I also asked why Ruger AR-556's are STILL so expensive. Now remember, I am ONLY repeating what (2) cousins told me, that each own a gun store.
1) Ruger "thinks" it's a better built entry AR rifle.
2) Ruger dealers refuse to come down on their prices because they "think" it's a better built entry AR rifle.
Please, don't flame me. I am ONLY repeating what (2) gun store owners told me. One stated that he STILL has (3) AR-556's sitting on the rack that have been there since Oct.-Nov. And, he steadily moves/sells Sport II rifles.
They are pretty close in price... big box retailers like Cabela's and Academy have them at the same price, over priced, but same price none the less. Internet dealers have them from same price to $90 difference... just depends on what price the dealer got them at and how much they are willing to let them go for.
