(GunReports.com) — Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has introduced the new Ruger SR-762, bringing the .308 Win./7.62 NATO cartridge to the company’s SR-556 family of rifles. The Ruger SR-762 has a suggested retail price of $2195.
The SR-762 is a two-stage, piston-driven rifle that delivers power to a one-piece bolt carrier, which reduces felt recoil and improves the rifle’s durability. The four-position gas regulator allows the shooter to tune the rifle to function reliably with a variety of ammunition and in varying weather.
A heavy-contour 16.12-inch chrome-lined, cold hammer forged barrel with a 1:10 twist features exterior fluting. A Ruger Lightweight Adaptable handguard brings the SR-762 in at 8.6 pounds.
Three 20-round MAGPUL PMAG magazines are provided with the SR-762, as are folding backup iron sights, a Hogue Monogrip, Picatinny rail sections and rail covers, a six-position stock, sight adjustment tool, and a soft-sided carry case.
