SIG Sauer MCX Virtus Patrol FDE 5.56mm
Then one day this all changed. I happened upon a smoking deal on a piston-driven SIG carbine at a pawn shop right before a two-day rifle clinic and barely had the chance to zero it before the class.
I showed up to the class with my match-grade pre-ban Bushmaster A2 HBAR and was loving it thoroughly… until South Carolina’s infamous splash-and-dash torrential rains intervened. Suddenly my ultra-precise tac-driver turned into an awkward single-shot front-heavy nightmare.
Frustrated as hell, I finished the first day of class more proficient as clearing malfunctions than shooting. While cleaning my rifle, I remembered that SIG I’d just bought the other day, and decided that anything was better than the HBAR – especially with heavy rain forecasted for the second day of the class.
