What are your thoughts on the SIG 556?

Also, what scope setup would you recommend? I have been pricing stuff and I like the trijicon acog scope but it is very pricey. Any advice would be appreciated?

ACOG is worth every penny. But, best optic depends on rifle, caliber and intended use.

I shot one once. Nice trigger pull, pretty good accuracy, well balanced. Expensive.

Depends on the purpose. For coyote hunting, I've got a 16" AR-15 flat top carbine with a 3-9x power scope. If it's personal defense and you can't afford the ACOG, I'd look at an EOTech 511 holographic sight. I've been using one on my Mini-14 and I really like it. It's not magnifying, but it's easy to shoot with both eyes open.

check into the burris stuff. they just came out with a neat little system. its a 3x magnifier to go with a dot scope, and you can get a flip off mount.
i haven’t seen it in use but it looks pretty spiffy.
