I realize these are 2 totally different animals but I may have a chance to pick up one or the other for almost the same price roughly 650 CDN.
I shoot a D750 and D7000, enjoy low light and some action(70-200) but on occasion shoot wild life.(15-500)
I have a 24mm 1.8 for landscape and night and the 28-300 as a walk around lens.
Thoughts........
Thanks

I'd need to know which version, specifically, of the Nikon 70-200mm you're talking about before I could give my opinion.

Nikon has released several versions of this lens and some are (significantly) better than others.

The nikon is the VR model with the red VR.
not the VR II.The sigma I believe is the latest with OS HSM
That is all I really know.

That is a pretty tough call. If we are talking about the Sigma that came prior to the 150-600 models AND assuming these are both used I would probably go for the Nikon. Just from the cost perspective, it seems 650CDN for the Sigma is not a great bargain. Whereas ~650CDN for an older 70-200 2.8 seems like a pretty good deal.
