Ruger SFAR AR-15 Rifle, .308 Winchester, 16.1-Inch, Chocolate Chip

The Ruger SFAR (Small-Frame Autoloading Rifle) in .308 Win/7.62 NATO (brand part no. 05623) is a semi-automatic AR-platform rifle that combines the ballistic advantage of .308 Winchester with the compact size of a traditional MSR. Ruger engineers the SFAR with superior materials so it stays bigger and stronger where it needs to be while remaining smaller and lighter than comparable .308-sized rifles, built around a 16.1-inch barrel with a flat top upper for direct optic mounting, finished in chocolate chip Cerakote. Among AR-platform rifles in the AR rifles category, the SFAR favors shooters who want .308 power in a rifle that carries like a standard-size AR-15.
