If it can shoot I will likely pick one up. I have for to get one of those Nova freedoms first though.

Yea they have most of it all including the price on entry.
Not too sure about dealing with AIM though.

Too much to spend for something about which so little is known. I'll hold off and let others be the test market. They appear to have some really good ideas but there are just too few details out there - their site doesn't even have a manual.

Yea that's what my gut feeling is telling me.
Agree with holding off for now.

Thanks, Fang. I saw a review of this gun (UK?) but couldn't find who sells it when I searched further. Made in USA but wonder where the parts are from? I hope Sig has put some of their firearms quality into it. Guess we will get a review here? BTW, only one wood stocked left.

I bought one of there clone 45's and took it back the next morning. a POS waiting to happen

RedFeather · « **Reply #8 on:** November 24, 2018, 11:46:53 AM »

Those may look like a Sig but that's about it. This should be on a whole different level.

There is lots of information on the ASP20 over at Hard Air magazine....

I have been talking with Ed Shultz of SIG, and he is certainly proud of their new baby.... Reduced cocking effort compared to FPE is a big plus, IMO....

The links Bob shared do give a LOT of good general information about the new Sig air rifle. I have specific questions which would need answered before I commit any money to them. Sig does not offer an email address for questions (or anything else) They do have customer service telephone numbers but I prefer email. They have their site set up to download manuals for their products but the manual for the airgun is not yet available. It appears to be a very innovative airgun but I still have many questions. I'm still on hold - in the meantime an old Diana 34 is still good enough for me. It has no barrel droop. If Sig thinks their method of lock up corrects barrel droop I don't think they really understand its cause.

Novagun · « **Reply #11 on:** November 24, 2018, 04:21:48 PM »

We will probably not see them here. The first thing that struck me was SIGs claim that barrel droop is endemic in break barrel rifles. That is just not correct. Some have droop but many do not. Hardly endemic. Advertising I suppose; very often inaccurate.

Frankly · « **Reply #12 on:** November 24, 2018, 09:12:12 PM »

Per BB's article, if the Whiskey scope is bundled at such a steep discount then I'll wait for that package to come along. Of course I could wait another 18 months for the adjustable stock to come along... it's like buying technology items, always some vaporware just around the corner....

RedFeather · « **Reply #13 on:** November 24, 2018, 09:30:18 PM »

I've seen several arguments as to what causes droop, from breech block / compression tube fit to how a high mounted scope in relation to bore axis contributes to it. That Sig is making their own air gauged barrels is encouraging. I was a bit worried this was going to be a Made in USA from Chinese parts. The trigger is going to be a let down for a lot of folks who think 8 oz is too heavy. This one is a sporting trigger like on hunting rifles. Will Sig sell a separate trigger unit? Might be a good idea to have a back up before tearing into that limiting bracket. 😉 Well, I hope this one's a real winner. And the price is well under the FWB Sporter. Just wish it had a more conventional stock. Not a fan of the bottom cut outs. Oh, and iron sights. Yeah, old school here.

DonC · « **Reply #14 on:** November 25, 2018, 04:09:38 PM »

I agree Redfeather, the heavy/lawyer trigger is a deal killer for me.
What could they be thinking.

Brazos · « **Reply #15 on:** November 25, 2018, 08:47:02 PM »

I think it is awesome that Sig is getting into airguns. It is great they are building their own rifles and coming up with new ways of doing things. This truely is great. It really is awesome one of the best firearm makers in the world has got into the airgun market and is designing and building their own stuff and not just putting their name on some Chinese junk and out for a quick buck. The ASP20 is just not something I am too interested in. I am not interested in anything gas ram or anything 20fpe. The trigger sounds good except that it can only go do to 2.5lbs. No doubt there are 9 people out of 10 who thinks this new rifle ticks off all the boxes and will line up to buy it so I understand why they built the rifle they built. For me I would like to see an American designed (and built, which Sig is accomplishing with the ASP20) precision spring rifle. One that is match ready that will be the TX200/HW97/LGU slayer.

Thank you for the links provided, I read them word for word. The common theme throughout the 3 articles and the review by Tom Gaylord and is repeated over, and over, and over again is innovation, ground breaking, revolutionary. We'll see. I want to hear what Mr. Average Joe has to say about it, not some for hire chamber of commerce type. Delivery dates keep being put back, and it looks like the one I'm interested in, the synthetic .22, is just some mythical creature with a who knows when delivery date.

Was it just me or did PA raise the price on this item?

I had it on my watch list and got an email that one was available but it was for like $100.00 more than I remembered?

Maybe I just got it wrong.

ps; NOT eligible for discount codes / coupons

falvesjr · « **Reply #18 on:** November 26, 2018, 02:29:39 PM »

The current prices of $429/wood and $349/synthetic are what I remember them always being listed for. What's weird though is that they both have the Cyber Monday "DEAL20" banner on them, but the site won't let you use it. You might want to call them if you're interested...

UPDATE: The site DID let me apply the 20% coupon to a pre-order of the .22, but not to the in stock .177.

Ah I guess they sent a link to the wood stock. Which is odd because I had the .22 synthetic tagged.

Probably just a mix up.

Thank you to our advertisers!
