SIG716 Patrol Rifle
November 12, 2012 in Guns
“The SIG 716 features a hammer forged barrel with a one-in-ten twist. This relatively fast twist rate works well with most everything available in factory .308, including heavyweight match bullets. To add corrosion resistance and durability, SIG’s chrome-lined the 716′s chamber and bore. The rifle barrel’s threaded in the 5/8-24 pattern; it will accept most aftermarket flash hiders and muzzle brakes. The SIG 716 has four gas settings: an off position, a suppressed position, a normal operating position and an overgassed setting. The latter is handy for underpowered ammo or heavily fouling.”
Caliber: .308 Winchester
Barrel: 16 inches, 1:10 twist
Weight: 9.3 lbs.
Operation: Short stroke pushrod, rotating bolt
Finish: black
Capacity: 20 rounds (takes standard SR-25 magazines)
