Overview

The Ruger SFAR (Small-Frame Autoloading Rifle) fires full-power .308 Winchester on a frame closer in size to an AR-15. This version has an M81 Woodland camo finish and a 16.1-inch threaded barrel, and comes with two 20-round magazines as listed.

More about the Ruger SFAR M81 Woodland .308 Win Rifle

The Ruger SFAR M81 Woodland is a paradigm shift in modern sporting rifle design. This small-frame, semi-automatic rifle is chambered in the potent .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO cartridge but is built on a platform significantly lighter and more compact than traditional AR-10 counterparts. Engineered for the hunter, backcountry guide, or tactical shooter who demands full-power rifle performance without the typical weight penalty, the SFAR delivers. Its 16.1" threaded barrel provides a handy overall length, making it ideal for navigating dense brush or use from a vehicle or blind. This model, finished in distinctive M81 Woodland, combines serious capability with a classic, rugged aesthetic.

Key Features

• Small-Frame .308 Platform: The SFAR's receiver and bolt carrier group are engineered to AR-15 size and scale, resulting in a rifle that is approximately 1.5 lbs lighter and 1 inch shorter than standard large-frame AR-10s. This translates to faster handling and reduced fatigue in the field.
• 16.1" Threaded Barrel with 5R Rifling: The cold hammer-forged barrel features a 1:10" twist rate and precise 5R rifling, known for reducing bullet jacket deformation and fouling. The threaded muzzle (5/8"-24) readily accepts muzzle devices like brakes, compensators, or suppressors.
• M81 Woodland Finish with Type II Hard-Coat Anodizing: More than just a camo pattern, the M81 Woodland is applied over a durable Type III hard-coat anodized finish on the aluminum upper, lower, and handguard. This provides exceptional corrosion and abrasion resistance for long-term durability in all conditions.
• Adjustable Gas Block: A two-position adjustable gas block (suppressed and unsuppressed) is easily accessed without removing the handguard. This allows you to tune the rifle's operation for specific ammunition or when using a suppressor, ensuring reliable cycling and reduced recoil impulse.
• Included 20-Round Magazines & Ambidextrous Controls: The rifle ships with two reliable, metal-bodied 20-round magazines. It also features a fully ambidextrous safety selector, magazine release, and bolt catch/release, accommodating both right- and left-handed shooters seamlessly.
• Two-Stage Match-Grade Trigger: Out of the box, the SFAR is equipped with a crisp, two-stage trigger that provides a clean, predictable break, contributing directly to enhanced accuracy potential.
