Title: Sig MCX airgun
Post by: Mark Davis on June 17, 2020, 12:47:53 AM
Sig has an air gun that just might be an Appleseed rifle.

I don't own one, never shot one. Don't know if it fires from an open bolt, so clearing it on an Appleseed line would be smooth.

The action is belt fed, with 30 round belt contained in a magazine. Extra mags, about 30 dollars.

They are .22 caliber, and light wadcutter pellets are recommended.

It comes in a PCP version, the manufacture says gets 120 shots per fill, Extra air tanks are about 80 dollars.
320. dollars for the rifle.

It comes in CO-2 version, cost, 220 dollars. It takes a large 88-90 gram CO-2 cartridge, Sig sells them for about 10 bucks, quantities of 24 can be had for 170 plus shipping from Pyramyd Air.

Just got around to watching the video.
It does not speak well for this rifle.
Recently got a report from an appleseed instructor who bought one.
He was not happy with his purchase and sent it back for a refund. After shooting, he said he had absolutely no use for it.

That is about what Andy said too.  It is a backyard pop can plinker. ☹️
