I have one and I absolutely love it. I installed an SSAE trigger and swapped the stock and grip for an str snf moe plus. very accurate rifle and has not malfunctioned yet, even shooting wolf, suppressed with my SDN6 attached. the adjustable gas system is excellent. I believe it is lighter then the Sig as well. CHF barrel will last a very long time. I am extremely pleased with it, and am wanting its little brother now, the sr556.

I would consider buying an upper for my existing SR25 angle cut lowers (if they sold uppers).

I also have one. Great rifle once the trigger issue is resolved either by replacement or polishing. The other thing to be aware of is that the factory installed Sampson sights are not always real tight tending to make some believe that the gun cannot be zeroed. I considered the Ruger and the Sig 716, but went with the Ruger due to lighter weight.

handled one today at my LGS, it was several hundred more than online, but I was surprised by the lack of weight.
The grip seems like an Ergo grip which is fine with me, the stock is junk and I would swap that out for sure. I will probably start shopping to pick one up. |

How does the ruger stack up against the s&w m&p10?

I've noted that the M&P10 is about 1 pound less than the SR-762. And the Ruger is about 2 - 3 hundred more (although the Ruger comes with 3 mags a carrying case, rails, and comes with flip up BUIS.)
The M&P is supposed to be about a 1 MOA shooter, the SR-762? The Ruger definitely looks cooler. Decisions, decisions. |

$1441 into the safe. When you can shut the gas system off and shoot single shot suppressed with an M&P I'll buy one.

If I were going to buy a lower priced 7.62 I'd buy a 716.

The MP10's I've fondled on the rack at lgs all have indentations on the safety stops all the way through the finish. Are ya'll having issues with the safeties banging and norging the safety stops?

l would not touch M&P, Ruger, or DMPS they have lot of QC issues and bad customer service I bought one of the early rifles, that shipped with Gen 2 P-Mags. It ran fine...with Gen 2 P-Mags. It would not feed with Gen 3 P-mags. It went back to Ruger (on their dime) and they replaced the upper receiver and the bolt carrier group. It still had the same lower. Afterward, it would run with either Gen 2 or Gen-3 P-Mags, but I couldn't zero the BUIS. I would still be way low with the front sight post bottomed out. The magazine issue with the older rifles was that the cut for the mag catch was just slightly too low. Whatever Ruger did with the replacement upper to address this made the POI low. The rifle went back again (on their dime) and they replaced it with a current production rifle that runs great with both Gen 2 and Gen 3 P-Mags and has no POA/POI issues. I think that's superb customer service. Rosco |

I havent had the chance to see a ruger in action yet . Im pretty sure . a dpms genII is in my future after a nice guy let me shoot a 20 round mag through his. |

My only issue was the buis shooting approximately 4 inches low with the front sight post adjusted all the way down. Ruger claimed I could ship the entire rifle back to them however their tolerances were 2 inches at 50 yards (I find BS). In irritation I took a Dremel to the sight and fixed the issue however they were willing to address it. Overall great rifle and ruger's reply below.... Response: Our tolerance is 2" at 50yds.

I'm a huge Ruger revolver fan, I've not tried their AR's though. I can say they have some of the best customer service in the business and wouldn't be afraid to buy anything Ruger. I have fondled the M&P10 and it was a very, very nice 7.62 AR. Was well made and I was amazed by the weight, it didn't feel any heavier than my AR15's. We have a M&P15 and it has performed flawlessly along with having very impressive accuracy so I know they know how to build an excellent AR. I love Ruger's but I think I'll probably go with the M&P10 when I get ready to buy a 7.62 AR.

I also bought one of the early problem SR762s. Ruger fixed it pretty quickly by replacing the upper receiver and just the bolt. They also covered shipping both ways. I took it to the range and it now works with every magazine I tried. Mine appeared to be zeroed at the factory, since the sights were right on at 50 yards, and there does not appear to have been excessive adjustments to the sights. The rear was pretty much centered and the front looks like it has maybe three or four clicks of elevation on it.
Why anyone would shoot a rifle without ensuring the sights are secure is beyond me. |

The newest SR-762s have a different upper forging entirely. The other thread has a bunch of information, but basically I think they changed some geometry in the feeding/chamber area to improve performance with Gen3 PMAGs and DPMS mags. I haven't shot mine yet (moving sucks!) but reports are that the latest edition SR-762s are lock solid.

I never fired the early ones, but got to fire one last week at the range. The owner said he bought it in June and all his paperwork lead him to think it was built in March 2014. He had a whole variety of mags, and they all worked. I got to dump 20 rounds and it ran great.
I am excited to get mine even more now. |
