Finally!

[Doc Harvey]

Just picked up new Sig 716 Patrol! I'm dying to get it out to the range...

[TTS]

I hate you!

[CarRacer]

That's the 7.62 rifle I want. I'm not sure I'll ever get one but it's way more attainable for me than a Scar ever would be. Let us know how you like it.

[sprigfan]

I'm jealous! Hopefully the 516 will be my next rifle. How bad is the price gouging on these right now?

[Doc Harvey]

I probably paid $500 over what I should have (considering these used to go for $1999), but I wanted it badly enough that I didn't care that I over-paid...Alas, this is the LAST GUN I'M ALLOWED TO BUY THIS YEAR, says "She Who Must Be Obeyed", but I'm okay with that as well.

[LS3Miata]

Congratulations. You have me thinking I should pull the AR10 out of the safe.

Lol! It is gonna be a L O N G year for you. C O O L gun man! Got dress up plans for it?

Yup! Haven't decided between FDE and OD. I'd also like to Duracote it.

Either which way, it's gonna turn out F A N T A S T I C I am sure. Enjoy your tinkering

Jealousy, thy name is 7.62 NATO!

[FJ540]

Time to go bang a gong.

There's just something about heavy lead hitting steel at high velocity. Makes me happy. Congrats!

Lol. If you're happy with the purchase, the price isn't really an issue. Hopefully "the boss" will let you enjoy your score!

[JohnGageMN]

The question is, will she let you buy ammo for it...

Yee-haw! I think I want to put a compensator on it. Maybe a vertical grip as well. Ran flawlessly! I cleaned and lubed it with CLP before taking it out to the range (unlike some other people on YouTube, who then complained that they were getting failures to feed). Used Federal XM80C 149 grain 7.62x51. Next on my list is a Sig 556R...She Who Must Be Obeyed doesn't know that yet....

Nice Doc! Maybe you can bring that out to the carbine class this fall
