anyone run this gun around here?

@texassooner has one and likes it.

I like it too and look forward to buying one.

I started looking for one and couldn’t find any except on gunbroker. I decided to build using M5 receivers instead. I did go with rifle gas on a 16” barrel and the 716i is where that idea came from. I have a Sig suppressor and liked the idea of their tapered shoulder on the barrel but I got tired of waiting for in-stock notifications that never came.

As @shelbysguns said, I have one and have been very happy with it.  I probably have around 1k rounds through it and maybe 1 malfunction?  I’ve only cleaned it once or twice.  Overall I’d say it’s the best out of the box rifle I’ve purchased

I am still curious if the Indians have the DI or the piston 716?

Di

@texassooner what kindof ammo you running? whats the groups and optic also! did you upgrade the trigger or anything on it too??

I'd love to hear anyone else's experience with this rifle, as well.

Finally got to shoot my SIG716I Tread. I put 150rds down the tube and knocked my rings loose because my rookie ass forgot to use Loctite. There I was, thinking it was all my poor fundamentals, and it was along with the scope issue! I'll definitely update with 100yd zero results next time I'm out, but this time around I sucked. The rifle is beautiful and very smooth to shoot even with a 16"bbl. I like it way more than my SOCOM16 and it is better balanced and very light to the touch. The trigger is not bad. It is a single stage but it is way too heavy for any type of precision IMO but highly effective as a battle rifle. A new trigger along with a diciplined inspection before my next shoot and I should be able to provide better information and achieve better results.

Conclusion for now is this rifle is an amazing value for the price.

good too hear. my local Scheels said 60-90days wait from Sig. so i am putting it off til things get slower on demand
