Sig 522 LR

Has anybody seen the new Sig 522 LR or heard anything about when it will be available? I was checking Sig's website and it looks like it would be a hoot to shoot and cheap too. It is a knock dead look-a-like for the Sig 556 Classic (which look like the Sig 550). The MSRP is $515, which makes it about 1/3 the price of the Sig 556.

I've heard various dates given, from April to June. Price quoted to me was about $450.

[censored] thats sweet. I wonder how picky it will be on ammo because I could see myself going through quite a bit of it.

The Sig specs list the rifling twist rate as 1-7. Aguila makes 60 grain sub-sonics that might be worth looking into as the the 522's fast twist can stabilize those big slow bullets.
