Turned 50 last November and my wife of 30 years bought me one and I mounted a Trijicon 1-4×24 and this thing has been incredibly fun ,reliable and accurate.
This rifle is one that I'm pretty excited about. And now that I know about it, I feel a bit silly having an AR-15 chambered for 6.5 Grendel. .308 is much more available and about the same prices.
To me as a new shooter, within the last three years, .308 recoil isn’t a bother at all, as long as I extend the stock so the glass doesn’t blast me in the forehead. I LOVE my 308!
@@anthonygerber8261 I'd spend the extra 200$. My buddy just about bought a PSA. But it was bone stock. The Ruger has b5 furniture. A muzzle brake. A almost match grade trigger. And much lighter weight gun. I convinced him to buy the Ruger
Thank you for sharing! I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy one of these and your video showed me a lot of what I was hoping to see, Il probably be getting one soon, now to decide.... 16" or 20" lol...
Thanks for review. Looking seriously at this 16" in 308. Other caliber options are good simply because options are a good thing. 243 & or 6CM & 6.5CM for sure but the 6.8x51 is surely on the table.
All the reviews I have seen on the SFAR are only 300 yards a 308 should hit that range is a given it’s not the wimpy 5.56 where can I find 400-500 ?? That being said this was the best vid out of 30 I have seen on showing accuracy at any range
I'm very convinced that ruger has in fact created the greatest AR 308 rifle ever. This rifle I firmly believe could easily be the next standard issue military infantry rifle. It's genuinely perfect for that application because of the gas system. It can be a single shot rifle, be a suppressed rifle or a standard battle rifle. I plan to use mine as my go to combat primary weapon, I'll be using Troy sights on mine but I'm wondering what optic I should use. I'm thinking an acog but I want something lightweight to keep this gun sub 8 pounds with munitions in it.
You're experiencing the maximum amount of felt recoil with the regulator on setting "3." Ruger states that after the recommended break-in period of roughly 200 rounds, you should set the regulator on the lowest possible setting that the ammunition will cycle the rifle reliably.
Taken from Ruger: "Bolt and barrel extensions are CNC-machined from high-strength super alloy steel that outperforms traditional C158 bolts. Tapered lug geometry further strengthens the breech to support larger short-action cartridges."
20 years ago I'd agree but I'm sure it "could" last more than the 5k any normal person would shoot in a lifetime. I'm sure 99% of the ar's in America have less than 5k 🤷♂️
It's possible of course but I have a POF with a 556 sized bolt and face and it's fired several thousand rounds of 308 just fine. Materials and heat treat make a world of difference
This weapon is a very good product. It's not that bad but my Springfield Saint Victor AR-10 .308 is not that much heavier than the SFAR I am going to say that it weighs just 4 tenths of a pound more and has a much better trigger and is dressed out in Bravo Co. furniture. Although the cost is approximately $400 more The SFAR in my opinion a cheap copy of the Springfield Saint.

Turned 76 last February and my wife of 54 years said buy your own ... So I did... But I still ❤ her.

Love the SFAR already taken deer with mine. Love the original trigger
Love sfar .308 16inch barrel. Shot it 100yards 150g 168g 178g 185g
All in good group.
Great video Thanks sir! ✌️ 7:56
For brake in and those light bullet and this trembling bags, you really make very good shoots… I’m impressed 💪🏼👍🏼🇵🇷
Thank you E John 45 for your compliments. Much appreciated. The upgraded trigger and match ammo helped…

This could change the game on the MSR world. If you could get a 308 rifle that shoots well and is less than 10 lbs dressed out, It'll be a revolution
I agree and think that the revolution has begun.
i hate the msr name so much just call it a rifle
I was looking into a PSA AR-10 but idk, the SFAR looks interesting. AR15 weight with AR10 punching power.

A POF revolution
I love my SFAR in 16”. I’m getting moa with 3 types of ammo out to 450 and it was easily carried deer hunting working the canyons
I have the exact same rifle and scope but have yet to take them out to the range. Really looking forward to it.

good video. I'll be glad to see some reviews with high round counts to see how this design holds up.

Good video. Very nice shooting. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated.
I worry that the bolt face doesn't have enough metal to handle 308 beyond a few thousand rounds.
Taken from Ruger: "Bolt and barrel extensions are CNC-machined from high-strength super alloy steel that outperforms traditional C158 bolts. Tapered lug geometry further strengthens the breech to support larger short-action cartridges."
I wouldn't sweat it. Ruger makes guns that are very tough and durable.

Only one way to find out.
Would you recommend this to a person as their first 308? I'm looking at one and also need to pull the trigger quickly (pun intended) as I live in WA.
True up your scope, align the north south cant, level the crosshairs. That'll change your impacts even out to 300. Thanks for the review
What scope are you using?
Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8
Good video.. thanks 👍
Thanks for your kind words. 👍

It's ar15 compatible not ar10.
