Is there really anything techincally wrong with the 516? I haven't seen or handled one which is why I'm asking. Given that it's a Sig it will undoubtedly be overpriced compared to some of the other preferred alternatives out there like Colt, BCM, DD, etc. But price aside is it really a bad choice of AR in terms of performance? Googling reviews for it doesn't really turn up any bad feedback on it. Nothing stellar, but nothing awful either. Anyone have firsthand hard use data on it?
I'm wondering if Sig actually put out a dog of a piston AR or if it's really just a matter of cost/benefit (and overall value) ratio being weak compared to others? In other words it may not be the best choice, and some may feel it was a poor choice, but was it actually a BAD choice?
How bad of a choice are we talking here? Bad as in "they got suckered and could have gotten more AR for less $$" or bad as in "someone might die because of that choice"? I wouldn't think Sig products are that bad... DPMS and Olympic maybe. :) Also, considering that they allegedly stole the BCG design from LWRC and copied the piston design from HK how bad could it be, right. ;)
