RUGER SFAR 20″ Rifle Review

I really like weapons. I actually do. But currently, I simply haven’t felt that ‘fire’ about any of the brand new firearms popping out currently.

That is, till, I had the possibility to check out the Ruger SFAR.

I’ve at all times been a fan of Ruger. My very first carry gun was a Ruger LCP. I carried that firearm for years and completely cherished it. Our Alaskan revolver that we carried in all places with us was a Ruger Super Redhawk chambered in 454.

We are large followers of Ruger.

And earlier than I even go on with this evaluate, I must say that Ruger has completely knocked it out of the park with the Ruger SFAR.

The Ruger SFAR accepts .308 WIN and seven.62 NATO. It has {a magazine} capability of 20 rounds. It appears and hundreds like a contemporary rifle. It’s out there in a 16.1 inch barrel or a 20 inch barrel. I’m a sucker for longer barrels so I opted to check out the 20 inch barrel.

You don’t even need to shoot it to understand it’s a beast. Just taking a look at it, you recognize it’s a spectacularly highly effective piece of engineering marvel.

And a beast it’s. It’s definitely a heavy rifle, however I didn’t count on it to be light-weight like my AR-15. The Ruger SFAR is made for energy and it delivers. To put it bluntly, that is an AR-15 on steroids! But in the best possible approach possible.

A couple of extra specs:

  • Magpul Moe SL inventory
  • Magpul Moe grip
  • 15″ aluminum free-float handguard
  • Ruger Elite 452 Trigger
  • Ruger 2 port Boomer muzzle brake
  • Compatible with mil-spec MSR set off teams, receiver finish plates, charging handles, pistol grips, and adjustable shares.

I made a decision to mount the Vortex Razor HD LHT since this rifle is greatest fitted to long-range searching. I want I had had the possibility to make use of this on an Axis or white-tailed deer, however the odds weren’t in my favor this previous searching season.

So I did the following neatest thing and took it to the vary.

I braced myself for the primary shot as a result of I knew it was going to be highly effective, as a .308 WIN can be. And I really feel like I nonetheless didn’t brace myself sufficient. The immense energy that got here from this rifle left me with an enormous smile on my face.

I did completely no adjusting to the scope and it was nearly spot on. Is {that a} testomony to the scope or the rifle or me? Let’s say a little bit of every.

As said beforehand, it’s a heavy rifle, but it surely’s simple to connect a two-point sling to ease the load. Carrying round whereas searching can be a simple job to do. The hardest half, for a small, petite lady like myself, can be really discovering an appropriate place to shoot from due to the burden. I feel I positively must raise some extra weights. I sat largely within the kneeling place as that was probably the most snug and the simplest approach for me to sight in on my targets. However, I did attempt to transfer round a little bit and shoot and I used to be getting the dangle of balancing out the rifle, sighting in and shifting. It was a enjoyable experiment. Maybe not sensible for many eventualities with this gun, however positively enjoyable.

While that is an extremely enjoyable firearm to shoot, this isn’t a ‘go to the range and shoot at targets’ sort of gun. This is a ‘go to the range and sight it in then go hunt’ sort of gun. I imply, certain, no one is stopping you from going to the vary to shoot your individual firearm, by all means!

I really like the fashionable look, massive capability journal and autoloading function. Like I stated to start with, Ruger knocked it out of the park – no, out of the world – with this launch.

MSRP: $1,329

Check out the Ruger SFAR!
