Ruger SR-556

I've read that they suffer from some pretty serious carrier tilt. May want to hold off until this issue is addressed.

I've been reading some ARFCOM threads about this...anybody here have one and put some rounds through it?

I might buy one this month...as much as I hate being an early adopter and doing Ruger's R&D for them...

They're just damn cool.

I would love to put some rds down range with one. I too have been reading on ARF about them and they seem to be pretty accurate even with a 1-9" brl. If you get one, please keep us updated.

Dealers had them priced for $1600 and $1650 out the door at the Tulsa show this weekend. I like the looks of them and they say they are pretty accurate. The carrier tilt worries me though.

ach.....that is...brutal tilt.

Bye bye buffer tube in another case or two.

This may not be the place for this but, what is carrier tilt exactly and what causes it?


Thanks.
