The Sig Sauer SIG716 DMR as the name suggests is a Designated Marksman's Rifle, it covers the gray area between 300 and 800 yards when a bolt action sniper rifle is overkill but a standard carbine has difficulties getting the job done. This rifle has been designed to be true to its name and Sig Sauer was absolutely uncompromising when developing this rifle. Starting with its gas piston action which can be adjusted for various ammunition choices, environmental conditions, or suppressor use, but the benefits don't end there, the SIG716's gas piston system allows the rifle to run cleaner so you can spend less time cleaning/lubricating and spend more time shooting.
The rifle features a free floated handguard for increased accuracy when using a bipod or foregrip and has Keymod attachment points at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. The full length handguard also incorporates a rail that goes from the charging handle to the muzzlebreak perfect for long scopes and night-vision adapters. The rail also has a 20 MOA slant to ensure that you wont max-out your scopes turret adjustment when shooting long range. The heavy contoured barrel is 16 inches long and is cold hammer forged from carbon steel.
Additional Features of the SIG716
- Quick detach sling swivel sockets on left and right sides of the handguard, lower receiver, and stock

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.
