Is there a way to put a Picatinny style rail section across entire top of the handguard? I love the lighter snakebite handguard, but I really want to have a Picatinny style rail down the entire top of hand guard. Sort of like the m400 SDI x series. It would be so simple if they made that hand guard available to buy.

You’re right about the magnified red dot covering your target at longer ranges. I’m running a magnified red dot on my rifle too but I went with a Holosun HS503g because it has the ACSS reticle. It doesn’t use a dot but instead a horseshoe with a ^ chevron in the middle so it never covers your target. It also has a BDC that goes out to 600 yards. Pretty unique for a red dot and it’s actually usable as long as you have the magnifier. I just found your channel a few days ago and I’m digging it. I’m going through your videos and I’m learning a lot. I’m half Korean myself so it’s good to see another Korean brother who’s into shooting.

That's the M400 Tread SnakeBite, which does NOT have a 2 stage match trigger. The 2 stage match trigger comes on the M400 Tread SnakeBite Special Edition model, which has a black buttstock and a FDE color barrel and compensator/flashhider combo. The regular snakebite has a silver barrel and regular black flash suppressor only, which is what you have. It also has the lowest trigger in the M400 tread lineup.

This gun isn't "entry level" in my opinion... it's more towards mid level. It has options and accessories that are better than my Colt. Not a fan of the free floating barrel because it separates the handguard from the barrel... which helps with accuracy.

All righty then, Picked up the Sig Sauer M400 Predator (Gen 1) $740.00 new. First impressions after taking it apart and shooting 50-600 yards topped with a Vortex Diamondback TAC 4-16x42 and I switched to a Burris Sig HD 5-25x50mm for 500-600 yards >>> was the trigger and charging handle, they suck! This was suppose to be a hunting rifle, "predator" where's the extended or oversized charging handle and 1.5/2lbs. trigger pull? Upgrades just for the CH/Trigger are $220 on sale. Moving on, 85gr Barnes, 77gr AAC SMK , 75gr AAC Hornady, 75gr HSL Hornady, 68gr Frontier Hornady and 55gr HSL Hornady all BTHP shot sub MOA consistently except 55gr. The 85/77/75/68 grainers achieved .18 to -1" 5 shot groups. 500-600 yards was easy, round plate 1" @500 hit 6 times 50/50 5 shots each with 85/77gr. 75gr scored 4 hits &1 nick (10 shots) on 1", 68gr 1 nick/hit on 1" @ 500. @600 yards was a silhouette, all made 100% hits, 55gr was only used to 300 yards best group was .6 most groups were +- MOA. As for the rest of the rifle, I absolutely feel it is all I could hope for in a benchrest/hog AR Platform. I am swapping the trigger for a GEISSELE SUPER SEMI-AUTOMATIC ENHANCED (SSA-E) TRIGGER- 05-160 and also the charging handle out with a Aero Precision AR15 Breach Charging Handle - Large Black Ambidextrous. Low rings are perfect, no need to adjust cheek riser. The buttstock will be moved over to a second DIY AR with a 20" ER SHAW fluted Wylde SP platform. An UTG S4 will be placed on the Predator, no need for cheek riser. All in all, with 85/77/75gr Hornady/SMK/Barnes shot via the M400 is just as accurate as most bolt guns. With the stock trigger it is easy to pull your shots, take your time and do your part and this rifle will perform very well. Use middle finger on trigger with your fore finger placing slight pressure back on trigger guard, it helps. I also cleaned the barrel down to the steel, bore scope showed a very well made barrel with the gas port on the groove (well done) not the lands. Crown was perfect and the chambering was perfect. Rifle was tested by manufacture, I was surprised with the amount of copper in the barrel and it was oozing oil. All good... GL all!
