The barrels & actions are proofed & tested in house at the GmbH Sig factory prior to shipping. They ship the parts to the US and the Exeter factory assemble the rifles with their US stock prior to distribution. Same goes for the $2800 McMillan stock SSG 3k (SRSSG-H24B-308).
 
I've also noticed that the early Patrol rifles had the 1:12 twist witch is the same barrel as the McMillan stocked version. This version had the barrel replacement or conversion option. The barrel in the newer 1:11 twist barrel Patrol rifles are crushed fitted to the action so it's impossible to swap barrels or switch calibers. The McMillan version still has the 1:12 twist bbls and therefore switching barrels is a breeze and it takes about 5 mins to do so.

If the firearm is not assembled till it gets to the USA, the target may be supplied from germany but hard to give you a target showing real accuracy untill the parts are assembled and fitted in to the stock in the USA.

You own other rifles in chamberings other than .308 Win. Why did you bother with those?

There's plenty of other people who would gladly buy one of these rifles in .260 Rem.,6.5 Creedmore, or 6.5x47mm Lapua. These would be excellent alternative choices. Naturally, .243 Win. would be popular as well.
 
Mind you that the McMillan version is available in very limited number (supposed to be discontinued by Sig USA) at around $2800... The McMillan stock by itself is over $1k up here plus waiting time.

Lol, this is an awesome deal… Other places have this for sale for thousands more, for EXACTLY the same gun with a different stock.

how is it "exactly" the same if the parts are fitted and assembled in a US factory with a different stock?

The ones for thousands more are 100% completely finished in another factory using different parts, barrel, stock, etc.

"exactly" to me means they are part for part identical made in the same factory and assembled using the same tolerances and quality control procedures.
 
It's like buying a brand new car without wheels, go to the store buy 4 different brand of new wheels and tires put them on, you will never notice that it not the original same size wheels... A good proven rifle in a different stock of quality, will still perform the same equally or better ( this would be hard since it is a top rifle from the start)... JP.

Ok Brian... What "parts" are you referring to??
They shoot a test target in GERMANY...
The only thing "assembled" in the US is the stock.
Which parts and barrel are different? There are different barrels which are both "made in Germany" and the same length?
Not trying to be a smart a** here, but I was told by one of the top guys in the SIG rifle dept.

Exactly! Good analogy...
 
Md Charlton confirmed that the barrels are quick change in another thread ! When you look at all the specs that's a sweet deal.
