Lovely! I’d love to try it back-to-back with the M&P AR-10...

[RoosterRedux]

I’ve got the AR-556 and love it. It’s a machine...a tad heavier than a Colt but all the dirt stays up front with the piston and the bolt carrier group stays purdy as a picture.

>> The .308 Win./7.62 NATO cartridge is perfect for hunting medium and most large-sized game

Ha ha! That’s the ticket! It’s an *elk hunting* rifle!

They must’ve thrown that line in there as a trap for the gun grabbers.

Wife just picked up an SR 556 last month. I’m impressed with it.

What good is it if you can’t buy it in Connecticut.

This will drive the Anti-Gun Nuts even Nutty-er

[MasterGunner01]

It is interesting that the AR family of clone manufacturers continues to grow in both .223 Remington/5.56 NATO and .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO. The new Ruger AR in .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO with an adjustable gas piston system is an improvement over the original AR-10 and AR-15 gas impingement systems. I wonder what the muzzle blast is like with the short carbine barrel?

Self-ping for later.

Someone should tell AmmoLand there is only one “e” in debut.

[SampleMan]

No offense to my AR FRiends, but I still think the FN FAL is the perfect 7.62 NATO platform.

Extra large for your viewing pleasure. Nice milled rail mounts are available to replace the standard dust cover.

[yarddog]

It looks nice.

I hope they come out with a longer barrel in the future. I don’t care at all if it has a piston or direct impingement system. I might even prefer the latter since they tend to be more accurate.

Has the price been set yet?

I have a question for my more gun savvy FR brothers. I started shooting again about 6 months ago when I purchased a Sig Saur 9mm pistol on the advice of several here on FR. (I love it). I practice regularly at the range with a friend who also brings along his Rugar Mini 14 rifle. I really love shooting the Mini 14 and I am considering getting one but I know the AR style is all the rage. What are the advantages of the AR style and is there any compelling reason to choose that over a Mini 14 (I’m not concerned about price differences, I can afford either).

[voicereason]

Ruger’s AR platform prices are silly, even on their 5.56 versions. For the money they ask, there are better options, and for a few dollars more, much better alternatives. Not saying they don’t make decent firearms, they do, but some of their prices just seem out of whack.

Beautiful piece of machinery.

Ruger continues to be a great company with excellent products and research. The chart, linked below, is a YTD comparison to GLD, the gold etf:

[Lockbar]

The late Bill Ruger would not have wanted anybody to be able to purchase this rifle made by his own company. He was against “assault weapons” for the average citizen, except for his beloved mini-14. Even tho he is dead, boycott Ruger products.

[LambSlave]

Rather nice; I just bought a PTR-91 a year ago which suits me well.
