When I first got my hands on the Ruger SFAR, I thought it was an AR15, but to my surprise, it was chambered in .308, but how?
It was small and so lightweight there was no way this is a .308 rifle.
After my initial shock, I immediately thought, “oh yeah, this thing is going to suck to shoot because of how lightweight and small it was.
Let me tell you; I couldn’t have been more wrong.

#308 #ColionNoir - Zábava
Ruger does a fine job making affordable, well-built weapons. I manage a gun store, and Rugers are some of our top sellers. Kudos to Ruger
Picked our son up a Ruger Mark IV target pistol for Christmas & even my FFL was impressed with the quality of it. This 308 is now on my list as I don't have one in an AR platform & even a big box sports store shows them at $1099.
I own a lot of Rugers and they make great stuff.
My ruger mpr is a go to for range days.
I’m a Glock guy but I like all ruger rifles.
I have had to send a couple new ones back for a little tweaking but they came back fast and right
I’m going to be flat broke if this keeps up. Now I’ve got to get one of those.
I agree...I mean I'm already broke and I need this. Lol
That's why I love that my LGS does layaway.
Already called the Cabelas near me to see if they had any in stock. Bass being the next place I'm checking.
get a Desert Tech MDRX
get a Robinson Armament XCR
get a DRD Tactical Aptus
get a MarColMar CETME L
get a Czechpoint vz. 58
Flat ass broak man I'm already broak my birthday is coming up I'm using my bday money to go get m le an ar15
After seeing this video I purchased this rifle. I couldn’t be happier. I was a AR15 556 for a tactical guy. Now I see the benefits of a larger caliber especially in this platform and what it can do. I gifted my M4 to the wife.
What twist rate is it ?
@@RTM459 the ruger is 1:10 twist
Sounds exactly like the thing I might do when Ruger SFAR is imported in my country. :)
That's a whole lot of full-power smackdown in small package. I fired a Galil in 7.62 NATO and the recoil was brutal. You'd expect such a light rifle to kick more, but it doesn't. Now I HAVE to get one.
Honestly, the recoil isn't bad at all, and after I fired 100+ rounds my follow up shots were almost as fast as a 556.... almost, lol.
I bought one and really like it. Forgot to mention that the 20" version has full top rail, the adjustable gas block and the gas ports. It does shoot like an AR-15 with the range and knock down of an AR-10. I changed the charge handle to a Giessele to get something bigger and to an H2 buffer weight.
Nice!!!
20" would make a damn fine DMR platform. And now I'm gonna have to buy another magnified optic now.
Does it use AR-15 parts (trigger, grip, stock, etc)?
@@armynurseboy Yes, all those parts.
* drools * I was hoping there was a 20" version.
Bought one. Been shooting it. Absolutely love it. My favorite rifle.
How accurate with FGMM?
How much and where did you get it?
@@joshuathomas8529 , $999.89 from The Gun Shop in Idaho Falls, ID.
@@jamestotten3536 , haven't had a chance to shoot it yet with FGMM.
Paul I just bought one today and it says on their website 308-762 but on my rifle itself is stamp 762 on it is it capable of shooting 308 safely?
His emotions are the most genuine in CZcams! I can feel his excitement shooting that AR
Yeah. Kind of contrary to the Bearded, ex-Navy Seals with sleeve tattoos and stony emotionless faces.
Watching this man use this rifle and literally giggle reminds me of the reaction one should have when rowing through the gears in a really fast 4 speed equipped muscle car from the 1960s. Just plain FUN, and everyone should experience it.
I have a ruger 5.56 mpr and that thing has been nothing but astounding. No issues at all with over 3,500 rounds through it. It has the 18 inch barrel and is extremely accurate.
MPR slaps
Same... sub moa all day
@@ryanh6081 Yes sir!!! The thing has like no recoil either compared to my other ARs.
@@Architect_Art_Vandelay Great stuff!
I have the MPR and the SFAR. They both rock! Zero malfunctions in either with over 2000 rounds in the MPR and 1000 through the SFAR. Varying ammo and weights! ❤️ these firearms!!!
Pretty cool 308 rifle, glad the round is in a commonly used rifle platform
Fun fact: The AR-10 was introduced in 1956, the AR-15 was introduced in 1959.
Still would be a hoot in 6.5CM.
@@7996hobguy yep, it's like the Cetme to the g3
@@7996hobguy AR-10 was 1955, AR-15 in 1957. Production started the years you listed though.
