Totally agree! This rifle can handle the outdoors well, though a bit heavy for hikes. Anyone use it for hunting?

I took it out for elk hunting last fall and it performed like a champ. The long-range capabilities are unmatched for that range.

Surprisingly quiet for a .308 size rifle, especially with the right suppressor. Definitely helps in a hunting scenario.

I’m debating between the SIG Spear and other options like the Ruger Precision Rifle. Any strong opinions?

The Ruger Precision has its advantages, but the SIG has the edge in durability and ergonomics, in my opinion.

I see that as well, but the Ruger has a better aftermarket support for upgrades.

That’s true! Upgrades can enhance performance over time. Have you considered the long-term investment angle?

For optics, I recommend looking at the Vortex Viper PST. It has excellent clarity and is tough as nails!
