Are ar10s welcome in the 15 thread

Just picked up this sig 716 this morning...won it for $80 bucks at a skeet shoot I was at for work this weekend

Ordered a Nikon M-308 scope and some odg furniture. Plan to make this a hunting longer range bigger game rifle.

Let us know how you like the piston system. My BIL has the 556 version of this. It's in my safe while he's over seas. I don't want to shoot as he hasn't put the first round through it yet.

Not unless you plan on getting that chamber gauged for .308. Unlike virtually every other AR-10, Sig chambers 7.62 NATO instead of .308. That's an issue in two ways, .308 chambers and 7.62 NATO chambers spec'd differently with headspace at the shoulder and commercial hunting ammo is considerably hotter than mil-spec stuff which should be considered when running a piston type AR10 variant.