@@7996hobguy seems logical, being that, didnt the AR-10 replace the M14 which fired the .308 round ? I think they downsized to the 5.56 so that solders could carry more rounds into battle, and shipping more rounds in the same amount of space to the solders. same reason they went to the .308 from the 30-06. been a minute since I was in the infantry, and seems like we had a very short briefing in a training session, on the history of the instruments we evolved from using.
Awesome review. You can't fake that kind of joy. I want one now
Frank I picked up on the same thing in the vid. His laugh said it all. You can’t fake some things.
Thank you , I’ve been looking to buy an AR10 but wasn’t thrilled with the prices I was seeing. Absolutely outstanding.
Update: I got one and it is amazing….
@@mathewrushing83I an debating this or the Saint Victor
@@jeramysevier2405 what’s u end up getting?
Literally a gun for the people. Light no frills just simple good shooting and something to build on. Would definitely consider this for my first .308
Nevermind ruger kissing atfs butt
@@mattandrews8528 do your homework along with daniel defense comments concerning the atf to congress. Nothing to do with their guns and everything to do with kissing the ass of tyrants. Why support an anti second amendment company?
@@mattandrews8528 besides they just poorly copied the Pof Rogue which is still lighter at 5.9 pounds a lot nicer and I got mine at 1500
Is it gonna break if you drop it? The plastic parts/smaller parts concern me
I had my eye on a Canik tp9sf a couple years ago. Watched your review of it back then and pulled the trigger on pulling the trigger of my own. I've had my eye on the SFAR for nearly a year. Its like deja vu all over again. I will be havin' one of these. Thank you, Mr. Noir.
Colion, I love you and hate you at the same time 😂. Damn it, I watched this video 3 times and I couldn’t go to sleep for 2 days straight. The joy I saw coming from you shooting this damn rifle made me insanely impulsive. I drove to TP Outdoors and asked them if they had the SFAR in stock. They only had the 20” so I justified to myself to just leave. I was like Yeah, I escaped that one. Went back couple of days later to get some Drake wool socks and happened to walk back to the gun counter and Mark screams, “hey Joe, we got a 16” in this morning”. Let me see it, I bet I won’t like it. As soon as I took it out of the box I knew I’d F up. That sucker is EVERYTHING YOU SAID IT IS. It’s light, trigger is amazing out of the box and I had to double check to make sure it wasn’t an AR15. Price tag was $1,099.00. Owner said give me $1,000 and it’s yours. I drove straight to the house and dug into my hidden stash (from the wife) and pulled out the money. Headed straight to the store and walked out with it. I’ll be divorced by this weekend if she finds it. Just got back from shooting it and Holy Crap is this thing unbelievable. Guys, if you can afford to spend the money go get one. I have no idea how they put this together and tweaked the components but this gun shoots like my DDM4 V7Pro. The only thing that hurts about this gun is checking out at the register when you purchase the ammo. The ballistic tip ammo is almost $60. Anyone know where to get a deal on .308 ammo? I need to get some because once you shoot this thing you don’t want to stop.
72 cents a round at Palmetto Armory for standard and 85 cents a round for black tip nylon.
Target Sports USA can be a good source for ammo if you are patient.
It’s always fun when you see a firearm bring the reviewer genuine joy not just the “yeah this is good” or other thoughts.
I was just thinking to myself that I might need something bigger than 5.56 on the homestead - not because of long range just the sheer density of small branches and thick trees that could deflect a lighter bullet like 5.56. Just swap the brake out for my can and it would be perfect and not antagonize everyone at the range too.
I love the joy you share with firearms that are happy surprises, Colion. Cheers to you!
Also...why couldn't someone in a firearm-friendly state have won the Powerball...whoever won in CA will only be able to buy one firearm there...
stay safe everyone
Is that a threat? 🤨
@@Wolfe-zl4ld edit: nevermind, I see from your history that you're an anticonstitutional, anti-gun troll.
Sub 7 LBS is insane! There's a lot of bolt guns that aren't that lightweight
It's really the steel parts, barrel, bcg, and barrel nut that are always the heaviest. They did a great job minimizing those.
When a man with tons of firearm experience literally gets giggly you know it's a great firearm
That is a dope rifle. Ruger is kicking butt!
Ruger sucks

I recently purchased an SFAR w/20" barrel. Can't wait to get to the range!! So excited to have one in my hands. Great review, keep up the good content.
