Got a New Rifle

[MarcSpaz]

Just picked up a Sig Sauer 716 Patrol AR-10 Battle Rifle. This rifle is super light for an AR-10. Can't wait to take it to the range.

Thank you Sir! Hopefully Wednesday I can hit the range.

Very nice. Please let us know how it shoots.

It's beautiful and I'm jealous. Have fun!

Nice rifle. I sort of looked at them a year or so back when I got my SIG 566R. I didn't even know SIG made these until I got to researching the "R". I decided then that if I got another .308 rifle, it would be a SIG.

I am curious about how the PMAGS work.

[MarcSpaz]

Thanks guys...

It came with a 20 round PMAG. There is a little slop with the mag inserted. I only stuffed empties in it though. Once some spring pressure is on it, I'd expect that it won't be noticeable. As long as there are no feed problems, I use it.

The DPMS mags fit really well. Nice and snug with little to no play. I'm likely going to buy more of the metal mags since I only have 3 at the moment.

beautiful!

So, it has an ambi mag release but not the safety or bolt catch/release? Seems like if SIG were to go through the trouble of putting that ambi mag that they would go true ambi with the safety and bolt release.

[MarcSpaz]

They offer it as an option via a parts kit. Don't know if they have an assembled ambi version. the 516 is the same way. I am good with it either way.

Well, its not an AK but I reckon it will do!

J/K... Sweet weapon! Congrats!

[Snakester]

Very nice ! I have been eyeing one myself.

very nice... I've had mine for a couple of months now. A much smoother shooter than most people report in other forums. shot side by side with my buddy's Scar and I think has no more recoil... Got optics yet?

Funny this subject should come up. Hasn't been but a day or two since the Ruger SR 762 caught my eye. Was thinking about one to go with an SR 556. Sort of a big brother-little brother pair like the Mini 14 and the Mini 30. Anybody got any input on the Ruger SR 762?

Thanks! They are a blast, aren't they. I hit a 2" bullseye with the BUIS at 100 yards all day long. There is such little recoils compared to my SASS.

No optics yet. I have been having other obligations tying up my cash lately. I am thinking either an HHS 1 or a VCOG. I'm leaning toward the EOTech until the price drops on the VCOG. $2,400 seems a bit high for my budget, but I may not feel that way about it once I have one in my hands. LOL

That is my own web sever. I have a URL redirect setup. Looks like your virus protect thinks its a virus, but its clean and working as intended.

I don't own one, but I looked at one myself. I love Ruger. I like supporting American companies too. I would put them very, very close to Sig quality with regard to the more expensive product lines. I went with Sig because our military has chosen many Sig weapons to send down range, the Sig is shorter overall and I couldn't find any info on the Ruger trigger.

The Ruger does weigh 1 lbs less and has the same barrel specs. I general, I think the Ruger would be a good choice.

[bryanrheem]

The Ruger has good reviews, but it is not a free floating barrel. I do like the thinner rail system on the Ruger.

After flirting with the idea of buying a POF or LWRC for my 308, I think my wallet will direct me to the the Sig.

Marc, where do you shoot it out to 100 yards?

[MarcSpaz]

I go to Range82. Lee is the owner. Great guy and a good place to shoot. There are very few members since it is used during the day for gov contracts. The upside is exclusive use. There is never a wait for lanes on Saturday's and is you are good with "after core hours" shooting during the week, most days there may only be 1 or 2 other people there.

As most of you know, I got a new AR10 a couple months ago. I made some subtle changes. Nothing major, but I think I like this look a lot more.

I switch my Sig 716 away from a Patrol / Battle Rifle configuration more toward a Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR)

This is what it looks like after the mods...

A bit jealous.

Very nice. I've been thinking about picking onemail of them up for a while since Hk long guns seem to be made from gold these days.
