SIG556

Post by baldeagle »

Cabelas has this rifle on sale for $999 right now. Is that a good price? Those of you who own or have shot one, what's your take on the gun? Top quality? Also ran? Does it compare to the AR-15? Completely different? What about mags? Interchangeable with PMAGs? Completely different?

The government has put me in the mood for buying an "assault weapon" before they ban them.

Thanks, but that doesn't answer any of my questions.

Top quality! A+ product. I love mine. I paid $1000.00 and thought it was a good deal back THEN, I would pay that price now. Is it the classic, SWAT, or a railed model?
Mags= takes anything that an AR takes.... I use PMAGS. I would compare it to: An AR-15 round and feel/features, with an AK style charging handle and recoil (recoil in the way it functions, not actual 7.62x39 vs 5.56)

It is my go-to rifle. Can't say enough good things about it.

pretty good price for an AR-ish clone. I'd snag it up at that price...

If it is 999 this week... you better buy it now! The price will skyrocket soon

Well, this is weird. I googled for Sig556 for sale, and the Cabela's link was the first one: http://www.cabelas.com/semiautomatic-si ... es-3.shtml" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

But when I go to Cabela's and work through their webpage, I don't find the 556. Only the M400 and the 716. Guess I'm gonna have to go to Cabela's to find out what's going on. :biggrinjester:

Top quality gun! I have both patrol and a swat version. I use PMAG magazines.
