#SIGSauer.716iTREAD

Over the past couple of years, India’s military has embarked on its most serious attempt to modernise its small arms to date. One of the key early successes in this effort was the selection and procurement of over 72,000 SIG Sauer 716i 7.62x51mm rifles in February 2019.

Dear diary. It feels like an eternity since I have expressed my thoughts and feelings to you. When we last spoke I was in the middle of a love triangle. In one corner was the classic American “round next door”; a slender and sleek 5.56mm sweetheart that is easy going, reliable and comfortable in almost any situation. In the other corner was a more exotic round; a curvier contour with a bit more… mass. With expensive tastes, this 300BLK spinner is a lot of fun, with wild personality swings of raw pleasure and sass. Then there’s me, caught in the middle between simple utility and toe-curling pleasure. But it turns out two loves are not enough for my lusts and I’m writing you today to propose adding a third outlet into my life. Older, more experienced and professionally powerful, this would fill a longer-term role. Should I make this triangle into a square and add the SIG Sauer TREAD 716i battle rifle chambered in .308 Winchester? Please don’t say no, I’ve already succumbed to her love.
