510 is good, maybe sig romeo? Installed it on my last build and it's pretty good

I actually pivoted and decided to go with one of these as it'll fit my use case well and got good reviews.
Still trying to nail down an optic choice for my 16". Can't decide if I want LPVO or something like a 3x magnified microprism. I've just been using irons in a short range for now.
Really want to finally find an outdoor range near me where I can go beyond 25yds.

Looks pretty good, I've managed to snag Sig Romeo myself for half a price on Black Friday. Don't even have anything to mount it on currently, but that's next in line to figure out.
It feels like there are far less outdoor ranges compared to 10 years ago. A lot more indoor ones those days.
Looking for rrecommendations for a 1-6x for a ruger 556. It has a front fixed sight and flip up rear. Currently has a romeo red dot that will go over to the pcp.
Also open to one of the black fri romeo/juliet combos too.
Would like pros and cons from those more experienced than me
I've got a new foreend to replace the plastic, drop in UTG with a rail up top and mlok on the sides.

Vortex makes a Strike Eagle in 1-6x that is relatively budget friendly for pretty good quality (in my experience). The reticle pattern is easy to use, it can be illuminated if you want to turn it on, and you can’t beat the “no questions asked” return/repair policy (I’ve done it before; it’s legit). The only con I’ve experienced is being only a 24mm opening, it doesn’t gather a ton of light. It can be hard to see targets at distance in low light. For reference though, that happened to me in a competition at like 5:30pm in the winter shooting steel targets at 500yds.
I just ordered a PA 1-6x SLx for my 16” AR after doing a lot of reading on different options. I like the acss reticle and they were on sale. Seems like a pretty even comparison between the PA and Vortex. Then it comes down to reticle preference.

Didn't Remington 700s have some similar issues a few years back?
Yep. Supposedly could fire without warning once chambered. I can't recall if the safety had anything bearing on the matter.
Sounds about right. Ruger have this or a similar problem too?
Got my optics in the mail today. Just need to get them sighted in now.
Absolutely true. My late uncle shot his then brand new 1981 Toyota 4wd pickup when he flipped the safety off to unload the rifle. He blamed himself til the day he died. The recall came out after he passed.
The rifle was in the cab with the muzzle pointed down and off to the passenger side of the transmission tunnel. The bullet went through the floor and into the right front tire just inside of the outer edge of the tread.
The bullet exited just inside of the inside edge of the outer tire bead and blew through the wheel, barely missing the locking hub.
He brought the tire wheel assembly to me, totally embarrassed and asked me to help. I broke the tire off the wheel and ditched the wheel with the bullet hole.
I then took the tire to one of the mechanics in the shop. He was an army reserve guy that was a motor pool mechanic. He took one look at the tire and said " that looks like someone shot it with an ought-6!" Well not only was his instinct correct he also nailed the caliber.
He fixed the tire with a mil-spec bullet plug.
I still have the rifle.

I’m not denying that there are defective guns out there. What I’m saying is it be hard to convince someone that has spent any time as a weapons instructor that it was not user error.
The examples in the article posted seems suspect to me as well as lacking details needed to make an accurate assessment on wether it was user error or not.
I have only ever seen a weapon system fire on its own during heavy fire fights and sometimes live fire exercises when a machine gun started cooking off rounds due to hot barrels “run away gun”.
EDIT: Just remembered blow back weapons are inherently dangerous and although I have never seen it personally it is well documented that they are prone to cooking off rounds if they are hit hard enough when the safety is off.

That's quite a tale. I feel terrible for your uncle. IIRC, Remington offered some sort of new trigger assembly as a "fix" but I could be wrong.
I will say that I've seen a lot of sh*t trigger discipline that seems to be endemic with new shooters. Careful and unrelenting instruction and good fundamental foundations are the only fix I can think of. That and a legitimite desire to improve by the shooter (dry fire, good reps, etc).

I had a double barrel (side) 12ga years ago the if you weren't ever so gentle closing it the right barrel would fire. ( Damn near peppered my grandpa's car one day). I eventually took it to a smith who replaced a part. Still never trusted it though.
