Ruger SFAR | .308 Win | 16.1″ Barrel | 10-Rd | 5614

The Ruger SFAR is a small-frame autoloading rifle chambered in 7.62 NATO / .308 Winchester that preserves modern sporting rifle ergonomics while using larger short-action cartridges. This configuration pairs a 16.10″ cold hammer-forged barrel and a free-float 15″ M-LOK handguard with a Magpul MOE SL stock for a compact, serviceable platform. It ships with one 10-round Magpul PMAG and a Ruger Elite 452 two-stage trigger tuned for consistent lock time.

For a paired optic under $1,000 consider a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 or a similar 1-6×24 low-power variable — a modest, rugged scope choice that supports close- to mid-range precision without exceeding the platform’s intended role.

Applications: medium-range precision shooting and big-game hunting where .308-level ballistics are desirable in a compact MSR-style package.
