How do you like the Night Force? How is the clarity/transmission in low light conditions? That's the exact scope I have been drooling over to throw on my 556 for a compact scope good for dusk varmint hunting. SigOhio, not to worry, I think she's repairable( no frame or drive train damage) did you get your semi 308 yet?

Sigohio, It's seems like a great piece of glass very clear and well made. The Illumination is great also you can turn it down when it starts getting towards evening. Turn it up to see very well in daylight if you need it for some reason. But I think if I were using it mostly for hunting coyotes, I would go with the 2.5-10x32 or something with alittle more x's. But it sits and balances very well on the sig for my purposes.

Unfortunately not yet, too many other places for the $$ to go right now. I think the REPR is topping the list for the semi-auto, and if I leaned towards a 308 bolt gun for hunging the Tikka T3 Varmint in 20" is looking nice. Baby brother to the Sako.  762nato wrote: Sigohio, It's seems like a great piece of glass very clear and well made.

Sounds great, and I agree about the larger reticle. I didn't realize at first that you had the smaller one. Thanks!

FWIW, here's a pic with a C-Mag installed:
Am thinking seriously about getting one of Magpul's new stocks, as the A2 stock is entirely too long when wearing body armor.

All I have to do is give it a nice paint job to be messed up with shooting! I finally got my Eotech from the conex back from Iraq. It started out a SIG Classic like the one above. Then I traded lowers, bought a CAA stock, Troy quad rails, guards, and sights. Fabricated a Surefire tailcap to a cheap pressure pad of of my old pellet pistol and mounted it. Along with the new charging handle and push button front take down pin. I have put a lot of money in this rifle. And now I don't have enough $ to buy more PMC .55gr for it!

SGT_Geardo nice rifle. How does that CAA stock feel? I am thinking of getting one instead of the CTR, and they are the only 2 stocks within my budget right now.

The CAA Stock is heavy but it's alright. plus I can stick four C123 batterys in it or my surefire. It's not that snug and has some movement in it, but not enough to make shooting no fun. I was thinking about gettin the CTR, I have heard it fits nicer.

Alright guys, Here it is...
Step one, SIG556 Classic... Couldn't find a picture of my own.
Step two, got Troys battle rail...
Step three, got Troys front and rear folding sights and traded lower with a friend...
Step four, got the KNS take down pin and the Griffin Charging Handle...
Step five, my Eotch 511 finally arrives at the armory from Iraq w/ GG&G covers and my CAA Stock I used on my issed M4...
Step six, modified a tail cap to one of my surefires for a cheap pressure pad and attatched it...
Step seven, painted it. I used regular rattle can paint "camo" colors. It will rub and scrape of with use but that's the idea...
The other rifle is a Savage .17 HMR. My first gun. Amature paint job.
Tell me what you think! ...questions, comments, concerns?

That is the new stock from AGP Arms. If you google them you can get the specs. Highlights: the whole assembly takes 1/2 a lb. and 6.5 inches of overall length off (folded) compared to a M4 stock assembly fully collapsed. The LOP on a 556 is said to be around 12.48" (like an M4 stock 1/2 way extended?). An AGP stock is en route to me-review to come soon. Navarone wrote: Anyone know what stock that^ is?

What better way to start posting then showing your beauty.
I'm in the netherlands, so I own an original 551.
So far i love it
I'm still looking for a nice optic to put on it, probably will go for an eotech xp2 or aimpoint m4s
If anyone ever wants a closeup of some part of the original sig version (for comparison etc., just let me know

Picked up a Magpul ACS at the funshow this morning:
Extended, it is longer than the A2. Collapsed, it is perhaps three inches shorter.

Looks good!

I've been looking at all the wonderful photos of the rifles in this thread, and I have to admit, it gave me many great ideas. But now, for me being partially disabled and not as limber as I used to be and also on a fixed income, I believe that I have a nice house rifle, which shoots and carries very well. Below are a couple of pictures of my Sig 556:

Mad Dog 7.62,
That is one good look'in SIG 5.56, clean and simple. For a rear sight on mine, I made a custom base and mounted a rear sight from a Heckler & Koch 93 and made a shorter front sight. I could not see paying the high price for the SIG sight set.
