They'll never import that model. They'll import a Canadian legal version. It'll be called "Retro .308" or "Black Special heavy"

JR? Redleg? Could one of you please call the nice folks over in Switzerland and tell them to watch their freaking mouths!! This thing is supposedly a refinement, not really even a derivative of the Sig 540... Not the 550! Right? Please tell me I'm right? Please?

It's own. Likely the same as one of the 7.62 Swiss made rifles already out there.

As far as I know there is a shorter version planned.

An AR platform needs all the help it can get in the accuracy dept. Hence free-floating the barrel.
The Swiss Arms series doesn't have that problem.
Pull on the sling on a sig, or shoot alternatively off the mag, and off the fore grip, and let me know. 2 of the classic *s that I have had were thin barrel, but the third had a heavy barrel. The heavy barrel one was not overly susceptible to POI creep in various positions, but the thin barrel ones sure were.
PSG-1 is also free float IIRC.

The AR design is inherently more accurate than the Swiss Arms system by virtue of it's gas system, and it's gas system makes floating the barrel easy.
The SA system would definately benefit from floating the barrel.
Well, at least the Swiss rifle can be taken out of the house to more places than the range.
