The result is a compact, light-recoiling platform that can be configured for any task.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Cold hammer-forged barrels, available in 9\u201d, 11.5\u201d and 16\u201d lengths, feature an advanced interchangeable design and can be exchanged at the operator level. To increase accuracy, the barrels are of a heavier contour profile. Also assisting with accuracy is the new SIG Matchlite Duo trigger, a two-stage unit that provides the shooter with a crisp, clean feel. A new tapered bolt lug design results in smoother cycling and extends the bolt life. Capping off the upgrades are eight (8) new free-floating M-LOK handguards available in standard and suppressor-ready configurations.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76206\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sigsauer.com\/products\/firearms\/rifles\/sig-mcx-virtus\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sig-sauer-introduces-mcx-virtus\" title=\"SIG Sauer Introduces the 'Perfect Rifle' aka the MCX VIRTUS\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76206\" title=\"SIG Sauer Introduces the 'Perfect Rifle' aka the MCX VIRTUS\" class=\"wp-image-76206 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-03-at-4.14.37-PM-1024x473.png\" alt=\"SIG Sauer Introduces the 'Perfect Rifle' aka the MCX VIRTUS\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-03-at-4.14.37-PM-1024x473.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-03-at-4.14.37-PM-150x69.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-03-at-4.14.37-PM-400x185.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-03-at-4.14.37-PM-768x355.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Screen-Shot-2017-07-03-at-4.14.37-PM.png 1259w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-76206\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new SIG Virtus, available in Patrol, Pistol and SBR configurations.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Looks like SIG is doing it again. \u00a0By that, I mean (to quote Charlie Sheen from circa 2011), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pipTwjwrQYQ\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sig-sauer-introduces-mcx-virtus\" title=\"SIG Sauer Introduces the 'Perfect Rifle' aka the MCX VIRTUS\">#Winning!<\/a> \u00a0Coming off the heels of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/glock-19-mhs-finally-unveiled\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sig-sauer-introduces-mcx-virtus\" title=\"SIG Sauer Introduces the 'Perfect Rifle' aka the MCX VIRTUS\"> landing the MHS contract<\/a>, one can certainly make the argument that they are becoming the preeminent\u00a0firearms manufacturer on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the SIG MCX VIRTUS, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sigsauer.com\/products\/firearms\/rifles\/sig-mcx-virtus\/\" campaign=\"SIGSauerVirtus\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">sigsauer.com\/virtus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also, don&#8217;t forget to shop for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?Keyword=SIG%20MCX\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sig-sauer-introduces-mcx-virtus\" title=\"SIG Sauer Introduces the 'Perfect Rifle' aka the MCX VIRTUS\">SIG products on GunsAmerica<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, SIG Sauer announced the MCX Virtus in .556 NATO and 300 BLK. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":76194,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,111,216],"tags":[701,613,132,617,58],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-76179","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-industry-news","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"tag-5-56-nato","11":"tag-ar-15","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-industry-news","14":"tag-sig-sauer"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SIG Sauer Introduces the &#039;Perfect Rifle&#039;
