Page 2 - SIG Sauer ASP MCX Virtus Reviews

Looks cool, feels right, Easy to fill with air from a tank. OK for plinking, as long as the targets are not too small.

The magazine hangs up internally sometimes. You have to remove the mag and move the position of the belt, re-insert the mag and continue. Accuracy is poor. It prints the same wild patterns no matter what pellet I use. Every 2 to 5 shots is a flier, inches off center. The fliers go in all directions, patterns like a shotgun even at 15 yards. Cleaning the barrel did not help. The magazine belt has teeth that hold the pellets in place. These teeth make deep marks on the pellet when loading. It is possible that this is at least part of the problem. I am determined to work out the issues, as this product is quite unique in the airgun world.

DonnyFL makes a moderator adapter for this. When used with their FX 5" moderator the gun is silent. All you hear are the action and the pellet hitting the target. The accuracy issues are not affected by using the moderator. The aftermarket 1st Strike floating buttstock fits, but the air reservoir on this gun must be fatter than the ones used by paintball guns, as that stock fits so tight that it can not be removed. Regardless, the stock improves the appearance of this rifle.

One of the best air guns I have .Easy for me to use

Leave as is.

I would not call this a Toy, It is very powerful and will shoot through a car hood, that I found that out with surprise, I used a old car hood as a back stop and hung my targets on the hood, thinking that I protected the siding of my garage, After a afternoon of shooting at my targets with grate accuracy in the same place, I decided to look at my back stoop and found that I have gone through the car hood and messed up my siding of the garage, Well my wife does not know yet and placed 1/4" ply wood behind the hood to protect the rest of the siding and hide my mess up. Ups Also it is better not to use up all the air in the tank before filling it up again if using a hand pump, I get 90 shots then I fill it up again so I do not wear my self out.

A bigger PCP tank.

For the Price, this is a no brainer buy it.

This is a fun toy. great for target shooting. may take down a squirrel with a couple of shots.

clips that would accept larger pellets.

Find a refill source. i wanted to shoot all day but ran out of air.

An interesting toy for short time

The rotary magazine is poorly designed

This product from Sig is the waste of your money! After 6 months does not hold the pressure, to fix the problem service will cost around $180.

Fun Rifle, Fairly accurate but it's a plinker not a target rifle. Reliable. Holds air well and gets about 4 magazines worth of shots at a respectable velocity before you need to recharge the tank. It's not that hard at all to charge using a hand pump. The first time took about 250 pumps from zero to 3,000 PSI but after that it only takes about 125 took bring it back up to full pressure. I have about 1,000 rounds through it now and have no complaints and it has plenty of power for dispatching pigeons in my hay barn.

The manual sucks, it has very little useful information in it, do some research online and you will be able to bypass a lot of the problems that other owners have encountered.

This is my first venture into PCP airguns and I think I made a good choice with the SIG Virtus. Tom said in his review that the Virtus he tested was regulated at 1,100 PSI the regulator on mine says 1,200 PSI and I am getting velocities in the mid 600FPS range with 14.3 grain Crosman Premiers. Make sure you use the pellet seating tool in the pistol grip to seat the pellets and you wont have any feeding/jamming issues.

Nothing

Make sure it works

First one had internal air leak, would not shoot, 2nd one no leak, still wouldn't shoot, I've spent 4000 dollars with Pyramid and love them, but the sig is junk, refund on this one, Don't Buy it

Function to finish this airgun out of the box has been great. Easy to operate, I get over 120 shots on a tank, which I think is amazing.. If I shoot slow I get pretty good accuracy. Much better than other reviewers stated. Magazine is easy to load, functions well.

177 version would be good..

I would purchase another Sig Sauer airgun again. Good quality for the price point. Heavy trigger. I new it before I bought it. I don't care. It is a good safe trigger. Remember the trigger advances the magazine for the next pellet to come up to position to be fired..

This is the first time I've ever purchased an air gun that had better FPE than what was advertised. For every previous air gun I've purchased, the FPE is less than what's advertised. The Sig Sauer Virtus PCP .22 caliber air rifle is supposed to deliver between 11 and 12 FPE. Using the FX wireless chrono I'm getting 572-575 FPS for 18.12 grain JSB Diabolo Jumbo Heavy (13.17 - 13.31 ft. lbs.) and 615-625 FPS for 15.83 grain JSB Diabolo Jumbo (13.3 - 13.73 ft. lbs.). It is possible that the pellets I've fired could weigh less than the stated grains, and that my FX wireless chrono is off...however, I've used the same chrono with my Sig Sauer P320 air pistol, Sig Sauer MXP air rifle, and Air Ordnance SMG 22 using JSB ammo and I've always measured the FPS (and consequently the FPE) to be less than what was advertised. I am doubtful that my chrono is now suddenly being "generous". I was able to penetrate 1" of solid (hard) pine this rifle, albeit that was in the garage at 12-14 feet.

