I went to the range yesterday and fired the new Robinson XCR and the Sig -556.
Ammo: PMC 55 gr ,Fed XM-193,and WW-Q3131.
100 yrds
First the Sig. awesome smooth ,almost no felt recoil ejection was aggressive with cases landing 15-20 feet away but both foreward and back in a 90 degree fan shape. best group was with the XM-193 @ 2.5". PMC came in second @ 3". My verision is the original model but I replaced the fishgill handgaurds with a set of classic's. I'm going to upgrade the sights with the dioper style SOON. The Sig holo sight seemed a little cheesey but worked as needed. I didn't put any other optic's on and am 100% positive group size would shrink with a quality scope like a XTR burris or Trijicon TR-21.
XCR,
After dialing the gas setting down from 4 to 2 the felt recoil decreased but was still more than an AR or the Sig. For some reason the Win Q-3131 shot the best with this one and I actually had a 1.5" 3 shot group with Irons. Ejection was more AR like with cases going foreward and to the right 5-7 feet. Further on the higher gas setting. Most groups hovered around the 3.5" range and the MI folding sights are not optimal but should be considered as they were designed as Back up sights. Again this rifle would benifit from a better optic than my Aimpoint. Using P-Mags , C-Products 30's and D&H I expiranced 0 malfunctions in 300 rds through both rifles and would consider both to be exceptional alternitaves to an AR. The ergonomics on the XCR are superior to the Sig with its left side charging handle ,ambi bolt catch,and short throw selector lever.
The trigger on the Sig was the better trigger though.

Oh, it's a *SIG*-556. I was expecting an STG-556:

Nice report and weapons... I have been wanting one of the sig-556 "pistols" anyone ever shot one?

Re: Range report on XCR and Sig-556
You need to shoot shoot heavier ammo in that 1/7 bbl if you want to see what the 556 can really do.
Both of mine will shoot 1 moa or less with 69 gr Hornady ammo.
Although I shoot m-855 regularly and get 1.25- 1.50 with it @ 100 yrds.

Re: Range report on XCR and Sig-556
That's the exact 556 I want... I'm jealous! Any ideas on a good place to find one "In Stock" at a reasonable price?? Thanks, Nice Sig!SSBiggun wrote:I went to the range yesterday and fired the new Robinson XCR and the Sig -556.

I would change out for a Magpul xtr or whatever they call it butt stock. They lock up tight. I like the butt stock on the Robinsonson. I have a SIG556 SWAT with a EO Tech and a 3x magnifier, flip to side, behind it and am very happy with it.
Re: Range report on XCR and Sig-556
I ended up putting a Mag-Pul UBR on the Sig and an Aimpoint M-3 2 moa along with the diopter style sights. I will try to get a pic up in the next couple days
