The U.S. Military sniper.300 Win Mag ammunition will be manufactured at the state-of-the-art SIG SAUER ammunition manufacturing facility in Jacksonville, Arkansas.
“This is a very exciting development for SIG SAUER, and for the rapidly growing SIG SAUER ammunition division, and we are honored to be recognized by the U.S. Army,” concluded Cohen.
Imagine that.
Who could have possibly guessed..
Ready for the sig hate train!
Any of you considered maybe they actually make a good product?
Some might say the QC is lacking… and it is evident in multiple design changes in some products after they have been released which says something also… consumers shouldn’t be your beta testers. haters are going to hate but it is well deserved in some areas unfortunately.
Glock is the king of multiple rolling changes and they have the luxury of one design, yet they still have numerous revisions for each model. Sig is 3rd or 4th largest gun maker in the U.S. (depends on if long guns are included in the numbers produced) with a huge range of different firearms designs.
EVERY major gun maker uses consumers as beta testers, because at some point only the volume distribution to the general public will reveal problems.