I would like Sig to offer some higher capacity clips for their rapid pellet system guns. It would be awesome if they offered 30 caliber models. Full auto would be really nice too...see if they can compete with the Hatsan Blitz.

I had actually returned this gun back to Sig thinking there was a problem. When I followed the instructions in the manual to attach the (empty) air tank to the gun and use my Hill MK4 pump to fill it up I heard hissing in the gun with every pump. I then proceeded to disconnect the air tank and pump it to 500 psi separately and then reattached it. As soon as I reattached the tank I heard hissing in the gun again. I sent the gun back thinking it had a leak. The tech had filled the tank to 1500 psi separately and had no issues. It then occurred to me that there must be a valve in the gun that allows low pressure air (below a certain threshold - perhaps at the 1100 psi level) to pass through. They should change the manual to indicate that an empty tank should be pumped up to at least a certain threshold before attaching it.

I like the RPM clips belt driven 30 rounds is fun to shoot. Looks really cool.

The rifle sights are almost useless. It does get 4/5 mags of 30 out of this gun with out refilling. I would gladly take less shot count for more FPS and FPE! It does not shoot predator Polly mags they are to long to fit in the mag belt the shirts get crushed during cycles they do not load into the chamber.

This gun it really slow its not at 700FPS more like 500-600. If you want to shoot past 30 yards look at a different model!

The looks that's about it

The entire gun is garbage barrel to loose the fps was way under the 700 like 520fps with 10g

U have to put a lot of work into this gun to get it to shoot straite at 30 yards was a 4 inch group totally unacceptable I fixed it up then the only plastic peace in the gun breaks and the next surprise it sig won't sell u parts total junk wish I could get my money back

Semi automatic

Mine came with a broken o ring

I LOVE IT! Some people say it's not a self defense gun. WELL They lied. I tested 2 layers of denim, on top of 2 t-shirts and put a canaloupe behind all layers. Lead free light alloy pellets went thru all layers & 80% of the canaloupe.

I tried 11gr, and 9 gr lead free h&n field green pellets. They penetrate MUCH Better Than Lead. Lead pellets bend and flatten but alloy pellet keep going

I like everything about this air rifle. Ran 4 magazines through it before thinking about recharging the tank.

I would add sling swivels

Semi automatic nature is extremely satisfying in a pcp loadout. You get a modicum of power, but way more than anything you'd get in c02. But nothing like higher caliber pcp rifles.

Accuracy isn't great, I'd say that is probably due to the trigger cycling the magazine.

Made in Japan, semi-auto., PCP consistent power on 60rnds

Larger bottle either .33l or .45l, increase regulator pressure to at least 1500psi. Add extra belts or Magazine. a rail on under side of barrel

Put .45l bottle and 1500psi regulator on mine, increased impact and range, might move up to 1800psi regulator in future

Looks and feels like a sig. coming from co2 .177 sig pellets and bb rifles, this thing is pretty amazing. It is consistent shot after shot, for at least 3 mags straight. Its accuracy with provided iron sights is pretty spot on at 200 meters. And still hits the target at 400m.

Picatiny rails on the bottom so i can attach grips or bipods would be a hell of an idea no.

Get a good pump haha its a workout.

So looked great everything felt right, but it leaked air immediately so I am waiting to see if I get an RMA. I will update my review when I get a replacement.

Hold air lol

This is very much not a light rifle it has great balance but its heavier than most air rifles in similar power and caliber.

Nice gun. easy to load fun to shoot

The tank

I cracked the butt pad that goes on the end of the air bottle, I must have tightened it a little too much. Contacted Sig Sauer directly and they do not sell parts for this gun yet. I am to send the whole gun to them but I hunt skunk nearly every day and do not want to send it back. Sure wish I could just get the butt pad. I would love to see a gun like this that had the tank in the fore stock under the barrel, would look better also, the air bottle makes this gun look like a toy.

To be honest... my experience was bad... i recieve a bad product. Because i cant fill the tank with air (it seems i recieve a bad one) and also the tank/stock is loose and cannot be tightened.. I try but I can't adjust it.

the gun is beautifull.. and very nice... maybe im just a guy with bad luck and all the other customers had a great experience buying it.

maybe you must wait until the internet get filled with more info about this gun.. also there is no place to buy spare parts o get some tech help.
