Gent's, Was hopeing some of you guys out there would have a Ruger SR and wondering if there are any tips to make it just a hair more accurate? Barrels, Attatchments ext. As I have purchased one and like the platform but not very well versed in it yet. Any help would be great!

i watched the review on guns and ammo tv it was very accurate right out of the box. as for aftermarket parts i would say none as for it is too new and completely designed start to finish by ruger. how accurate is it shooting now?

Are you using factory or reloaded ammo?

Factory ammo. I'm having a hard time finding dies and primers for it.It's chambered in .22LR.

Give or take 1" groups.

Should be no shortage of add ons for that gun. I have one. Everything that will bolt onto the AR-15 platform will fit. And triggers and action parts that fit a regular 10-22 fit also. I put a full top rail on mine with the Magpul back up sights. I like to shoot with a peep. I also put a vortex Strikefire red/green dot on it and it holds all shots inside the dot. I would have to scope it to see if its more accurate. As for barrels, look up Dlaskarms. They have them in 20-18-16-12" with a variety of options. I like the light 12". It would stick out of the front gaurd about 1/2". Nice and short. It an expensive rig to play with, because of all the accessories you can put on. I call mine BARBIE.

I am assuming you mean the Ruger SR556 and not the SR9?

That would be a SR-22 in .22LR. Just got mine and havn't had time to shoot it yet.

If you have the high cap mags make sure to bring at least 500 rounds first time out. These guns are too fun

Sure a lot of SR's in the Ruger lineup now that I look at it. Could be confusing.
