Needs a 22/25/6.5 Creed bbl !

I wonder if this will stick better than the DPMS G2 models?

Hey Ruger, you screwed up on this one. At this point in time if your making an AR type rifle that's new at this price point it needs to have real ambi safety, mag and bolt release controls or its not up to the times. The product development folks at Ruger should understand this.

I believe Rugers have a 40% failure rate in our classes. I wouldn’t trust a Ruger 556, much less a 762.

i have a Red precision Ruger AR-10 bolt rifle i purchased 2 years ago in a 6.5 Creedmoor this rifle at 100 yards - 5 shot groups will shoot 1/2 inch groups all day long , i do have a Nightforce target scope , my hand loads , and i set the trigger down 2lbs. also . it is a very easy rifle to use and shoot. if this helps you any ?

I own 2 AR15s. A Ruger MPR and a Colt 6920. I have a lot more trigger time on the Ruger. I've yet to have a malfunction with the MPR..... My colt on the other hand has hiccuped a few times. I trust both but it is what it is.

I’ll keep my M1a, thank you.

They are nice, fun to shoot.

My Ruger MPR is dead nuts reliable in 5 years of plinking and predator calling. It's a very accurate rifle.

Ruger's SR762 had a great record I thought....wonder why they are adding a DI rifle to an already successful, piston platform.

I'm just dipping my foot in now to the AR308 game, I went with Christensen. So far, it's all good.

My understanding is that the SR762 has been discontinued.

edit: yes, it's gone from the catalog.

You're so full of [bleep]....

6.8lbs is pretty good.

This mornings outing with the MPR......

Nice shooting!

a 55 gr 308 bullet ?

Remington Accelerators… LOL

Hey Bluedraux! What was the biggest failure of the Ruger 556? I saw a pic of the earlier bolt carriers & they were pitiful. Why they cut one that way is a mystery. To save 50 cents worth of material or machine time?

Who said anything about a 55g .30cal?

From an earlier post.... Basically, they're just carelessly built. Like all budget ARs.
