I know, I know ...

I just gotta quit posting so much. But I just bought a Sig 556 swat . Couldn't pass it up .also bought the Bushnell red /green dot sight ,and 500 rds. Of 5.56 .
Eventually ,I'll replace the Bushnell sight with something better.

Some people just look at pictures when flipping through a magazine. Forums are no different.

Frogspit- I've had an itch for one of those for a while. Of course it's kinda below another itch or two for the time being. Mind telling us what you paid for the whole shebang?

Actually, I think your choice was a good one.

I have been looking at the SIG rifles. I'm a confirmed SIG pistolero, but I haven't owned one of their rifles yet. I've shot a couple, and for mid level AR's, they seem to be pretty good choices. The fit and finish look to be very good.

First, post a pic. Second, get to the range and let us know what you think.

Lmao. Frog, you have to learn how to get thread views here. First you need to put "AR15" in your title and in every other sentence. Next you need to ask whats better (either that or the Mini 14. ) Then you need to complain about your steel cased ammo in your AR and then about why your mosin nagant isnt shooting accurately enough.
