(NYSE: RGR) is pleased to announce the new Ruger\u00ae SR-762\u2122, bringing the .308 Win.\/7.62 NATO cartridge to the popular SR-556\u00ae family of rifles. The SR-762\u2122 offers the downrange authority of the .308 cartridge in a two-stage, piston-driven rifle that runs cooler and cleaner than traditional gas-driven AR-style rifles.<\/p>\n<p>The SR-762\u2122 is an ideal rifle for those who appreciate the familiar and ergonomic AR-style platform. The .308 Win.\/7.62 NATO cartridge is perfect for hunting medium and most large-sized game and enhances the capability of the AR-style platform in defensive or tactical roles.<\/p>\n<p>The SR-762\u2122 retains the features of the original SR-556\u00ae that make it a solid performer among AR-style rifles. The patent-pending, two-stage piston delivers a smooth power stroke to the one-piece bolt carrier, which reduces felt recoil and improves the rifle\u2019s durability. The four-position gas regulator allows the shooter to tune the rifle to function reliably with a broad variety of ammunition and in varying environmental conditions.<\/p>\n<p>A heavy contour, 16.12\u201d chrome-lined, cold hammer forged barrel with a 1:10\u201d twist features exterior fluting to minimize weight, yet provides outstanding accuracy. With the Ruger\u00ae Lightweight Adaptable handguard in place, the SR-762\u2122 weighs 8.6 pounds and balances comfortably.<\/p>\n<p>Three 20-round MAGPUL\u00ae PMAG\u00ae magazines are provided with the SR-762\u2122. Folding backup iron sights, a Hogue\u00ae Monogrip\u00ae, Picatinny rail sections and rail covers add considerable value to the package, as does the six-position stock, sight adjustment tool, and a soft-sided carry case.<\/p>\n<p>The Ruger\u00ae SR-762\u2122 has a suggested retail price of $2,195.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the new Ruger\u00ae SR-762\u2122, or to learn about the extensive line of award-winning Ruger\u00ae firearms, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/Ruger.com\" target=\"_blank\">Ruger.com<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/Facebook.com\/Ruger\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook.com\/Ruger<\/a>.
