I owned a SIGM400. It was a fine rifle. I would not put it in the same class as a BCM, COLT, DD or Noveske. It was accurate enough and ran fine for me for the few thousand or so rounds I ran through mine. IMHO it is better than most of the commercial type AR rifles available in terms of quality and overall fit and finish and function. I felt it was definitely a step or three above a RRA or Bushmaster.
The SIGM400 would serve most users just fine for recreational type shooting and probably the occasional carbine course and in the home defense role.
Current AR pricing is now so crazy that once less expensive commercial quality rifles are priced nearly the same as the mil spec + crowd. As a consumer why would anyone pay the same price or nearly the same price for a lesser product? Sure when PSA rifles where $650 why not get a couple. I did. Same with the M400. I bought mine on impulse for about $800 back about a year or so ago. I wanted to give it a try and knew that I would not have it forever. I planned on playing with it for a while and eventually sell it. I had my fun and sold it. I would not buy the M400 today when I can get a COLT 6920 for nearly the same price.
