sig sauer m400 vs S&W M&P AR's

[wyosniper]

Gentleman i was thinking about purchasing a new m400 series rifle. There are 4 variants i am torn on (m400, m400 srp, m400 swat, and the m400 weld which i am leaning towards. I also like the M&P series. Which one is a better bang for the buck? If anyone has much time behind any of these give me thoughts please.

Can't really say which one is the most bang for the buck, but I've owned, own and have assembled a lot of ARs since the early 90s to present. I bought one of the M400 Enhanced models new for $930 out the door, I think it's a good buy. Especially with some of the lower receiver enhancements offered.

However, I do have an issue with the rear sight that is specific to the "Enhanced" model, the windage adjustment moves a little too easily and the peep flips between the large and small aperture a little too easily. It moves easily enough I threw on another rear sight I had laying around. I intend to send the sight back to Sig for them to look over as it's definitely too easily moved to be relied upon for any serious use. With that I hope the sight is not a typical representation of this specific model.

I have handled and shot the m&p and the 400 enhanced. IMO, the are both about equal in about every category. The finish, reliability, and accuracy were all very acceptable. I like the Sig lowers better. I also like the price of the Sigs. They are a little cheaper than than comparable rifles.
