shibiwan Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 It qualifies IMO, just like the Sig 716.... :)
planeflyer21 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 What is this of which thou speakest?!
Dane Armory Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Saw the Ruger 762 on the Ruger tv show last week ! I like it a lot ! Been sniffing the Ruger fumes to much lately.
planeflyer21 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 This may make up for their failed XGI.
shibiwan Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Seen a couple of them in person... looks rather decent! (...but I'm not a fan of 16" .308 barrels) Edited November 14, 2013 by shibiwan
planeflyer21 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 I wasn't a fan of 16" .308 barrels…until I got my RRA EO.
BLKSHEEP Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Posted November 25, 2013 RUGER SR-762 I think someone's sleeping :tweed: <dontknow>
Matt.Cross Posted November 25, 2013 Report Posted November 25, 2013 RUGER SR-762 I think someone's sleeping :tweed: <dontknow> I'm hot on the trail of one of those, Ruger is coming to NC and I may have a connection for getting one at employee cost!
DSW308 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Darn, wish there was more on the 762 here, I'm waiting on mine to show up, LGS is sayin' a few weeks... somewhere I heard they were being allocated... anyone else?
unforgiven Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 G&A on TV had featured the Sig 7.62.Was a positive piece and hte rifle looked good too.
Head Space Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 I've had a DPMS "SASS" for a year or so, and am pleased with it, as a long range shooter, as it is too heavy and unwieldy to carry as a "Patrol Rifle". I received a Ruger SR-762 a few days ago. I put a Bushnell ET6245F on it, which I "borrowed" from my DPMS. I've been to the range and expended a hundred rounds out to 300 yds utilizing a Caldwell Lead Sled FCX. Overall, 1.5 MOA (not counting reload fliers) using 168 Gr. Federal Premium .308, German NATO 7.62, and Reloads (two fliers). No Failures. Very pleased! I'll put the Bushnell back on the DPMS and put an Aimpoint on the SR-762 as it is comfortable for more of a CQB application. I came across this Forum while searching for info on a "BAD" (Battery Assist Device) for the Ruger. If anyone out there knows of one, please let me know.
98Z5V Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 I came across this Forum while searching for info on a "BAD" (Battery Assist Device) for the Ruger. If anyone out there knows of one, please let me know. Phase 5 EBR V2. You need to check if it will fit your rifle. That's your only hope. Do some research. http://www.phase5tactical.com/products/308-dpms-type/extended-bolt-release-v2308-ebrv2308
beachmaster Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Any personal reviews on this rifle? If it shoots 1.5 moa for the first 100 rounds I would think the barrel would settle to just under moa. I am bummed to see so little info on here! But I guess that is because people simply buy the Sr762, customization is limited and you really cant build one... Any info on parts compatibility and manufacturing origins of the ruger parts?
fvoak2 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 FYI - there's a real good write up on this gun in the Feb. 4 issue of The Shotgun News.
98Z5V Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 There will be a real good hands-on writeup right here within a couple weeks. <thumbsup>
beachmaster Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Thats what I like to hear! Its too late to have an sr762 in my future, but I sure would like to recommend it!
unforgiven Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Dillons "Blue Press" has a writeup on the SR-762 also.Bag,rails and 3 mags is a great extra. <thumbsup>
BLKSHEEP Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Posted June 5, 2014 Well it looks like Ruger has pencil pusher making the decisions about what mags to ship with the SR-762. For whatever reason they stooped using PMags & went to DPMS steel mags that don't work :cookoo: If Ruger has a hair on its butt it will send every owner a credit. http://tinyurl.com/ms6y7hy
beachmaster Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I personally kinda prefer the dpms mag over the p mag due to its construction and size IF it works. If they dont run right, ruger has definitely made a mistake. They might have done it because magpul is having difficulty keeping up with production. Who knows? If anyone happens to be selling 3 dpms mags that dont work, my dpms rifle loves them, and I could buy them. ;-) In fact, if they wanted to give me a good deal, ill trade them my p mag for their dpms and buy the other two.
beachmaster Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 But on a more serious note, there are alot of reviews hanging out there that the gen III Magpulls dont work well in the dpms GII, ruger 762, or Sig 716, so maybe magpul isn't making the genII's anymore, and the companies dont want their gen III because they dont feed properly. Which wouldn't make too much sense if they offered dpms instead, which also didn't feed properly.
FaRKle! Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 The Gen 3 mags work just fine in my PWS and LMT.
beachmaster Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I just read about specific issues in the sig 716, dpms gii, and ruger 762, but the issues had might have been isolated. Who knows.
lastblack80 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Posted August 7, 2014 I own a SR762, and I absolutly love it. Very light and relaiable piston driven 308.
