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? |

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