Sig Sauer TANGO6T US Military Over Run Rifle Scope 1-6X24mm First Focal Plane Includes 1.535" ALPHA4 Titanium Mount - $2199

You are partially right, the Sig Sauer MCX Spear/NGSW will only replace the M4 and in the United States Army only,
The United States Marines just updated their rifles in 2018 with the HK416 (which US Army should’ve done in the first place) so they won’t be updating their weapons for years to come,
The US Navy and Air Force don’t seem to care because their rifles do not require performance like the army and marines, except their special forces which seem to use whatever they want,
As for the HK417 the army just adopted it last year as a designated marksman rifle so it’s not going anywhere either and the scope has been chosen for it already, which is the Sig Sauer tango6T,
As for the army’s choice of the 6.8/277Fury, it was stupid,
the head shed does not know anything about the battlefield, I have not served yet and I know a lot more about the battlefield and they’ll ever know,(that is scary IMO) they did need to update the M4, but they chose the wrong rifle, if they wanted a piston rifle they should’ve gone with the MCX Spear LT (here’s a link in case you have not heard of it
https://www.sigsauer.com/mcx-spear-lt.html... )
in 556 or use that new 6mm ARC, (that the DOD adopted!)
Or if they didn’t wanna go to gas piston, go with a new Daniel defense RIII or GEISSELE automatics,
Just as long as it’s not 6.8 for the average soldier to have carry, now sure the rifle they adopted is good for designated marksman, but it is not good for combat, the Soldier has a very limited amount of ammunition, the rifle it is heavier, ammunition is heavier. The magazines only have 20 rounds, It was just stupid, and we are not facing any armies that have advanced armor plates that are M855 green tips wouldn’t go through, and if they did want something more powerful, go with the 6.mm ARC that’s a bad round, and I think you can get 30 rounds or close to 30 rounds in a magazine, and it fits in regular AR15’s,
Here’s some food for thought,
The only Country that has body armor that the United States military have to worry about is the United States law-abiding citizens,
as I said food for thought:)
