Well, I had some pretty good trigger time with one of the original Cabela's guns. It was a 16" gun and never used it as a 223. It ran well and had the auto-regulating gas system. Ran fine with supers and subs.
Later, once SIG announced they were switching to a manual gas system, I sent both barrels in for retrofit. After that the 300BLK seemed over-gassed when suppressed regardless of gas setting or ammo. I continually had issues with the gun stovepiping. Several trips back to SIG did not fix the problem. They eventually replaced the gun under warranty with a Virtus.
This new gun seems to run fine. I've used it with both the 300BLK and 223 barrels with and without my suppressor. Granted, I don't have a ton of rounds fired.
Overall, I like the gun. It is an interesting idea. Does it really offer much that can't be had from a DI AR or one of the piston guns out there. But it does have a QD barrel and a folding stock. If those are part of your requirement you should be happy.

I’m seriously considering a 5.5” Rattler upper for my NFA registered MCX lower. I’ve done some research and it appears that 120 grain supers are coming out of the barrel at 1800 fps. That means that Barnes 110 grain TAC-TXs should get at least 1800-1850. Keep in mind that these expand down to 1400 fps.
That means the Rattler with TAC-TX pills is about the size of a MP5K and significantly improved terminal performance against common intermediate barriers. This is a pretty cool option for a travel gun that reaches out to 150 yards with authority.
I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
