    My wife finally approved a new purchase after the baby arrives and our finances get squared away again. She was okay with purchasing a VZ2008 for around $500. Do I just tell her that they were banned after I talked to her about it and that this is the next closest thing?

    It is mid year.. :) where are they?!?

    Well they stated mid-year for the 556xi Russian and late year for the .300blk on their facebook page. However, this is SIG, they have been known exaggerate the release dates a bit.

    Also, I just found out that real Swiss Arms SG-553Rs exist and a profound sadness has overcome me. Damn you 1989 Import ban! :mad54:

    Yeah, people seem to hate the 556, but I like mine. Nice trigger and ergonomics. It's not MOA accurate (pistol) but it's close enough @50 and it's reliable. In fact it's next to my shotgun in the bedroom as backup. I'll definitely buy the Russian version when it's available.
