Ruger SR-762

[Curtis264]

I am looking for a dealer that sells this gun and have had no luck so far, if anyone could point me in the right direction, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Wow, never realized this till now but I haven't seen an SR762 advertised in a while myself.

^^Same here--My Ruger SR 556 is very accurate. I'd love to explore the SR 762. And yes, I've never seen them advertised anywhere in Canada
I kinda wish they'd have them with 24" bbls--but 20" will do.

I know the first batch had feeding issues (defective lower I think) but last I read is that Ruger has since sorted that out... but that was sometime last summer I read that.

I made a mistake here
I thought Ruger had a Varmint version of the SR 762. This is what I'd like to see.

I just received an email back from Ruger, they stated "In its current configuration (20 rd mag) the SR-762 is not legal for commercial sale in Canada" I am looking for an AR in .308 Cal, anyone have a recommendation for a good AR 308

I'm kicking myself for not picking up an Armalite AR10A when they had them on sale for $1700 last spring. Now they're up to $2200.

I was just looking at the Armalite Ar-10 Tactical with 18" barrel on the Armalite web site, now to find someone who sells it in Canada

Wolverine carries Armalite. If I'm not mistaken, just to make sure that it's an A-series that accepts aftermarket mags. I believe the 10B only accepts proprietary Armalite mags.

 

[Curtis264]

Thanks for the help, I called Wolverine, but they don't have it in stock, they figure 4 - 6 months before they do. It looks like it will be 600.00 more than what i would have paid for the SR-762

Oh well, time to keep looking.

 

[b_w.]

Milarm has had dpms g2's the last few times i was there.

I bought a Windham Weaponry AR-10 model R16FTT-308 from Wanstalls Online, read some really good reviews on the rifle and the company.

Is the Daniel Defense DD5V1 .308 rifle available in Canada yet? Would be a showstopper for sure!

There is a thread on them that wolverine had brought some in at 3600.00 is more than I was looking to pay

Worth every penny...

 

[Trinimon]

Worth every penny...

Not to the guy who's currently having a heck of a time trying to get it running without failures.

Me too but not the SR762. The SR556 VT is the varmint version with SS barrel.

 

[ntm]

The dpms g2 is superior to every .308 ar currently available.
Sounds completely crazy that I'd recommend a dpms over a kac, lmt, dd, etc., I know, but it is what it is.
I'd put the ruger 7.62 down near the bottom of the list, front heavy, not terribly accurate, bad ergos...

 

[zupermann]

The DPMS rifles were a good value for the $$ years ago. Although I cant vouch for the current production ones--people seem to think highly of theirs.
