The SR-762 features the familiar and ergonomic AR-style platform. The .308 Win./7.62 NATO cartridge is well-known to our readers as an ideal hunting cartridge for medium- and large-sized game — as well as enhancing the capability of the AR-style platform in defensive or tactical roles.
Shooters will find lots to like about this rifle. For instance, it retains the features of Ruger's very popular SR-556 (5.56mm, .223) that will make it a solid performer among AR-style rifles. The SR-762's two-stage piston reportedly delivers a smooth power stroke to the one-piece bolt carrier, a feature known to reduce felt recoil and improve the rifle’s durability, according to Ruger.
Also interesting is its four-position gas regulator: It allows the shooter to tune the rifle to function reliably with a broad variety of ammunition and in varying environmental conditions.
A heavy contour, 16.12” chrome-lined, cold hammer forged barrel with a 1:10” twist features exterior fluting to minimize weight while promoting accuracy. Ruger supplies the rifle with its Lightweight Adaptable Handguard, bringing the SR-762 weight to just around 8.6 pounds.
Three 20-round Magpul PMAG magazines are provided with the gun. Folding backup iron sights, a Hogue Monogrip, Picatinny rail sections and rail covers add considerable value to the package for shooters wanting a ready-to-rock gun right our of the box. The six-position stock, sight adjustment tool, and a soft-sided carry case are icing on the cake.
The Ruger SR-762 has a suggested retail price of $2,195.
