Wow! Was that a commercial or a review? What about fit and finish? I like a deep traditional blue. That looks Parkerized or something similar. At least Steve pointed out where he was not getting a flat connection between the breech face and barrel. How was the cocking effort? For the power that it delivers, it must be high. To say that this is the “best ever break barrel” on Sig’s first gun is a little questionable. Why don’t you show negative also so that I know what to truly expect if I decide to buy that product. No product is perfect, and I don’t expect that, but give me an idea of what to expect, good and bad.
It is a solid gun. What do you have against that? I shot the prototype at the Texas Airgun show last June and was impressed enough to preorder one in .177. It feels good in the hand, worksmanship is a good as any of the German springers. For reference my field target rifle is a Motorhead tuned HW97, my favorite backyard gun is my R7. I owned a TX200 for 2 years and it was a piece of junk. I have shot RWS 34's, 460, and the RWS Mauser "clone". The SIG shoots as smooth as a german springer with a Vortech kit out of the box. It is a magnum, so it does take some cocking effort and the recoil surprises me the first time of any shooting session with it. I get bored shooting 1.5" spinners with it at 45 yards from a seated field target position. The first time I took mine to a field target match I had it for just a couple days. I mounted my Leupold 6.5-20efr on it, zeroed it at 40 yards and checked the holdover for 10 and 50 with Crosman 10.5s because it was what I had on hand. I went to a match without a range card and shot the same percentage I usually shoot with my HW97. That should speak as good as anything about the gun. Yes it is ugly with the black stained wood and parkerized finish, but it is a gun I wouldn't worry about getting caught in the rain with. Actually Texas summers are rough Weihrachs, because you drip sweat on that blueing and it goes to rusting immediately.
