I think it will be a fine lens. When I was last in Yellowstone I had a D800 and a 80-400mm lens and 400mm was not long enough to capture a great deal of the wildlife, especially the nesting raptors in the Yellowstone "Grand Canyon."

Excellent choice, keep it on the D750 and switch to the D7100 if more reach is needed. Also be sure and check the focus tuning before the trip, don't want any soft focus surprises after you get all the way home.

I rented the Sigma 150-600 C from Lensrental.com for a trip to Bosque Del Apache and it was a great lens. My only issue with that lens is that it seemed a bit soft past 500mm. Of course that could have been the operator and/or the lighting, For that reason I'm debating between the Sigma C, the Sigma S and the Canon 100-400 II (with 1.4 extender). Sometime in the spring (or sooner) I plan to purchase one of them.

I have the Canon mount version, and love it. Traded my Tamron version in on it. The Sig is definitely sharper at 600mm, in my experiences

I beg to differ. Tamron is sharper especially from 500mm out.

Go for the Sport. Worth the extra $$$$ for the additional elements and dust sealingwith metal construction. I have it. It is exceptional.

I am leaning towards the Sport. The weight was one of my concerns but, I don't expect to be handholding either version because of physical limitations, so a gimble head needs to be added regardless....Go for the Sport.

400 is OK on cropped sensor camera.
I considered the Sigma to upgrade my 150-500. Went for the Nikon 200-500 instead. Very pleased with the image quality and awesome VR.
I'll use it mostly on my D5300 for most critters in Yellowstone (where I go often) but will bring out the D800 for it when the situation ( distance) allows. Still considering a 1.4 extender, which will work with it on D800.

I use this lens on my D750 and enjoy using it. I got the Sigma TC 1.4 extender for Christmas but haven't tried it out yet.
