Re: Sig 556 Patrol SWAT or 6940?
He speaks the truth. Its not light, but its not terrible either, just make sure you get a comfortable sling if you're going to be walking around with this at the lease or something like that.Beiruty wrote:SIG 556, which I own one, is heavier and once accessorized and scoped it would be more heavy. Make sure you hit the Gym. lift some irons and have Biceps like those of Arnold. Good shooter and loves the 62gr bullets.

Re: Sig 556 Patrol SWAT or 6940?
I don't know about the Colt but I have a 556 that I've been fairly pleased with.
Just remember, its a battle rifle...not a precision shooter.
You should expect minute of MAN more than MOA.
Its not terrible by any means as far as accuracy and I think most of my issues came down to having the scope rings cranked down way too tight. I had to send my upper back to Sig after I broke off one of the screw housings in the top rail. I have yet to get back to the range once figuring out that I had my rings too tight.
As far as reliability, I have only had one FTF but that was due to a bad primer. I may have had one or two FTE but they are very few and far between. I've got 2000-3000 rounds though mine and it has been ok so far.
Cleaning is a breeze and it doesn't even need to be cleaned as often as some people think they need to clean their weapons.
I'm not sure I'd buy another one but I'm pleased with the one I have.
Here is a little report I put together on the 556 and accuracy.
