The Ruger SFAR is a small-frame autoloading rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, combining the performance of a larger cartridge with the compact handling typical of 5.56-caliber rifles. Manufactured in the USA, the Ruger SFAR semi-automatic rifle suits various applications such as big-game hunting, competitive shooting, or tactical and recreational use.
The rifle incorporates a CNC-machined bolt and barrel extension crafted from high-strength alloy steel, providing reliable breech support for short-action cartridges. Its bolt carrier assembly is chrome-lined, made from durable 8620 steel, and includes a nitride-processed, securely staked gas key for dependable cycling. It also features dual ejectors, an optimized extractor for consistent ejection, and a DLC-coated titanium firing pin for extended durability.
The Ruger SFAR 16" barrel is cold hammer-forged from 4140 chrome-moly steel and has 5R rifling with a black nitride finish. It features a Ruger two-port Boomer muzzle brake to manage recoil and standard muzzle threads (5/8"-24) compatible with various flash hiders, suppressors, and other accessories.
Equipped with a lightweight, free-floated aluminum handguard measuring 15 inches, the Ruger SFAR is designed for user comfort and accessory compatibility. It includes Magpul M-LOK attachment slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, partially docked upper rail sections to reduce weight, and integrated quick-disconnect sling sockets.
The Ruger SFAR mid-length gas system features a user-adjustable four-position rotary regulator gas block, including an onboard 3/16-inch adjustment wrench for convenient field adjustments with various ammunition types.
Additional features include a Ruger Elite 452 trigger offering a crisp two-stage, 4.5-pound pull, a sturdy 7075-T6 aluminum upper receiver with a forward assist, brass deflector, and full-length Picatinny rail, along with a flared magazine well for efficient reloading. Venting holes are integrated to safely dissipate excess gas during extended firing sessions.
For comfort and secure handling, the Ruger SFAR comes with a Magpul MOE SL stock and a Magpul MOE ergonomic grip. Compatible with widely available SR25/AR-10-pattern magazines, this Ruger SFAR AR-10 compatible rifle includes one 20-round Magpul PMAG.
The Ruger SFAR lightweight .308 rifle delivers accuracy, durability, and versatility in a compact, tactical-friendly package.
