Pros: Its a Sig. Top-notch customer service.
Cons: Extracted rds. blemish finish. Factory sights awful.

Saw the MB review Feb. 08, bought one and love it. Flip up sights no good, plan on adding optics. Did have FTFeed with Wolff Ammo, underpowered rds. May loosen up after more rds. Loves full power 5.56 milsurp, and Rem. JHP .223. Easy to take down and clean, recoil is minimal due to balance and weight. Accepts AR mags, factory trigger is great, fires as fast as the trigger can go. Accuracy is spot on with the right scope, picitinny rails all over it for accessories. Extracted rds., leave flea bite brass marks on exterior, but a simple design, on a new platform make it a great rifle.

Pros: accurate, perfect gas and mechanical system
Cons: none

I have the Sig 556 Swat model, non folding stock. I have an EO TECH with a 3X magnifier. I purchased an aftermarket cocking handle that points down thus getting it out of the way of the EO TECH.


I am well pleased with the SWAT model and since I am right handed and right eyed I think this rifle is near perfection. I don't think the FN SCAR offers me anything more than this. If I was left handed it would be a different story.


I also like the gas piston system and the modified and improved AK47 bolt system.
