For those of us with funds, these look pretty nice: gunsamerica.com We first saw the SIG716 at Media Day at the Range, SHOT Show 2012, but didn't get to shoot it. The SIG716 uses the same short stroke system as the SIG516, but in 7.62 NATO (.308 Winchester). It is one of many new rifles this year in the AR-15 platform, with AR hardware, that is a step up in ballistics. The 716 will be a welcome addition in this class of rifle, with a hefty improvement over standard gas impingement AR design. The SIG716 will be available in black, tan and OD green. The SIG516 comes out in a new "Russian" version this year in the 7.62x39 caliber of the AK-47 rifle, and it takes AK mags. For fans of the cartridge this is a duty-quality rifle and a significant development. The M400 is a Mil-Spec AR-15 rifle from Sig. A lot of police armorers and Sig enthusiasts who rely already on Sig products have been asking for a standard AR from Sig, and now they have it in the M400. All of the 516/716 guns are completely ambidextrous, including the sling mounts. Note the sand in the desert on Media Day, and the Sigs never failed. This is the SIG551-A1 which is a new version of the 556 that resembles the original Swiss 550 rifle on which the 556 was based. It is only available in 5.56 NATO, and has a folding buttstock. The regular 556 is available with standard AR mags but this A1 just comes with the original polymer Swiss mags. All of the Sig rifle designs will be available in SBR configurations this year. This is a 10 version of the 551-A1.
