Just saw one in a Cabelas flyer. They look promising. Ever shoot one?
Umm... Ruger started putting out 5.56 AR-style rifles in early 2009 I believe. Part of Ruger's effort (with a new CEO) to revitalize its brand.
Loaded with good stuff out of the box... chrome BCG, Troy sights, Troy rail & guards, Hogue grip, chrome bore, p-mags included. Adjustable gas piston system. Check out Jeff Quinn's review online (gunblast).

Aftermarket kit?
It's a stock SR-556
Get the real thing from LRWC, the Ruger is just a knock off of a proven design.

Looks like a tank. I checked out an Olympic arms that a local guy had for sale for 450.00 with my buddy that was looking to buy. Not impressed. This looked like owner neglect in its finest hour. Loose trigger guard, buffer tube, and grip. It was unreal the shape it was in. I will tell my buddy to save his coins and go for a toy like this.
Kinda heavy in the front. Shoots nicely. Price beats LWRC by a mile. Don't get the one with the huge rail. Get the 556E.

My father just bought one of these, and he loves shooting it. I have yet to shoot it yet, but it's definitely a nice rifle from what I was looking over when he showed it to me.

Those Ruger 556s are good for bears, deer, geese, ducks, and zombies.
