killler 2 #1 March 24, 2012 I'm looking for a plinking / target rifle.. The Sig Sauer sig522 target has caught my eye... Anyone own one? Some feed back would be helpful... I've got brownings, H&K's, Remingtons, so don't need 5.56 or 7.62... Just looking for fun "cheap to shoot" Thanks....Killler.. http://www.sigsauer.com/upFiles/catalog/product/522-Target-detail-hero.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devildog 0 #2 March 24, 2012 Don't have a sig, but the last time I wanted another plinker that was fun to shoot I was thinking of going with a .22 mag and ended up with a .17HMR based off the strong recommendations by someone I know. Havent regretted it one bit. So, if you don't have one, I'd recommend getting one (Marlin 917 is a good line)You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

rrmtopo 1 #3 March 24, 2012 A couple shooting buddies use one of these to practice 3-gun, they seem to run like a champ. If you have an AR this will have the same feel. http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_765013_-1_757786_757784_757784_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #5 March 25, 2012 is anything cheap to shoot with a Sig? The ammo may be, but the guns themselves don't fit that category. (owner of 226 and 229) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killler 2 #6 March 25, 2012 Spending 500 to 700 bucks on a firearm is NOT that much really.... You get what you pay for... I've had my H&K 91a3 for 30+ yrs... It's just like new after many yrs of use... And it's worth at least twice what I paid ... The SIG sauer is in that class.... I'll pour 22 ammo thru it and then leave it to kids when I'm gone... I would dare to bet that my great grand kids will get to pour some thru it too....killler... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no regrets...abused my 226 for 4 days at Frontsight - 650 rounds without incident or cleaning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
