SIG Offers Next Gen Rifle and Ammo for Commercial Market

If the Sig proposals (NGSW & NGSW-LMG) are selected it will be a HUGE capability increase with the 6.8x51/.277 Fury cartridge, especially in more open country.

In my occasional talks with Sig reps the NGSW platforms & cartridge are impressive.
Agreed @Talyn, I love their MCX platform and have several. 2 - 5.5" Rattlers (300 BLK & 556), a 5.5" Canebrake (300 Blk), and just recently picked up a MCX Virtus 16" patrol rifle in Grey. I'm looking forward to add some different barrel options/calibers when they are more plentiful. Their MCX Virtus, is extremely modular and configurable. Should be fun.
 
With the .277 Sig cartridge folks will have to realize that the brass-cased loaded version will have lower performance (and cheaper) than the hybrid steel/brass version that will have the much high velocitiy & range capability.

The other competitor, offering the bullpup configuration, will use a different polymer-cased 6.8 cartridge that will be non-reloadable.
