“sig”

SIG Sauer has expanded its optics line, and had its latest releases on display at the 145th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Louisville.

This is a bolt-action rifle. There are many like it, but this one is a Mauser 98. It is legendary. It is the culmination of much tinkering and testing by its creator, Paul Mauser, and the final result is a thing of strength and simplistic beauty.

The 145th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits have come and gone. Official estimates say more than 80,000 NRA members packed the Kentucky Exposition Center over the weekend, and we can't thank y'all enough. Here's a quick roundup of some of the coverage the AmericanHunter.org team produced during the show.

Otis Technology is offering consumers the chance to win an elite race gun and a complete set of the company's Ripcord one-pass gun cleaners in a new sweepstakes.

SIG Sauer made headlines in recent years by expanding into shooting-related product markets including optics, suppressors and ammunition.

SIG Sauer is known as a quality producer of military and law enforcement firearms that come at a premium price. Previously SIG had an association with the hunting market by way of its sister brands, Blaser, Sauer and Mauser, until they were separated approximately 10 years ago to serve the hunting market as stand-alone entities.

Success of the AR platform with the consumer market led to the birth of a cartridge that utilizes a .30-cal. bullet and is designed for use with AR-15-style rifles and pistols, the .300 Blackout. SIG Sauer, for one, has met the growing .30-cal. demand, developing a line of rifles dedicated to .300 Blackout. Meet the SIGM400 Predator.

Coyotes and feral hogs, beware. SIG Sauer rolled out its new ECHO1 Digital Thermal Imaging Reflex Sight at SHOT Show 2017, and we could have played with it on the range all day.

New for 2017, SIG Sauer has entered the Varmint ammunition market.
