https://www.airspace-review.com/2018/12/17/spr-1-senapan-runduk-pertama-buatan-pindad-yang-telah-teruji-perang/ |access-date=2024-01-31 |website=Airspace Review |language=en-US}}

Changes from the original rifle include the addition of a Harris-type bipod adjustable for height and cant, the addition of an adjustable cheekpiece for the standard thumbhole stock, and a rail for the mounting of various scope rings. It was also based on the Mauser SP66.

The barrel also has what Pindad refers to as a "muzzle brake," but this merely consists of a pair of angled cuts near the front of the muzzle, and is therefore just a form of porting. Feed is from an internal magazine, with a hinged floorplate for reloading and unloading the weapon. The stock is of laminated, weatherproofed wood, and the metalwork of high-grade steel with a corrosion-resistant finish.{{Citation needed|date=September 2018}}
