The SIG rifles are fantastic; I have one in .280 and it's fit and finish are worthy of anything carrying the SIG name. For some reason these rifles were never very popular over here in the States but in Europe sales did quite well. Several years ago when the Dollar began to become worthless these rifles became too pricey to import so you don't see them very often, but they are well worth owning

joes,
I would consider the SIG anytime but I would definitely run away from the Colt Light Rifle. It was a design/manufacturing cluster flop.
The original design by Mel Forbes, Ultralight Arms, was and is again a true piece of craftsmanship. Colt bought the design from the original gunsmith intending on manufacturing a top-of-the-line, light rifle for the general public. The mistake was to let their own designers/engineers get a hold of it and then bring in SACO Defence as a manufacturer to help even more. The end result was a poorly designed, poorly manufactured piece of junk. It was a total failure and as a result (fortunately) reverted back to the original owner. He, by the way, has stood behind many of the failures at his own expense in order to maintain his reputation and that of the New Ultralight Arms rifles.

Thank you guys, I bought the sig ( for a steal! including a 3x9 redfield and free shipping). You guys were the reason I picked that one ( and got yelled at by the spouse- she'll get over it), thanks again for the great advise, Joe. 0
