I plan on picking up a Sig 556 Classic hopefully next week, the rifle comes with the Sig dot sight. What's your opinion on this sight? The dealer says that they'll take $200 off of the price if I let them keep the sight.
Thoughts/Opinions? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
| Most of the opinions I have read about the Sig branded red dot sight are negative, like NCStar level quality. However I just got a Classic recently and the sight is not as bad as I had been led to believe. I have an EOTech on one rifle and an Aimpoint on the other and I can tell you it is DEFINITELY not that level of quality. However it feels fairly solid and the dot is bright, brighter than I expected and they claim its a no parallax optic. It is definitely higher quality than the NCStar devices I have seen. In my opinion it seems more of a sporting type device as opposed to a rugged battle/military optic. I have not had the chance to use it in action yet so you may want to gather some other opinions, but I would call it "fair" at best. |
| Hell yeah, take the discount. It's a low quality Chinese piece of shit that only has artificial value because it has SIG stamped on it. I can't remember the company that made it offhand, I had the link saved before I reformatted, but it's a budget optics company like NCStar. Save the cash and save for a regular Aimpoint or a real Aimpoint Micro. |

The glass cracked on my brothers within a couple weeks of buying his SIG. yes, he bumped it, so can't completely blame SIG, though it would be nice if it were a little less fragile.
Speaking of this.. is there any kind of life-time no-fault warrantee on this I should know about? |

For $200 no question. I say the tipping point is around $125... I disagree. Wasting $125 is pointless. Put that $125 towards ammo and learn to use your irons more effectively -OR- put that $125 towards some good glass, buying crap just because you can makes no sense to me. If you need a cheap RDS for a .22 or something, you can find them much cheaper than $125. |
Oh yeah take a pass on the cheap ass sig optic.

They sold the rifle before I had a chance to pick it up (My SCAR came in before I expected it to) but I'm probably going to pick up an early 556 in a trade next week, this is what you need, it would go nice with your SCAR http://sigforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/350601935/m/55510015 |
