New SIG M400 Rifles

SIG Sauer is now showing two new M400 rifles on their website: the Predator and the Muddy Girl.  The guns address two distinctly different markets for the AR-15 rifle market.

The new SIG M400 Predator rifle is designed for long range precision: for either hunting or competition.  Chambered for the 5.56 NATO, the rifle uses a 18″ barrel made of 416 stainless steel.  The barrel has a 1:8″ twist rate.

A single five-round magazine ships with the M400 Predator.  The rifle carries a suggested retail price of $1,384.

The M400 Muddy Girl is more than just a pink and black camo pattern on the furniture.  It uses Magpul MOE furniture (pistol grip, handguard and stock) like the M400 Enhanced, but it has a folding front sight instead of a standard A2-style front sight.

Chambered in 5.56 NATO, the rifle has a 16″ chrome-lined barrel barrel with a 1:7″ twist.  An A2-style flash suppressor is standard.  The rifle comes with a single 30-round Magpul PMAG.  MSRP is $1,394 and it carries a SIG item # of RM400-16B-ECP-MG.

The Muddy Girl camo pattern from Moon Shine Attitude Attire has become popular and several other manufacturers are using the same pattern on their guns.  For example, I previously showed the ISSC M22 pistols are now available in Muddy Girl and Savage makes an Axis XP Youth rifle with the same pattern.
