The New Ruger SR-762 Rifle

Sturm, Ruger & Co. announced the release of the new SR-762 rifle.  The new rifle is chambered in 7.62 NATO (aka 7.62×51) and uses a two-stage piston system like the one used in the SR-556 rifles.  The 16.12″ barrel is chrome lined and threaded for the easy addition of a suppressor.  A Mini-14 type flash suppressor ships standard.

The SR-762 will ship with three Magpul magazines, folding iron sights, rail covers and a soft-sided carrying case.  MSRP is $2,195.  Many readers may already know this, but the 7.62 NATO cartridge is based on the .308 Winchester cartridge.  Both cartridges can be fired safely from the SR-762 rifle.
