Sig 550 vs HK 416 Assault Rifles

If I may ask, between the Sig 550 and HK 416 rifles, which would you choose, especially when it comes to accuracy and reliability?
Thanks.

Are you asking for use as a primary use rifle for serious work? Or are you just speaking about a fun blaster at the range?

I'm not sure a lot of people are going to have much first hand experience with actual 416s, let alone the ability to have side by side experience with them vs. a 550.

A few people here have 550s but that's about it.

Well I had an actual vented gas block 10.4 factory 416 upper and still own a Swiss arms 553. So...

Secretariat, do you literally mean the 550 or are you speaking of the 55X series of rifle of rifles in general?

So I'm one of those with zero experience with either. So I just looked up the SIG 550 and it appears to be a classic SIG military rifle, probably hard to find or get whereas the HK 416 is still available? I think? So given the choice I would go with the classic SIG because I can still get the HK.
