Sig716 - Anybody have one? see one? handle one?

I like the dmr  <thumbsup>

Me too, that's a good looking rifle. Everybody is catching 308AR fever, manufacturer-wise anyways, which is really good for us.

This one?

Only reason I ask is because I google "Sig DMR" and everything takes me to the 5.56 version.  <dontknow>

The .308 is a sweet looking rifle.  I'm still OBR-fickle if I'd have to buy one complete, but this is a nice looking stick, right here.

[edgecrusher]

next year you come here and shoot mine  <thumbsup>, i'll make sure i stock up on gmm

[98Z5V]

I'm in for that!  <thumbsup>

Right after I found this thread I got an email from a fellow instructor.  We both work for a non-profit community shooting group, Southern Arizona Firearms Educators (S.A.F.E.) Inc.  He is also an FFL and offered all of us a price on these that will be hard to refuse.

I may have part with the RRA!

details my friend  <thumbsup>. 98z5v is always in the market, he is speaking though me right now  <lmao>

[98Z5V]

Man, that is messed up...  :o  You know he lives close to me, too...  Ironically, I was thinking that when I read what he posted - before reading what you posted...  <laughs>

Speaking of SIG, I found a 20" 5.56 SIG in the wild the other day - in the rack at Wal-Mart of all places.  Looked like a MOE varient, and they were asking $897.  I'll snag the pic from my phone and post it up.

There may be hope for Wally World yet.

Broke.  Er.  Broker.   It's bad enough right now, I can't imagine you moving closer - I won't have a penny to my name...  <laughs>

[edgecrusher]

[98Z5V]

I found out what that SIG was at my local Wally World - the SIG M400 Hunter Black...  <thumbsup>

Chinook to move your safe?

I'm in good company then.  My Ford Ranger is usually doing a wheelie about three inches off the ground on my way to the range.

Commonality, bro, commonality.  Would hate to grab my rifle and the wrong mags.

Maybe I can put one set on one side of the bed, the other set of rifle/mags on the other.

It's just as easy to stuff either square peg into a square hole.

Be careful with potential innuendo, it's dangerous to feed the perverts!  <laughs> <munch>

Sorry...should have said "Stuff a square peg into either square hole."

That's better!  <thumbsup>

I was very interested in the precision 716 myself. A recent look on the Sig Sauer web site shows that model has been removed from the 716 section, leaving only the patrol rifle. My interest in the 716 has now cooled off.

[planeflyer21]

My gun pusher, er, dealer, assures me that the 716 Precision Marksman will be available later this month.  He says he buys only SIG direct and that this information is from SIG.

la la la la la Reach out!  Reach out and touch someone!  Reach out!  Reach out and just say SPANK YOU!!

I was interested in the 716 myself when they first released it at SHOT Show 2010, when it was first designed to take Armalite type mags. Became much more interested when they redesigned it to take PMags/DPMS/SR-25 mags, but them taking so long to get it to market is a bit irksome. I totally understand them wanting to make sure everything is good to go with it before release, but c'mon SIG throw the buying public a bone! Unfortunately I've been reading/hearing some QC issues with some of their other products of late and think I'll pass on it for the moment....unless they've gotten their *stuff* back in order :D.

[planeflyer21]

I understand your frustration, Dustin.

I remember when Polaris was working on getting the Victory motorcycle line to market, they had a number of delays developing their V-twin engine.  After the third or so delay, the president of Polaris said "We are developing an all American made motorcycle from scratch.  We are not going to release it to market until the bugs are gone and the consumer gets what they pay for with their hard earned money."

Everyone I know that owns one will never ride anything else.

I have  buddy waiting on his, they are a sig direct dealer and playing the waiting game. I will get pics and a range report when it comes in.
