I like the takedown model but it costs $2049 on the website. Then the 300 Blackout barrel kit is $449. I like the piston type, cleaner, cooler but I'm looking for a 300 Blackout barrel ...
Sr-556 accuracy - Ruger Forum
Dec 27, 2014 · Sr-556 accuracy. I finally got a scope (Leopold 6-18 power) and shot my 556 for the first time today. Honestly I wasn't impressed with the accuracy.

Jan 10, 2019 · With the introduction of the AR-556, if Ruger had any sense they'd keep expanding their direct impingement line to include 7.62/.308. I was lucky enough to get a SR-762, but would have liked to have gotten one of the take-down 556s. My concern is that Ruger may stop servicing the piston guns like the did the Deerfield.

SR-556 Trigger.... - Ruger Forum
Mar 8, 2013 · I recently built a new lower for my 6.8 SPC SR556 upper and put a CMMG LPK in a DPMS stripped lower and the trigger is fabulous - 4.5 lb single-stage and breaks crisply like breaking glass. The trigger alone is worth the price of the whole kit ($68). The SR556 series can shoot with the best with proper triggers.
