Typical SIG these days. Make 50 variations of the same cheapened gun to see how many they can push out the door for the good of the "shareholders".
Each time maybe a step of two closer to the 551 cosmetically but I am not sure who can just justify a weapon made this cheaply that will need $50 mags. Though CDNN did allow me to stock on them for my 552.

I took a sig 556ER in on trade. Thought it would make me want a SCAR less. Well it's my least favorite rifle in the safe right now. I'm going to give it a little more of a chance to grow on me. It's front heavy and my ar's are more accurate.

It's a SIG 556 Classic that uses the SIG 556R lower, lol.

Even worse will be those who truly think they own a US 550 series because they have no way of understanding the difference. Just look how many 556 owners don't understand, including a few who actually think they are just as good (or in a few cases better) than Swiss produced SIG rifles.
I'm just thankful that a few people have snapped up those 552 Title 1 guns. We needed a few more genuine SIG owners who understand.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

So close...like getting ready to bust that nut, and the doorbell rings. C'mon SIG. Get your act together and stop torturing us!

It will have the same sloppy fit. The same cheap/toyish handguards. The same general lack of anything resembling quality control. But it does look more like a proper Sig 550.

The US made 55X series would be better used for airsoft internals.

Hmm,
I'm of the opinion that building the 556 to accept STANAG/AR15 magazines was about the only thing SIG did right.
So with this rifle, I will get the same crappy build quality of the 556, the peening on the bolt face, crap shoot gas regulator, poor quality sights, AND be forced to buy a propitiatory magazine
I soo wanted a 556 at first. Now I'm pretty sure a 522 will be the closest I'll ever consider getting.

“The ruling class doesn’t care about public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest mistake.” – former U.S. Sen. Malcolm Wallop (R-Wy.)
