    As they come, they are too short for the nz market with their folded stock unless you would get a way of getting the stock permanently in the fixed position before it lends on our shores. Proof research are already making sparebarrels in all kind of lengths for it. That could be another solution.
    Otherwise sig would have to release longer barrel versions for it to work on some of their export market ( barrel length and total length is the same issue in France for exemple).
    But we are tiny drop in the market when they probably have so much to sell in USA already. It is nice concept . It would be good to see the same thing applied to a long magnum action in 300 win/ prc and 338 lapua with the CIP mags.
    The Q rifle is a similar concept ( common designers?) imported by ken at 556.

    I don't really care for the folding stock, I'd be happy if it was fixed for the NZ market

    Actually I hope they make them in 223 as well. One of these right on minimum overall length would probably be the closest I could get to my purpose built hunting AR I had

    .277 fury though, isn't that an non itch that didn't need a scratch? 140g projectile at 2950? Nothing special there, surely?
    Does it from a 16" barrel. The round was developed for the US Army who are stuck on 277 as a calibre.

    Good luck trying to get popular US Sig gear landed here through distributer. More chance of getting a parrel import in.
    Getting hold of that special .277 ammo and a reamer and just chuck in a .270 barrel would be the go.
