AR 10 - Who Has One?

[rdb241]

I have a brand new unfired Ruger SR-762 .308 for sale, was an impulse buy and need $ for other things, otherwise I wouldn't be selling it: WTS OR - NEW IN BOX RUGER SR-762 .308 model 5601[/QUOTE/]




This should be in the rifle classifieds and not here

Ruger SR762

I have a Sig Sauer 716 Patrol. It is accurate, but I have yet to test it's long range accuracy (200-600 yds.) since I haven't had the opportunity to shoot it at any targets over 150 yds. yet. I also just added the Vortex Viper HS 4-16x 44 scope last Christmas, so I'm still sorting it out. The rifle has a 16" barrel and a carbine-length handguard- this may be too short for some- I prefer a longer hand guard as well. It is also not the lightest AR-10 on the market- 9 lbs. without a scope or a magazine loaded, but the weight does steady the rifle as you shoot it.

I have about 100 rounds through it so far- only had 1 jam (shooting in below freezing weather in Oregon), but considering the conditions and the new feed ramps, I'm not concerned. I've done one mag dump and the rifle did not jam (not recommended due the cost of .308 ammo-lol).

Good choice. I bought the Ruger SR-556 FB- very happy with it's performance, I'd suppose the SR-762 performs very similar to it's little brother.

Lucky bastard. That and the ARM are the ones I really want (but I DON'T want the cost of those .308 magazines ).

You make wish I was born a lot earlier.

A .308 with a folding stock and pistol grip? Do you shoot it without the stock? You're a better man than I am Gunga Din...

I know, right?

Seems this thread has not quite "run its course"

Love those - I have the free floated version since it matches my AA piston builds and my wife doesn't notice the 1/2" difference between the 5.56 and 7.62 rifles.

Reliable, slightly heavier than a 5.56, and almost the same length.

Well I'm VERY glad that you have FINALLY seen the light and have admitted it!


Actually, you'd be quite surprised how nice that thing shoots. It's not much more than a x39 AK rifle.

But the Ace shoots more like a 5.56.

I see what ya did there. BUT! at least you followed suite and stuck with .308.

The pic is not an ACE. Look at the mag. It is not a 5.56 mag.

Not yet, but eventually! Predicting AR10 prices will fall, I won't be surprised if we see sub-$800 offerings within the year.

PA-10s can go for a low cost, but not sub $800. Pretty close to $800 right now with a weekend deal going on though.

The Galil design was "upgraded" and the Galil Ace is what its called. This one is in 7.62 NATO (.308). Shoots like a 5.56 (pretty much).

I think you are right - the Adams AR308 piston rifle was selling for $1,100 when I was looking around a year ago and the M&P 10 was near $1,000. Too bad 7.72 ammo doesn't fall to near 5.56 prices as well.

Well news to me. Thanx for the info. Just like they upgraded the UZI. Is this because IMI went IWI? About 20 years ago I had one like stomper posted. But mine had all wood furniture and a bi-pod. I killed my very first deer with that rifle. I am to this day regretting that fact I had to get rid of it.

I have no data to back it up, but I'm basing my prediction on these observations:

1. The AR15 market is likely getting close to the bottom price-wise ($400-$500 AR's aren't uncommon).
2. Many gun owners already own one or multiple AR15's and may be looking to diversify.
3. From what I can tell demand for AR10's is strong.
4. I would guess (again, I don't know) that the manufacturing process for AR10's is similar to that of the AR15.
