SIG 751 SAPR

[ralfabco]

I have owned the Elcan and still own the Kahles. It is the clear winner when comparing the two. Mine currently lives on my Larue when it is wearing its 16in 308 barrel. I might move it to the SAPR part time when I get my 260 barrel zeroed on the Texan. I can't think of a scope better suited for 751 SAPR than the Kahles. I have only two complaints, if you could call them that. The turrets turn backwards, and the reticle could get a little dimmer for low light hunting. I was blown away how well the Kahles did in low light this last hunting season.

Thanks Rob. I will purchase the Kahles after I obtain the SAPR. Perhaps Kahles may introduce additional reticle options, at Shot 18. Going with the TA-44 ACSS with the 553 LB. I can't think of something better.

If I could change one thing it would be the integrated flash hider. I would prefer a normal threaded barrel. I can live with the barrel length.

JoshNC, Seeing as you are affilitated with B&T, do you know if the Rotex V will fit on the SAPR flashider?

Integral flash hider is a bummer. I will check into the Rotex V. At first blush i believe it will work.

SM-1 is fantastic. No real need for anything better on a 0-600m rifle. Wind holds would be nice but really not needed for its intended role.

If JDI ever closed shop, would you be able to find a spare magazine?

From Switzerland I’m sure you could. But it would be pricey.

Hope youve prepared your wallet. Theyre gonna import a 751 with either a 16 or 20 barrel, threaded, so that we can can it.
Very interesting times.

Honestly the 550 is the only piston gun I've ever shot that produced accuracy comparable to the AR and their ability to run in less than optimal conditions are legendary. But I wouldn't expect much in terms of accuracy from a 14" barrel no matter who made it. Colt, HK or SIG it's still a 14" barrel shooting .308 which sacrifices quite a bit of potential.

If they ever come in with a 16" or 18" barrel I'd be all over it.

Prayers have been answered.

I feel it is like 1988 again - before the action of the a-hole - Patrick Purdy.




History repeats itself. I assumed I was ahead of the curve, when I dumped my NIB 550 to Vollmer's for $2,800. I will get the chance to drool over that weapon again. Thanks Dave. You do make dreams come true.

Yep. Call in and reserve your 550 gents. 20in barrel, steel grey lower, and green furniture with diopter. Oh and a 1in7 barrel for our 77grs....

Everything is out of stock/back ordered, no actual complete firearms seen on the website, and doesn't respond to e-mail.

Is there some place to actually see what is being imported?

Thinking of selling my preban 550sp2 and using the money for another 550, a 751, and a 551 lb.
