There are those that agree with your opinions/statements and those that don't.
You will find that most on this board do not.
Most here tend to prefer Colt over Sig, as you might have already noticed.
Why are you so emotional about this particular issue?
Sure not worth getting rash or uptight about...
uniquesnd - stop with the bizarre rants and insults. If you want to discuss things, discuss them. But if you want to insult people here, you'll be gone. I cannot be more clear than that. I don't know what other sites you visit or post on, and I don't really care. But we don't act like that here.
No more warnings. Behave or go away.
I would buy a Colt 6920 instead.
I'm just curious, out of all the rifles you listed have you taken any to high round counts? Like 10k+? The reason I ask is owning a gun and shooting a gun are two different animals, most people I know that tout "hobby grade" guns as being "just as good" aren't shooters, they're collectors. People here tend to recommend colt and other high end brands because they have proven themselves to be worthy of their price not by fit and finish, options, or feel, but by holding up to strenuous levels of shooting. Colt, DD, BCM, etc have consistently proven to hold up to high levels of abuse, when the hobby grade guns have a track record of failure. Does sig fall into top tier or hobby grade? Who's shot one to the point of failure? Most things I read about the m400's reliability goes something like "I shot 500 rounds through my m400 and its been flawless". I'm not saying sig AR's are crap, I'm just saying they have nowhere near the track record of colts, DD, BCM, novekse, etc, and when the price difference is only 10-15%, why bother with something with no history vs something that's proven? Seems like a no brainer to me.

I have around 500 or so through the Sig about 1000 through the DPMS very little through the colt and around 1500 or so through the bushy now my built Ar's I am not going to include since they are not something you can go pick up at your local Wally-World. Here is a link where they run 10,000 rounds of steel cased ammo through four bushmasters for a total of 40,000 rounds and all of them held up through the test! But you know bushmasters are crap........

I bought my Colt 6920 from Grant a little over a year ago for something close to $960 if I remember correctly. With the extras I had added it was right at $1200 (sopmod stock, ASAP end plate, and a battlecomp) assembled and shipped. Why on earth would you go with anything else for that price?
As far as TDP not mattering...Well I can tell you I've had a few AR's before I knew better that didn't meet it (DPMS and CMMG) and they jammed all the time. Had quite a few stuck cases with the CMMG as well. My Colt 6920 hasn't had that problem after almost 8k rounds..and there are members on this board that have put tons more than that through theirs. The TDP isn't the end all be all test of quality, as some companies do go a step further. What the TDP does do however is set the bar for a rifle to meet as far as quality and reliability goes. Any maker who honestly uses the TDP will AT WORST meet the requirements It demands. What does Sig do to measure theirs? Do they even have a means of measuring the quality of there rifles, or do they send them out with question marks? If they do, is it consistent?..
Not to mention with the quality control issues Sig has had as of late, is the extra money not worth the peace of mind? (I do own a Sig btw, a P226 to be exact so this isn't just bias speaking). Peace of mind is worth it to me.
