It's the first step in grizzling per the waiver.

I'm grossed out, and simultaneously impressed.

Nothing wrong with the M400s except price relative to their direct competition and the direction that the marketplace has been going. We stopped carrying them because everyone else was dropping their pricing and SIG wasn't, making the old M4 handguard M400s hard if not outright prohibitive to sell. The Saint (sad to say) with its upgrade furniture was mopping SIG's face in it. We'd sell out a batch of LE6920s long before a single base M400 would move. Rifles like the $500 Sport II and AR-556 vacated the building even more emphatically. When the Elite series came out our buyer wouldn't even bother looking at them, especially now with the Ruger MPR, and similar accessorized guns and their low price points enticing buyers.
The Tread (to me a stupid name that sounds like I should torture test it under the wheels of an F-150) at least should make an impingement SIG AR somewhat financially relevant again.

If the price is right, I may jump. I would like to have a Sig AR to go with my Sig pistols. And Tread is a stupid name.

I saw 400s in the shop today and they were $1020 per. Which is truly stupid. Seems that shops (at least around here) sell either $450 ARs, or $3000 ARs with very little in between.
Maybe the Tread will bridge that gap in SIG's marketing plan.

I saw this. Per the email which I promptly deleted as it seemed to be a clothing line, I must say I thought grizzled had a age requirement. Did I miss that?

If it is priced like an entry gun I think it might be a great idea. I know a lot of you won't understand this but the AR accessory world can be pretty daunting for people not keeping up with it. I can see the idea of a rifle and a pile of boxes of accessories marked with the same logo and guaranteed to fit appealing to true entry level AR buyers.

It was in the email. Take the purchase price, convert that number from Fahrenheit to Celsius and divide by 10. No MSRP.
Female. Check. Tank top. Check. Yoga pants. Check. Crossfit. Check. Outdoorsy. Check. A little ink. Check. Is this a gun, clothing, or lifestyle brand? Check.
Yes. It's all fine they blend these together and normalize the shooting sports. It feels like Springfield Armory tried to do this recently though.
They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

Meh, there are pretty much only two tropes in EBR advertising. Either dark haired and bearded guys loaded up with tac gear who look like Bradley Cooper playing Kyle Reece in American Sniper, or very fit women in tank tops showing they can be gun badasses too.

Yeah it's basically SIG Sauer's answer to SA's "Saint" rifles.
That's fine. Some people just want to buy a name brand rifle all setup and shoot it as is.
