British Military Taps SIG Sauer for Support Weapons Systems Sighting Program
In a move to outfit assorted crew-served weapons, the British armed forces will be using a variety of SIG Sauer full-size red dots and magnifiers.
The Support Weapons Systems Sighting Program aims to provide better sights to a wide range of platforms in British service such as the SA80 A2 Light Support Weapon in 5.56 NATO and the L7A2 General Purpose Machine Gun– a version of the famed FN MAG 58/M240– in 7.62 NATO.
Equipping these will be the SIG Sauer Electro-Optics Romeo 8T red dot and the company’s Juliet 3 and Juliet 4 magnifiers.
