There’s been a gap in Ruger’s AR providing since SR-762 was discontinued. Ruger® SFAR™, or Small-Body Autoloading Rifle, is a sub-7lb, 16” 308 AR. Not an AR-10. The barrel and bolt are the identical general measurement as a traditional AR-556® and the higher/decrease receivers have been stretched and massaged to suit the larger journal and cartridge into the AR-556 envelope. Ergonomics, guide of arms, and most mil-spec AR bits and bobbles are all appropriate too.
Now we have two fashions able to ship at launch equivalent aside from barrel size and handguard configuration: 16” (6.8 lb, #05610) and 20” (7.3 lb, #05611) are delivery at launch. The extra barrel size does internet a bit extra velocity – as much as 150 fps with some ammunition – however accuracy at 100 yards has been evenly matched between the (2) fashions… the 16” (mannequin #05610)… is brief and helpful, balances nicely, and never overly lengthy with a silencer mounted.
So, as you may see on the time of its introduction the Ruger SFAR will are available in two totally different mannequin sizes with a 16″ and 20″ barrel possibility. Whereas one may afford you extra velocity than the opposite, they’re reportedly exhibiting the identical accuracy.
