Sig spear cost vs SCAR

[badfish71]

I haven?t been keeping up with what the cool kids are buying lately but I received an email about the SIG spear being in sale. I opened the link and thought, damn it sucks to be poor lol. $4300?? I remember when people were schiffing on the SCAR for the price around $1k less. I don?t hear any of that for the spear. Any ideas or good conspiracy theories on why there?s no complainers?

When was the scar ever $1,000 dollars?

Never. But it was $1k less at $3300.

Read that wrong. Sig fan boys will buy them.

Im considering acquiring a battle rifle and the Sig MCX is on top of my list.

Im not sure if 308 or 6.5 is the way to go. As the new US military rifle, the rifle will likely take hold, and will be around for a long time. Unless, it fails miserably in the field.

The Biden inflation plays a role, everything is too much now.

Haven’t priced a SCAR heavy in a long time. I bought mine about 8 years ago for $2700, that and my Wilson Combat by far the most I ever paid for a gun. For $4300 I’ll never own the Sig.

Your story is a good example of what Ive learned in time. Quality firearms are a good investment. As much as I can build a rifle that shoots the same caliber for less, its value over the long term will pale in comparison.

Its a treat to own them, and its not foolish to do so.

You mean Spear, right? Why would a SIG fan boy want a SCAR?!?

Sig has a large knee bending cult following.

I'll probably buy Spear Heavy. I already have a Spear LT. One of the motivating factors will be SB 28. Paying over 20% tax is a none starter. I would pick on up before the law goes into effect.

Just like the 5.7. The rounds the weapon was designed around are unavailable to civilians so why bother?

Yeah, $2600-$2800 were what SCAR17s went for around 2016 when they were the most popular battle rifle. I think SCAR17s are going for around $3800 now. So about a grand more than they used to.

The civilian versions are in more common .308 and 6.5.

Price ? Don?t worry about the price - a firearm will last you decades and can save your life - so buy what you want.

Also consider parts and caliber availability and if the mfg will stand behind your product if there?s ever a problem.

Cost of ammo - is that going to keep you home instead of heading to the range.

Other than that it?s a personal choice of what you want.
