The SIG SPEAR has apparently been adopted by Big Green as the new squad weapon. SIG has now announced they are dropping the Virtus and introducing the SPEAR-LT line up for the commercial market.
Variants in many barrel lengths as well as multiple calibers: 5.56, 300BO, 7.62x51 and 7.62x39.  https://soldiersystems.net/2022/09/19/s ... -spear-lt/ _________________ “Finding ‘common ground’ with the thinking of evil men is a fool’s errand” ~ Herschel Smith "The “A return to First Principles in a Republic is sometimes caused by simple virtues of a single man.

Maybe I misread but I didn’t see any mention of a 7.62x51 variant?

I believe Sig Spear is 277 Fury (6.8x51) and 7.62x51 came out first. Spear LT is 5.56. Similar to how the SCAR-H AND -L began.

I figured they'd do something like this. Might be an easier sell for militaries that might want to adopt the Sig Spear but don't want to change to new oddball caliber.
