Narrowed my two choices down to a PWS or sig 516... wouldn't mind hearing a little insight/thoughts/experiences?
thanks in advance...

PWS or Sig Sauer 516?

PWS is a quality brand from what I've heard about them. I've never shot either of the two rifles so I'm just basing some thoughts on what I've read on other forums from people who tested them. I haven't heard about very many problems with the PWS, same with the Sig. Although on one of the forums I visit, I do remember a gentleman having problem with the extractor support located inside the barrel extension. Both look like quality firearms.

Haven't personally handled the PWS, though I like the concept. The Sig on the other hand, their quality seems to be slipping as of late, tooling marks all over the BCG, and a takedown no-where near as simple as the Adams Arms conversions.
PWS.
I picked mine up on the recommendation of my brothers who are still doing the do in Af-Pak. I have a Mk112 Mod0 that I have reached out to 500m with using only a T-1. I have had no stoppages and I clean the damned thing once every 1500-2000 rounds! I have had no stoppages in over 6000 rounds. When you pop the hood you'll see an AK long stroke piston system. Get the Triad flash suppressor as well.

No experience with the Sig. Love my PWS Mk112 Mod 0. CTR, RVG, MIAD, Geissele Super-dynamic 3G, and an Accupoint 1-4. Easily my favourite gun. My mother-in-law was making head shots on a torso target at 100 yds about 15 min after the first time she ever fired a gun in her life. Surprised she didn't turn on me...
