Meh, I don't think it looks half bad with the cheek riser removed, or with the different stocks.

Great gun and solid value at those $1,199 starting bids. Wish they made a 14.5" version with the pinned muzzle brake though.

That's cheaper than the Ruger SR556 is going for (on gunbroker), and you get a lot more for you money IMO. Hopefully someone on here picks on up. Would love to see a range report.

Nice. Hopefully the Russian variant will hit stores soon. If it is close to that price I will be on it in a second.

Waiting for accuracy reviews on the 7.62x39 version. Will want to SBR one if they are favorable.

I won't be replacing my 556R any time soon. I don't need the caliber conversion aspect because I don't keep anything in 5.56...I hate that round.
That pistol grip looks like it's off of a HiPoint. LMFAO!! |

I like the concept of the 556Xi but its not for me. I sill prefer a clone of the 55x series (aka 551a1 and 556). The 556R is also a great value.

Looks like they plan on offering a 14.5" barrel. I actually think the grip looks fairly comfortable, but I would like to be able to use different AR grips. Maybe they'll eventually offer a lower that accepts AR grips (if this one doesn't already), as well as has an ambi bolt release? |

I won't be selling my 556R now that I have it set up with MI front sight, Troy rear and Aimpoint Pro, but at least this rifle comes with sights!
In addition to what I think is horrible marketing (why not Sig 762R instead of 556R), they should have at least issued it with decent basic iron sights, and the buyer always has the option of swapping them out if they desire. Call me old fashion, but if I spend big bucks on a rifle (have M4, CAR-15A2, HK91, DSA FN Congo and Belgium FN FAL, SAR-1 AK), when you pull it out of the box, after a clean and lube, it should be ready for the range. |

I looked at one at the store today. I am wondering when they ll have 7.62 in? The store was unboxing it and apparently it only came with one barrell, so do we know how they are going to market the other parts and the other lower?

I haven't got to handle one of these yet, but I actually like the looks of this rifle.
It doesn't look overly bulky like most of the new rifles released the last several years. |

Saw one today at Conroe Gun Show. I THINK the price was in the $1300+ range.
It is DEFINITELY a better balanced weapon than the Sig556. |

Looks like a nice rifle. I would be wary of the QC issues also. Whish sig would have arrived at this first before going through 3 other variations.

I have to agree that the XI rifle, particularly the 7.62x39 configuration, should sell well... but I think the 5.56 market is too crowded for that variant to be a breakout hit though.
Anybody who wanted a 55X either has one already or is going to have to ice down their blue balls because the 551A1 was as close as Sig USA was going to get. |

Wonder if the aftermarket will offer barrels. Might be cool to have a 10" 6.5 Grendel.
I always wondered why sig never offered at least the pistols in 6.8. Perfect fit for a SBR. |
