I'm glad Ruger ,(and anyone else for that matter), is stepping into the AR10 market.
But for that price I can get the Colt version which can also be turned into a 556 model... |

Listed weight is 8.6 pounds. Not too shabby, especially for a piston. List price is $2195. I hope that means street price is $1600-$1700.

With a street price of $1600/$1700, it becomes doable IMO.

New Armalite, LWRC, KAC, Mega, and now Ruger have that angled profile. |

Here's our first test into the "street value" of the new gun. Also, there are some nice pictures with the auction.

That looks good. I'll have to look into it. There are a few things on my list ahead of an ar10, but that one will definitely get looked at.

Hmmm, look who's not using Troy sights anymore.
The Ruger SR-762 is supplied with Samson flip up sights that speak to the quality of every other aspect of this rifle. |

I dont know much about the pistons but if it is the same as the 556 it has a good track record. Sometimes you just stick with what you know |

I wonder if the bolt & carrier are compatible with DPMS, Armalite, or S&W.
I also wonder if they used a DPMS style buffer or Armalite style. The large frame ARs would benefit from some standardization. |

I agree on the standardization but at this point most companies are too heavily invested in their respective platforms ie Armalite. It baffles me why Smith went their own way and I really would like to know why. No matter though because we are blessed with a plethora of high quality boomers and that is never a bad thing |