How has your sfar held up?
I got the first 20” SFAR that my local gun store had in stock. Took a deer with it just a few days ago and I absolutely love it!
Thats what i purchased mine for, Got a Midwest T series rail, and a A2 stock
Poor innocent deer❤❤❤
What kind of accuracy are you seeing on this at 300 yards?
That giggle when your shooting this thing has me sold. I want one now.
Now this I am impressed with and it is also fun to see you having so much fun. If I ever go for an AR pattern rifle, this looks like one I'll be looking at.
You Sir had way to much fun making this video. Love it, makes me want to go get one.
I've had mine for almost 2 months now. My favorite gun I've bought
Held one today at my FFL, the only way you can tell it's 308 is the muzzle brake and the mag well. Other than that it's small just like an AR-15
It is an AR-15 chambered in .308, just like the POF Revolution and Rogue series that inspired it.
Ruger added vent holes through the barrel extension, upper, and bolt carrier in the event of a case failure, since the diameters are so small (same as AR-15).
@@LRRPFco52 it is an AR-15 , I use the term "small just like an AR-15" for a size comparison ,hard to believe how compact it is until you get one in your hands. Even takes Ar15 Charging handle and after market handguards. 👍
@@LRRPFco52 that doesn't exactly inspire confidence. @ least not for me anyway. 762 AR's are typically built beefier for good reason/s.
@@nova68cutie They're using exotic Aerospace alloys on the bolt and barrel extension to handle the pressure, but there are definitely case failure mitigation features built into it. A side effect of the pressure relief holes is that they vent suppressor back pressure ahead of the ejection port.
Thank you for the demo there sir, I've been trying to figure out what 308/762 rifle I wanted and this one is on the top of my list.
I’ve been considering adding a .308 to my selection. Nice to know Ruger offers an affordable option.
Got out with mine yesterday for the first time, I couldn't be happier absolutely fantastic out of the box.
I recently purchased the SFAR...can't wait to take my first shots! After watching the fun you had I have to get to the range asap!
At what? School children? 🤨
@@Wolfe-zl4ld STFU. Us law abiding citizens have no desire to shoot innocent people.
Not to worry, Colion said he’d be glad to break it in for you!
@@Wolfe-zl4ld YOU’RE A VERY SICK INDIVIDUAL!
@@Wolfe-zl4ld You could always put an apple on your head.
Thank you for doing vids like this, as a more budget conscious gun guy i personally appreciate these.
Your camera guy and editing guy deserves as much kudos as the guy behind the rifle...Great AR10 from Ruger. They nailed it.
I’ve been looking at this one since it launched. Held one last month at a local gun show and really liked the way it felt. But after watching you laugh so much while shooting this bad boy it’s definitely at the top of my wish list. 😂
Love my Windham RSF 16 .308. 16" barrel, 1 1/2" groups at 300. Built as my everything rifle. 7.5 lbs undressed
You are so pumped about this piece of equipment that now I am going to go out and purposely look for it to put it in my hands for myself and who knows probably buy it!
Great review. Been thinking of picking up a bolt action 308 because living in NY we aren’t allowed to buy an AR10. I think it is time to leave especially with the Hochul win.
Yes definitely bro. I grew up in NY and never seen such a messed governor in my life! Loving the free state of Florida right now
I can never understand people who want to drop their entire lives and leave all their family and friends just because they want to shoot more guns.
Like, I like guns, but I dont get it. That doesn't seem worth it at all.
Looks like a great companion for my SR-762. My SR-762 is great for stationary bench shooting but too heavy long range sessions shooting from the shoulder. Always enjoyed every Ruger that I have owned.
I love having a SR 762 but not very packable. This looks like a good option.
Your trigger discipline is amazing Bro, the quickness of some of those pulls... awesome! Great video.
well, it's obvious. he's a pro-2A advocate who did feature in an old NRA's video
The Ruger lcp max is the my favorite carry gun. The SFAR is a 308 optimized in the same ways, price, weight, and size. Nice.
Every time I’m in the market for a new gun I always check to see if you’ve made a video about it. Unfortunately a month ago when I bought my SFAR you didn’t have a video about it. I didn’t regret my purchase then, and i definitely don’t now. Keep up the great work Colion. Next time you’re in Georgia visiting Daniel defense please swing by and pick me up so I can visit with you 🤣
POF Rouge is more expensive than $1200, but I think it is the lightest AR .308. The POF Revolution was the first gun in this AR .308 format, 6.8lbs for a DI version, and 7.3lbs for a PD version. This Ruger SFAR looks promising, hopefully it's made of durable materials like the POF's are. The Ruger is certainly in a more affordable price range, so it will be interesting to see how this gun does in the long-term.
