I noticed that Ruger is no longer offering the SR-762 on their web page. Glad I bought one while they were still available. I've shot many wild hogs with mine and it has been flawless.

Yep, looks like all the SRs are gone, no more piston, just direct impingement. Very sad.

Some of us (myself included) far prefer a piston operated semi-auto to direct impingement. An AR-762 may well be in the works, but I'm sorry to see the SRs go.

Yeah, Not only the SR-762 but the last of the SR-556's (Take down) are also discontinued. seeing the handwriting on the wall
sometime back I grabbed up as many variations as were available.

**SR-556**
556-VT in 204 Ruger (PROTOTYPE) Never released commercially
556-FB in 5.56 M/M
556-FB IN 6.8 SPC
556-T/D FB in 300 Blackout
556-T/D KM in 5.56 M/M
556 T/D Accessory light & Heavy barrels in 5.56 M/M and 300 B/O (Heavy barrels were never released commercially)

**SR-762**
762 IN 308 Win. (Standard Production)
762 IN 308 Win. "Stainless Barrel" (PROTOTYPE) Never released commercially
762 in 6 M/M Creedmoor (PROTOTYPE) Never released commercially
762 in 6.5 M/M Creedmoor (PROTOTYPE) Never released commercially

I'm still looking for a "Carbine" an "E Essential" and a VT in 5.56 M/M to round out the collection.

A guy on another site says he called Ruger, and they told him that they were not discontinuing the SRs, but just taking a short break. We'll see!

azprancer - I've got both a carbine version (SR-556 CLA) and a varmint version (SR-556 VT) for sale in the classifieds, in case you're looking to round out that collection soon...
