TFB Review: America's New Battle Rifle – The SIG Spear in 6.8x51mm

By Luke C.

It’s been almost a year since the NGSW program’s result was officially put into the field. The Army’s new XM7 (SIG MCX-SPEAR 6.8×51) has been the subject of a lot of discussion, derision, and intrigue, and I’ve not been immune to that curiosity. I’ve had the rare opportunity to run one of these rifles for the last couple of months, and since then, I’ve come a long way from my original assumptions about the rifle and its hybrid ammunition. Based on the last couple of months with the SIG Spear in its civilian configuration, I’d like to run you guys through a bit of the rifle’s history, as well as how it actually feels to shoot and run at the range.More SIG Sauer Firearms @ TFB: TFB Review: Original SIG Sauer MCX vs Spear LT Sig MCX LT in Limited-Edition Tigerstripe from the Sig Shorts Program TFB Review: SIG Sauer MCX-SPEAR 7.62×51 SBR
