I like the 30 round clip.

The trigger is a little stiff. Make sure your pellet is aligned correctly or it won't fire.

Don't tighten the rifle stock too tight or it will break. It's cheap.

Nothing

everything

I am on my second gun. The first would drain the air tank in minutes. The second started draining today. It emptied the tank in about an hour. I could hear it hissing. JUNK DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WORST trigger pull I have ever experienced. Measured at 10lbs-14oz with an electronic gauge. Almost impossible to hold on target for a second shot let alone the first. Sig told me this is in a "normal range"

Should have bought a different gun. It's the old"you get what you pay for"

There's one thing I like. That is the look and feel of the weapon. Looks nice. But looks are deceiving. Right from the start, problems. Receiver for air bottle was loose inside body of rifle, could move it back-and-forth with my finger almost half of an inch back and forth inside of rifle housing. Screwed in the air bottle, it wobbled back-and-forth and you could turn it side to side when fully seated and screwed in. Once bottle was aired, rifle would not hold air, it bled air at a tremendous rate, never put one round through the weapon. So Disappointing.

Everything. One massive waste of my time and money. I thought Sig Sauer could do much better than that. Main reason I bought it was because it was a Sig And I knew the quality would be top notch. Boy was I wrong. Never got to put one round through weapon. Returned it for a full refund along with hand pump. What a waste.

If you do decide to get one of these, definitely get a warranty, definitely pay for the 10 for $10. That way at least someone can check for Quality & fit and finish before it's sent to you. I wish I would've done that. I really looked forward to owning this and having some fun with it, now I don't think I'll ever deal with these people again, how can you trust them after this ? I'm not the only one, there's many reviews online and YouTube about this exact same problem wobbly air bottle and leaking air internally. Would've had better satisfaction taking $500 cash burying it in a can in my backyard and then going out later that month and digging it back up. Roflmao.

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
