to 2 inches at 100 yards. However, PMC Bronze 55-grain full-metal jacket ammo produced consistent sub-MOA groups at 100 yards, the best being a 5/8-inch trio. Boxes of 20 rounds of PMC Bronze usually cost around eight dollars. It would seem that the Ruger AR-556 could be even more accurate with more expensive Match rounds. Shooting sub-MOA with the cheap stuff says a lot for this fi rearm’s quality.
Affordable Quality
The Ruger brand has always stood equally for quality and affordabil- ity. The new AR-556 upsets the price point on the AR-15 apple cart and spills all the competition onto the ground. Left standing upright is Ruger’s semi-automatic AR-556 and its suggested retail price of just $749. Actual selling prices are around $600. Law enforcement offi cers get a lot of gun for this relatively small cost. The gun is ready for duty, right out of the box, with American-made quality.
