Looks well-made... what does a gun like this cost?

Haha before I say the price let me sort of justify it ;D

I chose this over a normal ar-15 for several reasons, the biggest being the piston system. Essentially uses the same system as an AK, very reliable and easy to clean. Ive always loved sig rifles as well so that was another big factor.

While it depends on which version you get, the base gun with a side folding stock is around $1349, keep in mind though ive added swiss made 551 hand guards and a magpul ctr stock. So that ll add about $200. The eotech retails for around $520 but I got that one brand new for $360, so I jumped on it.

I have a Bushmaster ar-15 and comparing the two is like apples and oranges, while they shoot the same caliber, that's about the only similarity.

I'm sure that's more info than you wanted but I'm in a bit of a typing mood. ;)

So this is the actual gun, shoots 5.56?  Not airsoft?  It almost looks like a LSCAR.  

Very nice setup, and I like the photo too, looks very professional, like a magazine ad...

Shoots 5.56, ive kinda gotten out of airsoft as of late, still have some guns, but the real ones are a little more satisfying :)

I'll also toss in a little Bushmaster action 8-) Got two eotechs for a reason ;D

I wish I had the money to invest in stuff like that but for now I'll stick with my M91/30, and .50 cal muzzle loader  ;)

I laughed my arse off when I first heard the term "boomstick". Partially because it was a big ol guy with a shotgun. ;D

the .50 is by far my favorite to mess with

It doesn't have as much kick as you would expect and its accurate for shooting lead balls.

 A very nice looking rifle indeed.  :) It has tones of the M-16 A2.  I like it, but I somehow can't see it next to my old "cowboy" Winchesters, Marlins and Colts.

Sig 556, SCARS are only available in DE I think. If I could actually find one, chances are it would be m next purchase.
