Sig Sauer has developed a reputation for designing some of the highest tier firearms on the civillian market and the Gen 2 SIG516 does its job in reinforcing that reputation.

The rifle's gas piston system can be adjusted for various ammunition choices, weather conditions, or suppressor use, but the benefits don't end there, the SIG516's gas piston system allows the rifle to run cleaner so you can spend less time cleaning/lubricating and spend more time shooting.

About Sig Sauer
From humble beginnings as a wagon to factory to one of the world’s largest firearms, optics, and ammunition manufacturers; the history of Sig Sauer is rich in innovation and achievement. After winning a contract from the Swiss government in 1864 for their Prelz-Burnand muzzleloading rifles, the Swiss Wagon Factory change its name to Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaf, the Swiss Industrial Company, better known as SIG. In 1949 SIG developed the SIG P49, the predecessor to the P210 and continued developing small arms for the Swiss military and police.
Since then the company has changed its name, acquired other firearm manufacturers, and crossed the Atlantic—setting up headquarters in New Hampshire. However, what hasn’t changed is the innovative spirit that has driven SIG SAUER to develop firearms like the SIG516 rifle, MCX rifle, P320 pistol, and P226 pistol. With clients like the Texas Rangers, United States Secret Service, Navy Seals, and dozens of local law enforcement agencies nationwide; SIG SAUER is there When It Counts.
