This review examines the Ruger SR-556, a 2009 attempt at a service rifle, highlighting its short-stroke piston system, 1:9 twist barrel, and front-heavy design. Despite its $2,000 price point and failure to secure military contracts, the SR-556 is considered a better rifle than the Bushmaster ACR by the reviewer, primarily due to its softer shooting characteristics on the lowest gas setting and more robust accessory mounting options. However, its high cost and lack of a dedicated suppressed setting are noted drawbacks.