The 16.1" SFAR is also 6.8lbs. POF is a legit platform too. I went with the SFAR, personally. Trying it out to 780 yards this weekend. We'll see if I can get some miracles to happen. :-)
@@ForceMultiplier Let me know how that works out, and have fun.
I totally agree with everything you just posted.
In my opinion the POF is one of the most innovative companies out there building ARs, even though they are expensive, they are top of the line.
I wish that I had gotten it rather than the Sig Sauer P716. I would still love to have one but the Ruger, as long as the quality is there at a much lower price range will be a fabulous option for people like me on an extremely low budget.
The POF Rogue is 5.9lbs for the 16.5” and 5.6lbs for the 12.5”
@@kimdearrington258 I looked at the 716, particularly because of the price, and recommendations from a couple of friends that own them. I was set on buying 716, but when I went to the gun store, they also had the Revolution PD. I didn't know much about the POF, but comparing the two, handling them, I was leaning POF. I left the store without either, did some homework that night, and went back next day to get the POF. They offered me 5% off... Still $1000 over the 716, so I'd say I really liked the gun. It shoots great, 335rds though it so far. The brake is obvious to people on either side of me, but it's very effective in the mitigation of recoil. If I could not afford the POF, I'd like the 716 just fine. The SFAR wasn't available at that time, it would be worthy of checking out. I think it's cool that Ruger built this gun, and made it affordable to many. I wonder what the bolt is made of... Hell, I wonder the same about the POF. The wall around the lugs is pretty thin, but they have been around for awhile. Regular AR-10 bolts are beefy in comparison to POF, I really want to get a look inside one of these Rugers.
The compensator looks a lot like the one on the Galil Ace in 308. Significantly helps to mitigate the recoil.
I'm sold..... I been kinda "falling out of love" with the 5.56 and leaning towards my AR308 from palmetto state armory but that rifle is heavy and it ain't no way around it....... But that Ruger SFAR 308 is looking really interesting....💯
Okay. Okay! You sold me. I'm getting one. I thought about the M1A CQB for quite a while. Just when I made up my mind to get one, along comes this beauty. Thanks.
Don't be foolish and jump at it, you need to get more information on if it is accurate or not. Somethings can't be fixed and Ruger has a reputation for beautiful accuracy in all they're both actions, but none of their self shockers have ever been accurate
Thanks Colion. Since the SFAR came out, I've been holding out for the 6.5 Creedmoor. Got 1 as soon as it came out, and I put up a review video. I'm sure it's not Noir quality but did my best. Part 2 coming out in a day or 2.
You’ve single handily convinced me to purchase this rifle. Picking it up today
I just realized that I ordered this rifle a few hours after this video dropped, due to your joy with it. I've got mine configured with a TA31-ACSS in Green, a BCM Mod2 grip, a BCM short vertical grip, a BAD ambi safety, a Strike Ind. ambi mag release, a Geisele maritime bolt release, a Limbsaver recoil pad, a YHM flash hider/suppressor mount, a Streamlight 1k lumen light, a Magpul bipod qd stud, and a VTAC padded sling. I have a Magpul bipod and a Form 1 supressor off rifle in my kit. This thing lighter than my SPR, and only a 8oz heavier than my simularly equipped 14.5 GP rifle. I'm really loving this rig with 400rds in so far. The Limbsaver mitigates the recoil-reduction I lost by taking the brake off, and only adds +1oz...highly recommended for this rifle! I'm leaning toward picking this over my AR15 GP rifle as a prefered patrol rifle! 👊🏼🇺🇲👊🏼
Any hiccups during break-in. Some are reporting some issues prior to break-in period of 100-200 rounds.

@@survivetheattack glad to hear it! 👍
I like how excited Colion gets shooting. I like Colion's and Hikok 45 the joy they get plinking.
Man, I was waiting for weeks for your review. I couldn't wait anymore so I bought this and the 5.7x28 LC Carbine this morning. I can't wait to take them both out!
