@yakkintyler7293 15 minutes on the phone with Ruger & it was in my mailbox 3 days later. Phenomenal customer service. 20 minutes to replace regulator Allen wrench & 1/16" punch right on my home workbench.
@yakkintyler7293 exactly how mine felt. Even after 230 rounds using Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr still slightly undergassed on setting 2. Mines an early 13k serial number if that helps??
When I was trying to get it to work in the previous shorts I was running the best I could find at the time. Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr. The 10 rounds in this video is cheap Magtech 150gr fmj! I've also ran different Match ammo in 168gr & 3 different 180gr on setting 2 since regulator replacement all running great. I did have one box of Perfecta 147gr that cycled fine but no last round bolt hold. I think that was ammo related or 147gr is just a hair light?? Need to test that some more. I'm pretty happy right now. Even got a double tap on steel at that distance. Pretty fun!!
@@dabears52501looks awesome! Yah I bet that weak ammo is in the 7.62 nato range. Have you been able to find any of that ammo? At any rate glad it’s working for you!!
@triggerbarPhD yeah I think the Perfecta 147gr is pretty weak stuff. I might get another box just to confirm? I picked up a box of Hornady Superformance 150gr SST that's 3,000 fps at the muzzle. & some Hornady Match bthp 168gr to test as well.
Stock. Just had to install ges regulator Ruger got to me in 3 days. Over 300 rounds on the new regulator. Working good so far. Over 500 total on the rifle. Early 13k serial number.
@guardianminifarm8005 congrats on the nice buck. I can't use .308 on deer in Iowa but I can coyote! Your enough rounds in to start switching to setting 2. Get some good .308 & run it. You'll love setting 2. Less gas, less recoil. If you have issues? Ruger customer service is phenomenal.
This is redemption for Ruger & my SFAR. I was having FTF issues after break in. New gas regulator from Ruger & it's runnin FAST & FLAWLESS!!! 👍
This is awesome!
Did they mail it or did you have to send the whole rifle in?

@triggerbarPhD I'm having a hard time finding 7.62x51mm locally???
That is encouraging. Stock or did you have to upgrade things to get it running reliable?

@@dabears52501 Many, many thanks. Enjoy. I harvested a decent 9 point with mine opening day. I haven't taken mine off #3 yet over 250 rounds.
