Yiffing no.

Yiffing no.

OOOOOH! the .277 FuRy! Gotcha.

 

[COOPADUP]

Same size round as a 308, but 3000 fps.
Interesting.

You'll need that lawyer money to afford one though (7999.00)

You know I am far above having fun on the Internet.

Once this starts hitting the shelves, how much do we think the ammo will be going for? $2/pop?

Sig has some ammo up on their site: ~$2/ rd for FMJ and $4+/rd for expanding.

They have a 6.5CM and a .308 version in the works. Those will be hot items. I had been considering a SCAR now that they have the NRCH, but this might have just supplanted it.

I own many Sig pistols and rifles. The quality is top notch!

I'll be curious to see where they price this.

It's already priced, at least these 'first editions' but at 8K, don't count on other versions really being that affordable.

I like how the sig rep made sure to insist it'd be affordable, and then it releases at $8k.

At that point, might as well just buy a barrett.

 

[PRasko]

So an 8,000$ rifle with proprietary ammo….

vs what? A 6.5 creedmor patterned ar that cost 1/4th that price?

hmmmm let me think about that one…

I think this initial package comes with the suppressor plus other things but we'll have to wait to see what they consider affordable.

At least spellchecker didn't change it to fluffy!

 

[Angrysauce]

It's an $8k current military trials rifle that fires a $4/round hybrid cased round. Said round produces 80k psi of chamber pressure, propelling a 135gr projo to 3000 fps out of a 16 inch barrel; nothing like a 2-3 case barrel life.
This release was never for the average joe blow. It's the deep pocketed, early adopting, militaria collector. If it gets picked up by the .Gov don't expect it to get cheaper.

If it gets .gov contracts, production will have to be spooled up, and thanks to the scaling infrastructure, it would become much cheaper.

AR15s were pretty expensive at release too.

Yes, spellchecker . . . that's right.
