Anyone Know SIG716 Precision Marksman Rifle
 

Looking for a 7.62X51 / .308 autoloader Found this one.
I'm a sig pistol fan, but no experance with this rifle.
Any one have one? Your thoughts?

Hell, that's not badly priced either. 2199 USD for the Precision Marksman variant.

Might work as a backup plan if the import for the M1a falls through.

"The SIG716 rifles are gas-piston operated with a 3 round-position (4-position optional) gas valve – a design that keeps the receiver free of firing residue for optimum reliability under adverse conditions and
extended firing"

Does that mean that the bolt is pushed back by a rod as opposed to exhaust gas? Basically an AK design, yes?

Wow, that looks like a beast and since buying my 238 im a huge sig fan.

As I understand it, the gas pushed the piston and the helps get the dirty exhaust gases out of the bolt area...
