Swiss Arms SAPR in low rate production

[ilovepotatos]

Oh dear god...that is the next rifle I have to get.
Well...the next substantial one.
That is too much beauty in that rifle. Though the scope rings are hideous...

This'll probably end the marriage - oh well.

how heavy is that thing? Looks like a brick...

 

[cobra_on_speed]

sorry to dissappoint you, but it uses SIG 540 magazines.

Ah ha, I see. I was going on the pic I found, they look quite similar. Makes sense though.

 

[greentips]

That thing is going to weight a lot.

 

[HeadDamage]

Yep... it will be a real man's service rifle

Start hitting the gym now.

i figured it would only be slightly heavier than the .223 versions.

Yes, but when you see the .223 guys at the range make sure to tell them it's MUCH heavier and they would probably break it if they shot it, they're too wimpy!

 

[RevolverRodger]

Weight is a sign of reliability

My pants are tight with manly anticipation! I would love it even more double plus good time if it did'nt wreck brass on ejaculation.

No RRSP contribution next year

Wonder if it falls apart like the Sig552's?

maybe if it comes in FA, either way, won't affect me.....

Doubt it, probably stay together like the 550.
Thats the problem when you work for people who don't properly test guns before they field them, kind of like when the M16 was first adopted by the US army...

 

[greentips]

I just look up their "K" version - it is not very very K actually - it has a 18" barrel!!

I was expecting 13.5" to be "K".

To the point of damaging brass - I hope it is gentle as that will be an expensive proposition. Does anyone have any info on this. Don't mind dumping the .223's in the trash at the end of the day. But .308's - may as well wipe your arse with 20 dollar bills while your at it.

 

[Teapot]

Just keep hoping that it goes into real production so everyone, not just the Swiss, will be able to buy one. A SIG 542 would be just as nice but no one has seen fit to order any from the FAMAE factory in Chile. This could have put 308 rifles into our hands decades ago.

looks to be a good deer rifle....well thats my justification....lol

 

[RevolverRodger]

+1 on the deer rifle
Plus it does look cool
