I think I'll go for the Sniper model if I can get my hands on one. I've actully told my dealer that I'll take a 516 if he can get one for me, but I'm thinking now that I'll hold out for the 716.

(what he termed them) the smaller ones (and this seems a bit small) worked their way into the extra fine sand when extended. he said they took a shot, pulled their weapons up and reset their bipods due to the support working its way into the very soft dry ground there. they even laid a wrapped ground pads under the bipod to keep their aim and sights more level. i guess this one shown is more a clay and rock version. hazard a guess at what it will cost all fitted out? just happened to browse to this in an idle moment.

In fact if you really want the Stg_90 look you can buy the furniture of any of the 550 series Swiss rifles and put it on the 556 classic and for all intents and purposes you have teh original plus ar cartridges....the really only big difference is the abaility to accept AR cartridges which is a big improvement for American market..... Yes there are already lots of Ar's and AR-10's on American market...so what? why would it be a remotely bad thing to have one more made by a Company that has one of the best track records in the buisiness for quality, and ruggedness? Competition is GOOD. Personally I'd snap at a chance at the Sig 716......Sig Sauer has never failed me.....the only thing more reliable then their products in my life has been death and taxes.

I mean, it has been done before hasn't it? If this is better than the M14 in some way or say and FAL, well, good. Free floating railed handguards along with operator servicing and maintenace is a good thing. I can, and do work on my owne 15s' and 10s'. Wouldn't dream of going at my M1A. Will I still be able to swap a barel on one of these with the tools/skills I have? As far as the magazines go they say, (you know, those guys named "they" that know everything) that the upward tilt of the M14 mag reduces the occurance of bullet set back when chambering in the AR style barrel extension. Seems logical. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great that people are out there being all inovated and stuff, but I never have been sold that this “piston driven” thing is all it’s cracked up to be.
