    Have not shot one. But have looked at a few battle rifles lately. The Sig was very impressive. Lightweight. Good furniture.Well put together. Good profile Barrel. Only thing I wish it had was a adjustable gas block. But other than that for the price I was blown away.

    My Belgian Defense Team back in the day. I still have the DSA58. Talon’s waiting for me across the bridge.

    The MP-10 requires full power commercial 308 to function correctly.

    Extractor springs are weak.

    If I recall, it comes with carbine weight buffer. It could use an H2.

    Shooting it with the M4 style buttstock is painful.

    The factory gas block and muzzle devices are boat anchors.

    Use a DPMS low style free float tube. Carbon fiber tubes handle the heat better.

    PS- The metal factory mags won’t work unless you modify them with extreme prejudice using a big hammer and buy MagPul replacements.

    One early change I did was to put an MOE buttstock on it with a limbsaver pad. I see that they now have Magpul SL pads.

    I used to have a scope on mine, but right now it has Daniel Defense irons.

    AR 10 type is on my short list as well. Had a school shooting here the third day of school last week. Governor starts banging her gums about "weapons of war". If she gets legislation moving I see a few lowers moving into the safe for future projects. 6.5CM, or .308 for me, .300BO for each of the kiddos.

    Mine originally had the boat anchor muzzle device. After a couple years, I took it off and put an A2 style flash hider on it, and I noticed much more recoil and muzzle rise.

    After a few years of that, I recently put a Wilson Combat Q-combat muzzle brake on it. I like the way it shoots. I haven't put a ton of rounds through it, but I did get it pretty well sighted in at 100 yards. Which is definitely a meditative eye exercise, with iron sights, for me.

    I drunk bought this 716i a while back. I haven't been able to shoot it beyond a function check before I took the rattle cans to it, and sourced the elcan. I echo what Trukinjp13 said. Seems well put together.

    I did make a couple of minor tweaks. The stock trigger is a very average single stage, so I added a LaRue MBT-2S. the rifle ships with a Magpul SL-K stock, I didn't care for it on this rifle, so I swapped it out for the slightly bigger SL-S model. The factory safety selector is perfectly useable as-is, but I had a spare Badger FDE one laying around, so after I painted the rifle, I put the Badger short throw selector in.

    I put a few rounds through an older 716 yesterday. It felt way harsher than my OLD Noveske N6, if my memory serves me well
