I am new to the 308 AR and have been looking at the Sig 716 with DI.
Any thoughts on if this is a good / bad place to start? I know they have a lot of proprietary parts, but I do not plan on doing many upgrades. It will probably be a just-in-case gun that only gets used occasionally. |

It's way too heavy for what it is and such a short bbl. Only thing I did was put an AccuTac 3 prong on the end, and get ripped off for the proprietary Sig Charging Handle, which was needed, also the bigger Magpul SL on the other end. The lighter Ruger SFAR wasn't out yet when I bought the Tread, but probably would've bought that with the 20"bbl option. The Tread shoots dead nuts, 100% function with ALL ammo.

It's very light for a large frame. |
