Sig is advertising a new rifle that has the look and feel of a Sig 556. Is there any chance of getting one in Canada,because I really really want one.

That would be awesome.
Ludicrously so.

Oh yeah. I fear that I would spend way too much money on that rifle.
I don't get that comment?
Sig is making a Sig that looks like a Sig and feels like a Sig....

Sig is making a Sig 556 rifle that is chambered for .22LR.
Not at all. The only comparison to the 556 is appearance. Different receiver and not interchangeable. If it were a "SIG 556 rifle that is chambered for .22LR" then it would be classified as a Prohibited Variant.
The SIG 522 is awesome. It is the best running .22lr semi-auto rifle we've ever tested. We dumped magazine after magazine through it and never had a single fail to feed or jam... not one. We tried various ammo... ran flawlessly. Slow fire or rapid... ran like a clock.
The gun feels great and shoots great... and looks great
RCMP have the sample we supplied them... hopefully we'll hear back in the next month or two with their classification decision.
If it's classified as a non-restricted then I'll be buying the first one personally.

Thank you Questar.
Don't thank me... it's what we do
Besides, I wanted one myself the moment I saw it. Now that I've shot it I want it even more.
Price is pretty awesome too... looks like $649.99 Canadian.
We have the S&W AR-22 and the COLT/Umarex AR-22 here as well (waiting for classification review by RCMP)... I can tell you that they don't come even close to the SIG522 (in my opinion).
I don't think much of the COLT... the S&W looked far better... and then we got to handle the SIG522 and it blew us away.
SIG has really surpassed expectations on this one.

Any likelihood of a non-prohibited 556 version becoming available, or is it an issue with the receiver itself? If the ongoing variant appeal by the RCMP (R. v Henderson) goes our way would this potentially open the door for say a fixed stock version of the 556 to be importable?

Put me down for one if you have a list going.
Sounds like a fantastic addition to the rimfire section of the safe.
