Advantage of a Sig 556 over a conventional AR-15

**CDR_Glock** · 01-25-12, 23:21

I have an AR-15. I shoot it for leisure. I have considered keeping it for home defense but my 12 gauge seems to do that.

The Sig 556 interests me. What additional advantages does it give a user?

You guys are just prejudiced... a Sig bests an AR in many ways.

- If you are a 110 lb. weakling, a Sig will build your muscles up faster.
- A Sig will help you improve your Google-foo skills trying to find parts way more than an AR will.
- Any wimp can "accessorize" an AR but it takes a real man to just find simple things for a Sig, like good sling points?
- I seldom get comments about my AR trigger but I always got comments about the Sig trigger - "What up with that mushy trigger?"
- A Sig makes a much better boat anchor than an AR.

And lastly...Selling my Sig gave me way waaayyy more satisfaction and enjoyment than all of the AR's I have sold put together.

But maybe it's just me...

Not sure I would call a 556 a precision rifle either. Having shot one, I wouldn't trade my AR for it.

Exactly... I almost choked when I read this title in the Precision forum.

The Sig 556 is a turd compared to the AR. I used to shoot with a Sig Fanboy. I laughed when he struggled to put the piece of crap back together after field stripping it.
