I'll rank them in a few categories off the top of my head as I'm not looking at them as I write this:
Reliability:
Tie---All have been 100% with the exception of a bad bakelite mag I had that has had failure to feed issues in all 3 so I don't put that on the rifles.
Accuracy (these are a sample size of 1 ICA, 2 WW74s, and 1 SGL31 all with 7N6):
1. ICA
2. Waffen Werks
3. SGL31
Finish:
1. ICA
2. WW74
3. SGL31
Expected durability:
1. SGL 31 (proven CHF CL barrel and new parts)
2. ICA (mine has the CHF CL barrel but it doesn't have the history of the SGL's barrel yet) and the parts looked like they had very little, if any use when I got them)
3. WW74 (4140CL barrel and the parts kit on 1 of the 2 rifles I have seemd to show moderate use before I got it; the other didn't)
Bang for the buck in today's market:
1. ICA
2. WW74
3. SGL 31
Customer service:
1. ICA/WW (tie---both are excellent)
2. Arsenal (this is a
HUGE margin between the top 2. Many here know my experience with my SGL-21 and its' trigger and trying to get that resolved [i.e. bang head against concrete wall---repeat] )
Availibility:
1. ICA (you may have to wait but you can confirm an order)
2. WW74 (they're being made but getting one from Atlantic or RRC seems hit or miss these days because they don't stay in stock for more than an hour or 2)
3 SGL31 (at the moment)
I like all 3 rifles
and would have 0 issue trusting my life to any of them in a gunfight, which is what I suppose really matters, so it's really splitting hairs here. The SGLs are commanding too high of a price these days for me; likely due to their reputation over the others.
