SIG has announced that they're releasing a civvie version of their NGSW entrant. https://www.sigsauer.com/mcx-spear.html
Initial model is 13" suppressed model in .277 Fury (6.8x51mm). "First Run Collector's Edition". I'm sure they'll have many, many more editions.
MSRP: $8k.
It will look like a good deal if the military ends up buying it.
The way they released it makes me suspect they've won.
If I was an aggressive marketer and wanted to recoup my losses, I would have released versions in .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor with 16" barrels and separate cans.
Why is it $8K? Is it really worth 8 Colt 6920s?
Or they lost and they want to cash in on the buzz before everyone remembers it as the small arms program that the Army killed after it couldn't get the telescoping ammunition it wanted.Originally Posted by jbrimlow
I’m very interested in that ammunition design. It looks like the bi-metal cased stuff will go for $4 per round.
Per the PF Code of Conduct, I have a commercial interest in the StreakTM product as sold by Ammo, Inc.
A friend of mine summed this up perfectly: "So we're still in the VHS vs Betamax stage right?"
Edited to add for you youngsters:
"...or Blu-Ray vs HD DVD."

Almost 9 mil prices! 🤣🤣I’m very interested in that ammunition design. It looks like the bi-metal cased stuff will go for $4 per round.
sorry, I know this didn’t add information to the discussion, but, humor…
It’s $8k because the people paying $8k for it are not using their own money.
Anyone have the over/under on how long the lawsuits brought by the losers will drag on?
