I would have posted the details of tender/RFI in Indian army thread.If I am not wrong, Army has placed orders for indigenous optics last month. I don't remember how many they ordered.

Is that a sarcastic question :biggrin2:Hey guys, which optics India is considering to buy for these rifles?
I don't know that's why I asked. Nothing more or less.Is that a sarcastic question :biggrin2:
Haha you failed to spot the joke I guess ! We all know how the jokers in IA purposely buy the most unequipped version of a rifle , god forbid if there was a sig with the option of no P rails I bet my bollocks they would have ordered that ! This being the case you asking for a sight to be ordered is a bit rich what ?I don't know that's why I asked. Nothing more or less.
If the selected model for IA is 716G2 patrol then it's a battle rifle not a DMR. I doubt IA is having designated rifle for DMR role as it is using SVD only for sniping. DMR is used for ranges 500-1000 m whereas sniper rifles could engage targets beyond 1000m.Sig 716 with the Army serve as a DMR.
Without optics, that rifle is practically useless.
Not Yet bro the army still didn’t distribute the guns to the Rashtriya Rifles Units in Kashmir yet.Any pictures of our soldiers carrying this beast?
It’s going to be used as a Battle Rifle not a DMR. For DMR Purpose the Army uses SVDs or Modernized SLRs.Sig 716 with the Army serve as a DMR.

Dont think RR will be getting these babies. These are mostly for Line Infantry not COIN troops.Not Yet bro the army still didn’t distribute the guns to the Rashtriya Rifles Units in Kashmir yet.
I was thinking out of the 74,000 Rifles Ordered half will go to Army units on the LoC and other half will go to RR Troops replacing there AKs. There many RR Battalions who help the Normal Army LoC Units in protecting there areas and sectors. There was recently news about how RR Battalions are now being tasked with controlling or Stoping cross border Porki Terrorist infiltration along the LoC along with there Counter-Insurgency Operations on the Interior Areas so RR Troops getting SiG-716 isn’t a far fetched idea.Dont think RR will be getting these babies. These are mostly for Line Infantry not COIN troops.

This is going to sound very superficial, but I just don't like the thought of Kalashnikovs being the main assault rifle for the Indian army. They do not have a modern appearance and almost no professional army uses them as standard. I'm sure the AK 103 is modern and will suit the requirements of the army, but I don't like the visuals in my head of Kalashnikovs becoming standard for most troops.
I hope they at least have picatinny rails and adjustable buttstock as standard.
We are using DSR, Negave and Galil for sniping.What guns are being used by our snipers? I think currently pakistani snipers have an edge over them. Can someone shade a light on this?
Patrol Variant - Full Auto / Semi / SafeIf the selected model for IA is 716G2 patrol then it's a battle rifle not a DMR. I doubt IA is having designated rifle for DMR role as it is using SVD only for sniping. DMR is used for ranges 500-1000 m whereas sniper rifles could engage targets beyond 1000m.
