Sig is making a Sig 556 rifle that is chambered for .22LR.
No.
They're making a .22lr rifle that looks like a Sig 556.

Price is pretty awesome too... looks like $649.99 Canadian.
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.

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.

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.

What I really want to know is what the #### they've been doing for the last few months with both the Colt .22 and the M&P15/22. Both are supposedly in the country and still "under review". I smell another T97 fiasco.What are the odds that the RCMP ignore the technical data, and ignore case law (the Henderson ruling), and make this rifle prohib as a variant, like they did with the GSG5?
MARK!
When can I send you payment for the SIG? Are you accepting prepayments - in full? It's only 100$ more than the SR22 I just purchased, and am sure one of my "rats" will claim it
But I can tell you - NO ONE will get there grubbies on my SIG!!
Thanks!