I've always been a fan of the 308, because it's a more versatile round, and there's whole lot of 308 out there. When H&K first introduced the model 91 myself and my partner went down to a gun shop in the city of Carson in the LA metro area and purchased consecutive serial numbers. I felt that it was by far the best bang for buck at the time, but it did have one issue, it's weight the rifle weighed in at 9.3lbs unloaded and at first it didn't seem that bad, how ever after taking a little 20k walk with a pack, and up and down hills and through the brush it was like it magically increased to a 40lbs weapon ( also my partner was a Marine Corp reservist and showed me just out of shape I was) other than the weight I loved that rifle, even the factory iron sights were spot on up to 400m, and with the bigger bullet what you aimed at it hit. One of the biggest things about the AR-15 that I didn't like was the lack of penetration and the fact if you were shooting through brush the 223 would hit a small branch or some leaves and who knew were that round went. Also if you were in situation where you had a standard vehicle ( car, p/u, van ) the 223 would take 3 to 4 rounds in the same spot to penetrate and even that you would be basically shrapnel and it be the 6th or 7th round before it would be a full bullet making it through.
However with the 308, boom that was it through the windshield, through the bad guy, through the seat front and back seats and into the trunk, and depending on the type of vehicle it could go all the way through.
Now I have to admit that the tech has changed a lot since the early 80's in regards to the different weapons, the ammo and the different accessories, have brought about a lot of changes over the years and the AR-15 does have a lot of good points ( but people don't remember or realize that the 223 was a round ment to wound not kill because of the Roe's and thinking of the great brain's in the crystal palace) in my opinion the 308 or as it's also known as the 7.62 x 51 is a far more useful round. And now a 308 that's light and balanced and affordable that sounds like they hit the trifecta. Besides this guy is having way to much fun with that firearm, like a kid that got just what he wanted for Christmas.
🦅🦅🗽🦅🦅😎😎😎🐈
@ Going Fubar, all true.
I think the (lack of) barrier blindness ar15s get labeled with is due to bulk 55gr ammo and short barrels. Paul Harrell had no issue defending himself with an ar15 through a windshield with iirc 3-4 rounds.
Just zeroed in my 2 new SFAR. Will do 1 MOA at 200 yards , has low recoil, weights 18 oz less than a SW MP 10 . Cost is also decent , half the cost of some other older AR10
I’ve owned the M5 and the 716i and shot all of the other major players except the POF Rogue. This video sold me and my SFAR should be delivered to my FFL soon! My Sig and M5 just felt dramatic. The weight and size really does make a difference.
Colion’s enthusiasm in the video is refreshing and child like at Christmas. He genuinely likes this weapon.
Ruger should be cutting you a check, right after I seen this video I went out and got one the last one in the store! Thanks this rifle is crazy.
Chances are… lol
Took it to the range today, I have no idea what magic ✨ Ruger used to get this thing to shoot as soft as my 5.56s do...this thing is glorious... ❤️
How's that rifle doing a few months later? I'm thinking about buying one
@@michaelchurgin7027 still chugging...put a SIG Tango-MSR 1-6x 24 on it and a type 2 rmr at a 45 and it's on point... Only problem I've had with it is saltech swiss ammo, had to physically pound the brass out of the rifle it will not eject it on any of the 4 gas settings and the case is damaged...it goes in the garbage can ...no reloading it...Works in my bolt action predator fine ... Everything else I've put threw it runs like a champ...Norma, finochi, pmc, federal, Remington..the saltech is pure garbage stay away from it...got 500 rounds and the ammo can is marked bolt action only...lol..
Definitely considering one of these. Other videos I've seen they look like they suppress well also.
I get a kick out of watching Colion shoot this gun! He is having a blast and makes it fun to watch! I'm planning on getting this rifle VERY soon! Thanks Colion!!
I got mine with the same scope before watching your video tonight. I intend to take it to the range this week. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Your happiness with it has me even more excited.
My first ever Ruger was a P89 and I had lots of fun with that 9 mm. I can't wait to get this .308 AR.
my very first handgun was a p 89 with the dual calibers {9mm 30 luger} almost 28 years later still have it, never a single issue
I have a stainless P89. It will outlive all of mankind.
Peter is an excellent loyal and durable man. Not a lot of people would stand there and eat the gas of a 308 to the face just to get the shot but he truly is built different from the rest.😂😂
Told myself it's time to upgrade to a308. Was looking at a M1A yesterday. Now here you come with this. The way you was shaking in the 1st montage of shots had me sold.
