I've been allowed,(by my other half) to purchase a christmas present for myself, i've narrowed it down to either the sig556 hologram, or the sabre xm15-m4, or the armalite ar-10. i'm leaning more to the sig, but have not heard much about it, so I put up a poll here to help me out on my decision. any info on any of the trio would be much appreciated.

i wouldnt limit myself to ar-typish rifles ;)

But out of those the sig seems most exotic/coolest/reliable.


Maybee look into a nice HK or hrmm HK?

for some reason hk's have never sparked my interest, the only one i've ever liked was the mp5. my friend has sl8 and it beats up the brass to much for my liking, I prefer to reload most of my ammo and the dings that it puts in them makes 50% of them unreloadable.

A guy on the Corral has a Sig 556 and he says it's cool enough but feels like the entire gun is made out of flimsy plastic.

I've heard the same, I may run up to spec. sports and fondle a couple of diferent rifles today, and see what feels better. besides its snowing like hell here and it's not there, so even that is reason enough.

decision made, after holding the m1 socom, ar10, bushmaster and pof piston ar's, and the sabre m4, I pulled the trigger on the sig 556 holo. today.

ive heard they took so much flak from people about how a $1300.00+ weapon dont have sights, they now come with a sigtac hologram red dot sight, if you scroll down a little there is a pic. of the sight in the link below.

it was less than 100 bucks more with than without, so im sure its no acog.[Flower] I got a really good deal on it, it was cheaper than spec. sports wanted, and theirs had no sights.

it has arrived, and thanks to the so called "[Shake]insta check[Shake]" I was in the gun shop for over an hour, and it got dark. so now I have to stare at it until tomorrow after I get off work.

I took her out today for the first time to the ranch, ran through 5 mags. one to sight in the red dot, four for fun, I love the trigger and it is a really accurate weapon, all my three round sight in groups could be covered with a .50 cent piece, most with a quarter @ 100 yards, after sighting it in I took out several jack rabbits, and praire dogs. all with great accuracy, and not a problem at all with the 556, I did not even clean it after I took it out of the box, still had the white grease sprayed in the chamber. over all I'm happy with it, and I can honestly say it is more accurate than my m-4's, as far as fun factor they all rate about the same.
