Just picked this one up today. I'd been wanting a Sig 556 rifle ever since they came out, but [as it wisely turned out] waited till now to get one. Glad I waited, I paid $1525 instead of the roughly $2200 they were going for 5 or 6 months ago. I plan on taking it out to the range tomorrow and getting it zeroed.
I've also got these:
The M1A was my first rifle and I love that thing to death. The ammo is just so bloody expensive, I can barely afford to shoot it. The Rock River Arms LAR-15 in 22LR is the fun gun and was my first evil black rifle, complete with bayonet lug
. I've got some 25 round mags for it and mostly use it for CQB drills and shooting at man size targets out to 100 yards. I can afford to shoot off 200 rounds or more of 22LR and not worry about how much I'm spending. The M1 Garand was manufactured in June of 1944 according to it's serial #. I've fired maybe 30 rounds with it, but it's just a collector piece really. At over a dollar a round I can't afford to shoot it anyways.
So, I'm not really sure what's my favorite. I love the M1A, I love the M1 Garand (if for no other reason then that it's a piece of history and it might have very well shot a German, Jap, Korean, or Chinese dude), I love the LAR-15 22LR for good cheap fun, and I'm sure I'll love the Sig 556. All I know so far is it breaks down easy and I like the stock, rail, and irons. Plus it's a Sig and I have yet to hear anything bad about anything they make.
