sid sauer 556 classic
« on: November 18, 2012, 01:32:40 PM »
I am drooling over one, any comments??  VERY nice trigger out of the box, but probably not as much stuff available as there is for the AR platform.

And what about cranking a few rounds off at 630-700AM at camp.  That would wake the kids almost as fast as me shooting a little trap at that time. ;D  Eric has no issues with morning shooting....

Nice gun BTW.  Although, I'm partial to Rock River.  If you're interested in a Rock, call Chris first he knows a master dealer for Rock.

A neighbor, NCC cop has a Rock River, nice trigger, short barrel for his patrol car.   I did some searching on the net for stuff for the sig, very little available, but most dealers were out of stock on the rifles.  I like to work on my own guns, so need stuff and info. Was considering building an AR kit, and make it the way I want it.  Too expensive to buy it that way.  Basically, I want a match type rifle at an off the shelf price.  Only way is to build it myself.

I did that on the last weekend shoot.  Had my 45.  Some suspected it was not a .22

I'd contact Chris to put you in touch with Joe.

It does look quite nice....however, the lack of aftermarket support would be a deal breaker for me.

So I think you need to ask yourself what you really want to do w/the rifle ?  If you are a tinkerer, I'd look for a standard AR/M4 type.

I personally don't care for it, I really like the AR platform. If you want a nice trigger treat yoourself to a Geissele trigger.

After doing a bunch of searching on the net, I have swung back to the AR.  Lots of kits available and lots of options.  Thanks for the tip on trigger.

Well, for me...  The 1st one I shot was built on a RRA lower.  Then when I was ready to buy, RRA was recommended.
So that is the direction I took when I purchased.  Earlier this year, a student of mine I found out is a master dealer for RRA.
Cant beat his discount.

Mine has been very reliable and accurate.

My neighbor has a RR, short barrel.  He is NCC police detective and that is his trunk gun, but it is his rifle.  Very nice trigger right out of the box.  Shooting his is one thing that got me hooked on the AR to start with.

Yep..........ended up with a Rock River AR national match, 20" SS barrel, 556/223.  Everything moving is chrome, w/two stage trigger, very nice.
