I highly suggest doing some deep research on the SIG 556. Lots of mixed reviews , some good some bad . Personally handling one it was heavier than a standard AR , I have not fired one myself but my buddy has one , He claimed ARs are for chumps when he first bought it so we went out and shot about 200 rds and he had one about every 9-10 rds FTF . I had ZERO issues . His chump claim is now non existant and he now owns a BCM AR15 . Havent had any personal experience with the Sig so I cant comment on it

A friend of mine had a sig 5.56 and i handled it and shot it. It was a nice rifle but too heavy for my taste. It was a piston system though, im not sure if sig makes a DI system

I'd get a good AR-15 like the BCM purehavoc mentioned. Enjoy the light weight and pocket the change. Or buy more ammo.

The first 556s were heavy in the foreend. I understand Sig has slimmed down the handguards on later models and may have shed some weight up front.

I bought one of the 522s. Man thats a fun rifle. Ive heard of conversion kits to make it 556, but I haven't come across any yet.

The kits are for going the opposite direction, 5.56 to .22.
I would pass over the SIG w/o looking back.
