This is a first.

The US military is replacing the main battle rifle. And - you can buy them now.

https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/...sig-sauer/

The civilian version is semi- auto and chambered in .277 Fury - rather than the military grade full auto chambered in 6.8 SPC.

Cost - $8000 - so you can shoot ammo that costs $3 a round.


I think I will pass.....

Hmph

Do they ship to NZ?

Buy,................. nope. The last sig I owned (SSG 3000/308/bipod) I/we were trying for a 1000 yd shot. Played with it all summer, only got to 800 yds consistently, then sold it that fall to an elk hunter.

But let me know when RPG's come up for sale.

I'm holding out for a high power man- portable laser.

No more compensating for drop or coreolis effect...

The enemy no longer needs to shoot back.   They just need some corner reflectors.

OLB states $3.00 a round.
