    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Another advantage of choosing the combination, of these two rifles is that, both these are AR10 / AR 15 style rifles, with almost identical manual of arms and ergonomics, so minimum retraining for troops....Anybody who had fired an AR15 can fire another AR15 of another brand blindfolded(believe...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Good conclusion and summarization, in a thread, where same information is being repeated again and again.... Thus, without going into politics or blaming Indian Army, i would say this is a very very good deal(if they manage to finalize the SIG 716 Gen 2 and Caracal 816)... To me what is...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    Simple question is .....how do we know that Sig has asked for 3000 $ per rifle and Caracal has Quoted 1000 $ ??? Because if that was the case then Caracal would have been the L1 lowest bidder winner and not Sig...... Just because a gun is priced at 3000$ in US market, doesn't mean that , it...

    Indian Army SIG Sauer 716 assault rifle.

    The actual rifle would be SIG DMR G2(Generation 2). According to very knowledgeable sources here is US, it's a very very accurate(1/2 to 3/4 MOA), very reliable and modular. It's way more accutate than the Dragunov (a dedicated DMR) and outclasses Tavor in accuracy and range....Also, it's more...
