Anyone have personal experience with the ruger SFAR?

[Whtstr]

I was reading about it in American rifleman and wondered is anyone here had seen one, owned one or shot one. How does it handle?
I’ve never considered buying a ar10 but I like the smaller size.
Had anyone in Baton Rouge area seen them on a shelf? I would like to handle it in person.

I haven’t seen one around here in a while, not to say there isn’t one.

I’d say it’s the rifle next in line to the 716i Tread in terms of review count. Majority of them being positive.

I haven’t shot one but a friend of mine does have one and to my knowledge has had no issues and has said before he likes it.

I have the Sig 716i. It has run flawlessly for me and I like how it handles. I purchased it from Bowies around late 2021 believe.

I have the POF Rogue which is their ultralight .308, had it just over a year zero complaints, it's one of my favorites.

I think it’s neat and light . I got it for being low cost and light as larger rifles irritate my shoulders from time to time . it is easy to handle and works good on setting 3 .the recoil is a little more than a ar15 but still easy ,you will be off your target a little more after each shot also I have never hadled a full size ar10 but a M1a and it’s night and day diffence . a mid weight barreled ar15 with no light weight parts is pretty close to the same feeling shouldering . If it weren’t for the recoil diffence you wouldnt know it was a .308.
I only shot it this last Sunday w iron sights . No scope mounted .

That’s definitely out of my budget. The ruger sfar is available for almost 1/2 twice of rogue. The sfar with the 16” weighs about 7 lbs.
Kind of sucks that the gas adjust is needs an Allan but its a budget gun.

SFAR comes with wrench for gas adjustment. 4 settings that you would not be changing often
