To Indian army planners- your beautiful SIG rifle is significantly less effective without a decent LPVO - it’s a crime not to put an optic on such a firearm. Below is what I have for my AR-10. The difference in accuracy beyond 100 meters is not an argument.

Looked it up. It’s a reflex sight- not used for big rifle like SIG 716.

If it’s made in China then no way it will be bought unless they make it in India which will be cheaper to produce than China as well or made in USA but expensive.

We operate sig 716 , but how many we operate ?

 

[FalconSlayers]

@Wisemarko is an ACOG cheaper than an LPVO or is it the other way around?

Trijicon 4x?

Trijicon 4x?

If I’m not wrong 3.5x35 is preferred for 7.62 NATO rifles, any way 4x32 costs the same or approximately similar

Which LPVO did you post specs of? 1x10 if possible should be acquired.

Sig tango 6t, 1-6x24, beyond 6x I feel the scopes get heavier so I’m not sure if it’s worth it.

Every individual soldiers who wielded sig 716i do not need scope which is extra burden of weight for them. Only the dmr or sniper needs. The fin sniper world record holder even prefers iron sight instead. Sorry don't jump on me expensive and shinny scope pushers it hardly works in monsoonal muddy jungles for example.
