The Ruger® SR-762™

Looks good, but they might have a hard time competing with the M&P 10 and SIG 716 at that price point.

This is just an possible observation on my part but maybe they put the cheaper buttstock on because quite a few shooters customize their modern sporting rifles with the buttstock that they prefer. By putting on an economy stock going out the door, they keep the initial price lower so that the tranistion to the optional stock won't be as costly. Look at all the aftermarket components for the 10/22. A lot of people buy the stock/out the door 10/22 and then proceed to sell the factory barrel, factory trigger group, factory stock, etc. on the internet. They then take that money and proceed to heavily customize the receiver with custom aftermarket stocks, custom bull barrels, custom trigger groups, custom sights/scopes, etc. that they want on THEIR CUSTOMIZED 10/22.

Two things here. It would be nice if Ruger sold a 10/22 action only, with or without the bolt and trigger.

You may be right about Ruger putting a lower cost buttstock on the Sr762, but i would guess that the reason is lower unit cost and a higher profit margin.

We had a few of these show up yesterday and sold them for $1599. Ruger did a great job on this one and kept the price super competitive.

HMMMMM! That $1599 price tag shoots some pretty big holes in the $2195.00/$2200 mantra that has been shouted out by those who like other makes of 7.62x51 rifles or just flat don't like Ruger.

Good to hear they were able to bring it to market for a competitive price.... at that price it will be taking some of the market from the SIG 716 for sure.

Hell, at that sort of price and with the selectable setting piston I'm very interested.

I want a .30cal AR and it would be nice to adjust for shooting with it when my can gets out of ATF jail.

Good review . I like Rugers, but I'll pass for now. Purdy gun. If SSP sells 'em for $1599, I'll tell Santa about it.

8.6 lbs seems pretty light for a 308 battle rifle. Especially one with a piston.

Nice gun and price @ SSP. FTW

No kidding. That $1599 price would get me in the door.
