The slim aluminum handguard allows for a high C grip on the weapon, leaving no need for forward attachment or grips. Beyond looking the part the gun feels the part. The DRD guns are made in Georgia, a state with a strong gun making industry.įeeding from Magpul magazines, and dressed with Magpul furniture this gun just looks the part. But the accuracy is on par for what you’d expect from a semi-auto. At greater distances, the M762 isn’t going to compare favorably with some bolt-action rifles. Yet one big potential of rifles like this is the long range stopping power of the. Even at typical southern hunting distances, the compact design of the rifle makes it ideal. For close quarters, this rifle is superb. While I’m fine with the performance of the gun, I will add this about its philosophy of use. In the short distances available here in the backwoods of Virginia, the red dot style optics are a natural fit. The Micro Dot allowed for realistic 4 inch groups and much faster target acquisition.
Yet the scope didn’t fit into the foam the hard case is supplied with, so I found myself relying on the Primary Arms Micro Dot for the majority of the review process. I ran a Nightforce 2.5×10 on the gun for accuracy testing. 308 may seem like a missed opportunity, but these heavy guns have their place in close quarters combat, too, and the extra speed gained is an asset.Įven at 2 inches, the groups prove the rifle to be effective. Oddly enough the M762 is soft shooting, moderately quiet (from the shooter’s end), and very well balanced.Ī red dot on a. 308 can punish your shoulder, hammer on your eardrums (even when you’re wearing hearing protection), and the weight has a way of wearing you down. Shooting the M762Ī rifle of this size, weight, and caliber is sometimes hard to handle on the range. Once assembled, this gun has the rigidity you’d expect from any.
After multiple range trips, I can confidently say that this system works. The gun held together like a champ and was still easily taken apart–hot or not. On my first visit to the range, I assembled the gun fired 40 rounds down range as fast as I could then quickly took the gun down to examine the tightness of the barrel nut. Would the hand-tightened nut eventually work its self-free? I don’t want to shoot a. I can’t even begin to explain how dubious I was about this feature at first. In a matter of seconds, that small 17 inch package is now standing tall at 35 inches and ready to rock. Assembling the rifle is very easy, In fact all you’ve got to do is lock the bolt back, slide the barrel and gas tube into place, hand tighten the barrel nut, slide and lock the handguard into place and you’re done. The hand guard and barrel can be quickly and easily removed from the rifle. The M762’s defining feature is how it breaks down. The assembled rifle comes in right under the 9 pound mark, a weight that most of these rifles blow right past. Every angle, every line, every detail has a weight saving rational behind it, yet the M762 is still robust enough to handle the heavy recoil.
When picking up the rifle for the first time you will instantly notice the quality of the workmanship and the attention to detail. Comprised of billet upper and lower receivers and a hammer forged barrel, this gun leaves nothing to be desired. A weapon system is only as strong as its weakest part thankfully theM762 is built like a tank.
