SHOT SHOW 2010 - SIG 516 and SIG E2

[raks]

I'd like to know if those new p226 grips fit the older model

At least one source reported that the new grips will fit the old frames, BUT you will need a new hammer strut and other internal parts.

Leupold CQBSS 1.1-8x24mm

Here are some specs Leupold gave us at SHOT. However, the units were all prototypes and the design and specs may be different on the production models. Sorry for the poor focus.

The main design features is the 1.1-8x magnification in a 34mm tube, which is adjusted by the huge tube which extends from the magnification ring back. This allows the user to use the entire hand to crank the magnification. The scope is equipped with M118 LR (175 grain 7.62 NATO) BDC dials, which are designed with a quick-change capability. Adjustments are down by pinching the knob, and turning the dials to avoid accidental adjustments, and has 0.10 mil adjustments with 10 mil per revolution. The reticle is a front focal plane Horus H27. This thing is much bigger than the compact Nightforce scopes and weighs 647g before the massive mount.

Other specs include:
Linear Field of view (ft @100y): 92.0-14.7
Linear Field of view (m @100m): 31.0-4.9
Exit pupil (mm): 8.0-3.0
Weight: 23.2 ounces, 657 grams
Length: 11.75 inches, 29.85 cm
mounting space: 6.5 in, 16.5 cm
Objective aperture: 24mm
Eye relief: 3.7-3.3 in, 93.9-83.8 mm

It is a first focal plane - which means it is like the SHOT dot - the recticle appears to be bigger when the magnification is cranked up.

Hey Folks...just got back from SHOT show myself...great show overall.

Greentips...did you happen to get any pictures of the new SIG 556 - the ones I took were pretty blury. This is the gun that I am pretty excited about seeing in Canada...hopefully they'll come out with a 18.5" barrel version (hopefully the same for the ACR).

I think my favourite gun at the show though was the Stoeger Side by Side defense

That bolt carrier is very different, does the gas tube extend far into the upper receiver?

No, it's a piston.

We had a discussion with Leupold rep at the show. The scope is in development stage so a price is not set yet. When they asked us what we think the price should be, we told them it should be about 1200USD.......i

What was their response when you mentioned that selling price to them?

 

[wicked_police]

I think a response to being told that optic should be at the $1200 price point would deserve the same kind of treatment that was given at the LaRue booth.

My response would have been to laugh and turn and walk away while muttering something under my breath about airsofters.

Are the Sig516 permitted in Canada (any or all models)?
