Thoroughly enjoying a first generation Sig716 in 308 win. Immediately developed a cast bullet gas-checked load and have never had this much fun with a bolt 308, or burned this much ammo. Good thing i can make my own bullets. The rifle is a tad heavy with the piston design, but a lighter weight hand guard should help. It's been completely reliable and consistently begs for more ammo. Accuracy is completely acceptable. I highly recommend a first generation patrol rifle if you can find one

742's had an issue with bolt battering the internal rails, the 7400 design somewhat remedied it . For the guy that goes to the range once a year to check sight-in they are fine if they are kept clean and the magazines are not fubared.

Saw a 742 BDL in .3006 yesterday ( folks running 180s or heavier in the .3006 the reported rail chewing culprits ).
It still had hang tag. Orig owner, unfired.
Dunno what it was going to be priced at.
Even of pristine and to be shot little, that gas block weld/ location could end up causing Mini 14 itis.
Had a minty carbine 3006 so afflicted. Cold bore was 1" high at 100 yds. Next couple werr in decent group 7 inches or so lower.
Let it cool snd itd repeat the cold to hot jump.
No wonder it was in such great shape LOL
I traded it back where I got it.
