Ya I think that’s smart… that was my plan but for $1000 I just couldn’t wait, plus knowing if the house / senate goes more democrat - may be my last chance to own a semi 308. Good luck on your decision. I’ve seen posts where people put 500+ rounds thru SFAR - 1 guy got the barrel so hot it...

Thanks Okanogan. What's the range the MSR has a good picture? How does it do past 200 yards? I saw a review that the Tango 1-10x MSR couldn't achieve crystal focus past 200 yards (target looks fuzzy, blurred), but not sure if that's a lemen or user error.

brought 20” SFAR home Friday and took to range Saturday - running magpul pro offset (my “backup irons”) - haven’t yet decided on what scope - so I sighted in my magpuls. shot it with the boomer brake at 25 and 50 yards - shoots great! Fun as hell. If I can find my 7/8” wrench I’ll remove the...

Thanks. The SFAR barrel is heavier than a few other AR 10s (M&P 10) but the chamber (and BCG) are much thinner / lighter. Likewise, I don’t mag dump - but want a gun that could handle it if I ever did.

SFAR more likely to cook off rounds than other (larger) 308 semi autos? The Ruger SFAR manual talks about the Ruger can cook off rounds when the barrel is really hot, and just wondering is that a typical disclaimer that would be true of any proven 308 platform / battle rifle (Sig 716i, FN FAL...

The 16" SFAR (model # 5610) spec sheet: The mid-length gas system features a 0.750" 4-position rotary-regulator gas block to achieve ideal function across the wide range of ammunition available in the marketplace today. The included, on-board 3/16" ball-end wrench makes for easy regulator...

There are two models with two different gas systems. The 16” SFAR (model # 5610) has a mid length system. The 20” SFAR (model # 5611) spec sheet: The rifle-length gas system features a 0.750" 4-position rotary-regulator gas block to achieve ideal function across the wide range of ammunition...

Thanks Steve for the update. I just bought this rifle and hoping it's not a dud.

Thanks for the heads up. Sure looks rifle length to me - the gas block is within an inch of the 15” hand guard. I am not an expert and don’t build my own. How many inches is the gas system? I understand Intermediate is around 13.25” and rifle around 15”.

I'm thinking (OK, hoping?) the 20" Ruger SFAR would shoot just fine with that rifle length gas system - similar to a light bolt action - without that boomer brake. What do ya'll think? I'm not worried about my shoulder - I'm wanting to know how tough to get follow up shots without a brake...

Congrats! Thanks for sharing - so far I'm hearing mostly good things about the SFAR (a couple of complaints about sloppy BCGs). I'm hoping someone shoots it with the brake off to see how jumpy the recoil is (follow-up shots). I want it in 20" (a few oz more) w/no brake or can. It could be both...

thanks - makes sense and I will look out for the charging handle … I shoot .308 bolt - never minded recoil but obviously only shoot ~10-30 rounds at a range - sight in and practice. I’m 6’2” and 230 lbs so not worried about shoulder - but am hoping target re-acquisition isn’t a total PIA...

thanks - great review. I am curious how it shoots w/ no brake (way too loud) and no can - recoil and noise. I will probably run the 20” w no can/brake. I also expect I will put a scope on and run offset irons (magpul pro offset). Great elk/hog/black bear gun. I have only hunted .308 bolt but...
