About the SIG Sauer 716 (.308)
The SIG Sauer 716 brings the AR-10 pattern into .308 Winchester, with the most common civilian 716i variant running direct impingement, a 16- or 18-inch barrel, and 20-round magazines. Unloaded weight sits near 9.5 pounds, which the caliber's recoil makes feel reasonable rather than burdensome. A free-floated M-LOK handguard accepts accessories without disturbing barrel harmonics, and the two-stage trigger improves noticeably on standard mil-spec pulls. The rifle suits buyers who want semi-automatic reach toward 800 yards without assembling a large-frame AR from parts.
