    Is the POF P308 G4 worth the extra thousand over Ruger SR-762?

    The difference between hobby guns and go to work guns is more than "does it go bang when you pull the trigger, or how accurate it is". The expensive work guns are engineered to withstand abuse. The gun must withstand repeated heat cycles. not get destroyed if it gets run over, does it...

    Is the POF P308 G4 worth the extra thousand over Ruger SR-762?

    I think what most people do not take into consideration is that there are nice rifles in every price point, but the quality definitely increases as price goes up. For 1500-1600 the Ruger is a super nice weapon, I own one. If I was in Ferguson or down in New Orleans during the hurricane I would...

    Is the POF P308 G4 worth the extra thousand over Ruger SR-762?

    POF 308 can be gotten for about 2100 to 2200 new, I would say they are worth 500 more than the ruger for sure.

    **ROUND4 !!** 100YARD+, SEMI-AUTO, 6group, 30round SHOOTOUT!

    OK, for your amusement. I have tried this 4 times, never getting past 10 rounds before frustration set in. Today I completed it. Beautiful day, slight breeze. Although I have been shooting most of my life, I have never tried to perform any precision shooting from a bench or prone. After...

    **ROUND4 !!** 100YARD+, SEMI-AUTO, 6group, 30round SHOOTOUT!

    I seriously do not get how you guys do this. I have tried to do this task 3 times but am not able to find a comfortable position (bench or prone, bean bags, sandbags or backpack). After about 10 rounds I just get pissed off and leave the range. Luckily for me it's walking distance so not...

    Recommendations for a duty AR-10

    Obviously this thread had deteriorated and no longer a source for information or sensible conversation. It SHOULD be Closed/Locked.

    JP's thermal disapator vs a thicker profile barrel

    It's important to me because I was thinking about this topic and I ran across the fluting thread. Great timing I think. 2nd, I am starting to consider parts for a new build. I already have a 16" .308 cal rifle. Upper/lower would be a megalithic, RCA bolt and trying to decide what 20" barrel...

    JP's thermal disapator vs a thicker profile barrel

    With the recent post about fluting, would a .750 profile barrel with a jp thermal dissipator resist heat related poi change better than a thicker profile barrel? Of course no has really tested this so just looking for opinions.

    NEMO Omen

    RHunter, Ah, didn't notice that it was an old thread. If you have sent it back twice, haven't they done a complete overhaul on that rifle? I would expect a small company to be even more customer service focused as consumer confidence is even more important to them than a large company. Good...

    NEMO Omen

    RHunter, I stopped reading anything you posted about 1/2way through this thread. I bought a new Ruger SR762 a month ago, found out the rifle was manufactured May 2013. I called Ruger, they setup an RMA and sent me a new rifle. Had it in 2 weeks. You have expressed your disappointment, now...

    Range Report american eagle out of a piston gun

    Hello, I have some american eagle 149 grain bullets in Lake City brass. I have been running it through my Ruger SR762 and my groups are all over the place, like 4 inch groups or more. When I run other lower priced ammo (pmc) my groups are less than half the size, usually 1/3. Saw on...

    LMT worth the extra 1k?

    I know but at 50 years of age I only have a desire to own 1 handgun, 1 rifle and 1 shotgun (not including my Ruger Mark I and the 10/22, of course).

    LMT worth the extra 1k?

    Just to keep the thread on point. My price point was originally 1500-1600 which is why i was considering the Ruger 762. I have owned Ruger products my entire life and imo they are built to last. There just happened to be the LMT for 2499 and when I handled the rifle it was NICE, but heavy...

    LMT worth the extra 1k?

    Cobra, The weapons I was really interested in were the CMMG, DPMS G2 Hunter, and Bison Arms but shops do not have any in stock to look at. For my next purchase I will only buy something I can look at.

    LMT worth the extra 1k?

    What I really loved about the LMT was it's dementionality, balance and point-ability. When I shoulder the weapon and swing it around it handles really well. For me, nothing needs to be altered from it's stock configuration. The LMT is a bit of a porker though. The Ruger is quite a bit...
