Perfect for what it's designed to do.,

The 16" Sig 716 is a great mid range assault weapon. It will rarely shoot sub MOA but its distribution patterns are very consistent with almost zero 'flyers' when using good ammo. Yes, it loves Hornady 168, but may have trouble cycling lighter loads before it has been broken in. Mine choked on CBC 147 until I'd fired about 80 rounds of heavier stuff and started using higher viscosity grease on the bolt and buffer spring. Since then it has performed perfectly with everything from 110 to 180 grain. Its recoil is superbly controlled for a .308, so well that I have been able to keep a target within the field of vision of a 16x scope at 100 yards while firing from the bench. It's not a varmint rifle but it isn't meant to be. Its a high functioning combat rifle. It's also very heavy.
The bottom line is that it is the right tool for its job. Don't expect a sniper rifle or a light carbine.

Very accurate, great feeling rifle. Fired 300 rounds through it so far and it's opperation was flawless except for Magtec ammo. The popups were already zeroed. Really seems to like the Hornady 168gr. Don't recommend Magtec ammo-nothing but trouble.
