who is getting the new sig 522 rifle???

[jachrist]

hey guys,

just curious about who is planning on purchasing the new Sig 522 that was just announced???

I know that there is a lot of Sig love on this board, and the attractive price tag (MSRP of $515) helps alot. I don't know how to post pics or I would supply for those who haven't seen it yet. So... anyone who has pics please feel free to post galore.

You buying? If so, I'll take two please.

Actually I think they look pretty neat. Unfortunately my firearms purchase priorities are not scheduling a dedicated semi-auto 22lr for quite some time. In the meantime I'll make do with my AR conversion and remington 504T.

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard of it yet, but now I want one. Just a little more info, it has 30rd magazines. I couldn't find that listed in the specs until I downloaded the pdf from the Sig website.

I'm definitely getting one!

I'll take either the sig or a gsg-5
Both would be fun at the range, and cheap to shoot

It's fugly. I think I'd rather get a Spike's Tactical dedicated .22LR upper for the AR.
