Ruger makes superior rifles. Although their company has offices and factories across the U.S., they do most of their own manufacturing. Like Springfield, they are also new to the AR-15 market, and their AR product certainly attracted notice.
Ruger is a gun for the everyday working man, and their AR-556 demonstrates this. It may not have the frills of many competitor rifles at this price, but it is still effective and an option to consider. Their heat shields might seem somewhat generic, but they’re using branded furniture and sights rather than shelf stock.
This gun may not be glamorous, but it is reliable and consistent, with historic military roots. The bayonet tug will make your friends take notice of your authentically-styled rifle.
