This is my first AR-308/AR-10 type rifle and it is awesome! Reviews and reports indicate this rifle is capable of running with the big names in the AR-308/ AR-10 pack. It is a best buy for the price and a serious contender. Don't be fooled by its entry level price. This is not an entry level rifle, but is it a top teir battle rifle?

I have some goodies on the way for it and will take some pictures when its ready for the range. |

Last I heard it's been brought to their attention but they have not yet made a SIG 716 compatible Charging Handle. Phase5, SIG, and BTE make the only compatible Charging Handles I believe. |

It's a vast improvement over the factory CH. It's similar to the MCX and MPX charging handle, but feels better than those IMO. |

Quick question---
Does Sig put any type of thread locking compound on the stock flash suppressor ? My YHM suppressor is arriving tomorrow, and I will need to install the included mount. Thanks, Scott |

I started a thread asking if we have a definitive answer on the barrel finish and bore treatment, but thought I would post the question here too.
After much internet research, there is a lot of conflicting information online. I do not know which of these explanations is correct: A) Sig originally offered the 716i Tread with a nitride barrel (exterior and bore) but changed to a DLC finish (exterior only); B) People online did not know what DLC was and incorrectly assumed it was nitride since Sig has been using nitride finishes for two decades; C) A combination of A&B. Regardless, I've read here and elsewhere that Sig CS says it DLC. This means an uncoated bore. I highly doubt the Indian military would adopt a bare-steel bore for front line troops. Does anyone know the barrel (and bore) finish specifications for the Indian contract? At this point I am assuming it is a bare steel bore with DLC finish. However, my rifle's exterior barrel finish does not look like any other DLC I have seen. It is far too shiny. It looks nitrided (the finish looks like a PSA nitrided barrel finish ... shiny and bright unlike the DLC finishes I have seen which tend to be more "flat" or "low sheen"). What says the hive? OPTION 1) Sig CS is wrong, and it is nitrided; OPTION 2) It varies rifle to rifle (Sig is notorious for changing specs); OPTION 3) It is DLC exterior and rust-prone bare steel bore? |

I'm sorry I cannot answer you question, save to say that my bore seems every bit as black as the outside of the barrel.

There wasn't one in the shipping box when I purchased. I too will provide bore pics when I reinstall it. Personally I think the barrels are completely nitrided with polished chambers and DLC refers to the Bolt Carriers. I doubt they're unfinished but you never know. |

Just put a deposit down on the 5.56 SIG M400 Switchblade Pistol.
 Attached FileI wanted to get the SIG Cross but with all the crazy talk about pistols and braces, I figured the best time is now for the Switchblade. I want the Cross, the NGSW Raptor .308 and another 716I. SIG if you hear me, don't sleep on the 716I! Instead place more effort into full ambidexterity, caliber conversions and different barrel lengths adding to the current quality offering. If you build it we will come! |

Went out this morning and ran 100 rounds of PPU 145gr. FMJ through the 716i. Flawless cycling and very consistent brass ejection. Still need to dial in my scope but I am on paper at 50yds (indoor range). I will be out at the 200yd range next week to fine tune the scope. I am very happy with my 716i.

I ordered some Tungsten Grey mags from X-Werks that I'm shocked I actually paid for but I love their work. I have a sweet Nikon 1-4 LPVO for it too. I can't wait to get it. Now I just need a Cross, another 716I and a NGSW MCX Raptor. I may have to add another M400 should this one prove itself worthy. |

I am very happy with my 716i. @RABIDFOX50 That's great to hear. I'm glad your happy with your 716I. The 716I just keeps getting better IMO. Charging my 716I when new was like pulling the sword from the stone. It used to cast a metallic smoke cloud when charged and now it glides so smoothly, after just 565rds. For some reason the 716I brings me joy to shoot. It has something to do with what 7.62 is capable of and the emotional response it's performance provides the shooter. I also own an M1A SOCOM16 and although it's fun to shoot, it takes a backseat to my 716I. All my guns have taken a backseat to my 716I. There's nothing wrong with .308 even if there are better rounds that can do the job. It's just happens to be readily available and plentiful at that and for a decent price. When you compare that to what is available, price, and what still gets the job done, .308 is good enough for me. I have decided to get the Geissele High Speed National Match trigger to replace my JP spring aided SIG stock trigger on my 716I. I think it will provide me what I am looking for in that department. Take care |

Well finally got the stock Sig flash suppressor off the 716i, and got the suppressor mount
installed. Did some testing today to see what kind of zero shift I would get between suppressed and non-suppressed I would get, if any. So far, it seems to be minimal. Took a pic in the shop with the can attached.  Attached File |

Finally took my 716 out to the range today just for some function testing prior to painting it.
Happy to report it ran fine unsuppressed and suppressed with a Surefire RC2 7.62 Mini. Ejection went from 4:30 to 2:00 and there was an increase in recoil but it felt about the same way my KAC ACC did it had the same suppressor. Wasn’t a huge round count at 60rds, but I’m happy with the initial performance |

I got to take mine to a range with a bench today. Surprisingly LC M80 ball shoots MOA consistently at 100 yards. Usually 4 rounds touching with a 5th flier at the 1” mark. Shot one group of 5 factory loaded Hornady 168gr AMAX and it was terrible. This was towards the end my session and it could’ve just been me too. Next time I get out I’ll try the AMAX load again and try for a 10 shot group with M80 ball.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GLD1980: @jonathon Interesting results, especially from the AMAX Load. I look forward to hearing back from you after your next session. Good luck and take care. It's very interesting. I did check and milspec for M80 ball is a mean radius of 5 inches at 600 yards, or about 1.6 MOA. So it's not necessarily impossible but I'm a little amazed. This batch of LC M80 was bought from Brownells in 2019. This rifle shoots M80 better than my Ballistic Advantage .223 shoots 77gr .223. I need to find my rear bag and get my bipod setup for this rifle as I think the AMAX load will do at least as good if I'm not fighting keeping the gun stable. I'm hoping to draw a deer tag this year and use this rifle as I think it's about perfect for a semi-auto. The Kahles K16i is a great fit and I do not feel limited by the 6x top end at all. |

We could certainly carry our concerns back a ways earlier and ask "What was JP Sauer und Sohn doing between 1938 and 1945?". Anyway, you can get the new 2tone Snakebite in stock at Primary Arms, and 12% off, presently. |

Thanks, guys. I already had a rear Troy sight from a while ago so was going to add the front one.

I had a chance to finally get out and shoot my Sig 716i. My 13 year-old shot an SLR-106 (5.56mm). Very short range trip but fun!
I quickly put on a Trijicon TA-31F and shot it at 25 yards. I was just making sure this thing can fire. I was shooting some Portuguese surplus ?1980. I have some good .308 ammo but no need for what I was doing today. I shot one 20-rnd mag and it was great. I noticed that the recoil was less than my brother’s ? 1rst Gen Sig 716. That thing has a stout recoil. My plan is to put an Omega 300 on it. I’d like to deer hunt this fall with it. I definitely need to get a sling on this!    Son shooting SLR-106 (5.56mm).   |

A win in my book. |

How well does the 716I suppress?

Which version of the Magpul MIAD grip works best on the 716i?