Love the enthusiasm! We get to live a little vicariously through you!!
Hell of a scope! Just purchased this rifle for range and hunting. Let’s see how it does,
Nice job Colin. Loved this review.
That platform is what I like as well. That ruger looks real nice Clark.
Ruger has been stepping up their game lately.
Some great news guns in the last couple of years.
Ruger has always been ready to playball!
Lol you were giddy shooting that rifle, that alone sold me... Awesome review, I put it on my Christmas list!
You are like a kid on Christmas morning. It makes me smile!
I built one with the Gibbz upper and BSF carbon barrel 16" barrel in 308. Good to see that Ruger has thought of a gun that is lite weight.
POF Revolution
'Nuff said
Thank you.
Sounds great but would like a thorough "affordable" AR10 comparison video... include POF Rogue 16.5 inch as it is 5.9# and comes in at $1500 compared to SFAR 16.1 in barrel at 6.8# for $1200... The AR10 Springfield Saint is 7.8# and $1300.
Just purchased one yesterday. Then came across this video. It is an awesome rifle. My first ar platform and first .308. I am so pleased with my purchase.
I missed this video, but I went and picked this rifle up yesterday!! Appreciate you Colion!!!!
I been waiting for a 308 Ar I can't believe it took someone so long to make one
Idk if this is satire but just to be safe imma tell you the ar-10 platform has been out for a while.
How ironic is it I been looking at this gun all day trying to decide if I want it in 16" or 20" and the plan was to throw my vortex 1-8 on and pretty much call it a wrap. The gun gods have spoken to me and I am listening.
Go for the 20" if you really want to distance shoot sometimes... definitely 1-8x vortex will do it. I got a 1-6x Vortex & the 16" barrel, kinda kicking myself for not going the route you want to take.
Beautiful Gun, really enjoy the honest and heartfelt reviews! Jealous of the new purchase, definitely on my list of must have guns!
Colin laying down suppressive firepower and loving the hell out of it. Ruger model AR-556 is 6.5lbs. SFAR is 6.8lbs and 1.75" longer. It is their 556 modified to shoot 3.08. Comes with an adjustable gas block for different ammo or silenced. POF Rogue was there first but Ruger is several hundred cheaper. Lot of gun in a standard size package
This is everything it needs to be for me to consider a 308 rifle.
I have the same, but it's a Bushmaster. 16-inch Barrel, 308. Love it...
I have the Ruger SFAR and I love it and it has performpreformed flawlessly!
Curious what ammo your gun likes?
Call me crazy but I don't consider a gun until CN reviews it. Glad to see Ruger putting out quality products. Thank you.
My 2A Armament in 308 with 18in barrel is 6.75 lbs but at almost 3 times the cost . That Ruger really looks good might just have to give one a try.
I built an 18 inch carbon fiber 2a and vseven thats under 6 pounds and literally killed an 11 point buck today at 220 yards.
Go pof rogue at 5.9 pounds and they don't worship the atf like ruger
Anyone gonna acknowledge the amazing editing and background music to really make this video stand out. What a great vid! Keep it up man.
Watched the video ! Shorty afterwards bought one but I got the 20in barrel version which by some reviews is even better recoil wise love the adjustable gas system. Absolutely love my 20in Ruger SFAR! Ruger needs to cut you a check for the advertisement and promo you did for them !
I'm curious how it runs suppressed but I would love to do a RECCE build with this. The lightweight platform with a cartridge that can go harder and longer than 5.56 is a nice balance. Other than that, this actually seems like a .308 you can fight with and I love that. Great job Ruger!
A gun channel called beyond seclusion did a review with it suppressed. Look his video up, did distances out to 500 yards. Great video review
My thoughts exactly
They have an adjustable gas block... and porting to prevent overgassing... this was a consideration in the designing
@@lanceward3352 There is no porting on this rifle. You’re probably thinking of the muzzle brake which would be removed when attaching a suppressor.
It runs great suppressed with any length suppressor, I got the 16in version myself.
I love their original SR 762. Good to see they improved on that already great platform.
Not really the pof rogue 308 is 5.9 pounds and better quality
I dont think I have ever seen Colion this Excited
Love it. My DPMS Ar10 is a tank . Would love to try a light 10
Hell, my DPMS AR15 is heavy
@@pwd1679 even the dpms ak's are heavy. @ least the older models anyway as i can't speak to the newest dpms rifles be them AR's or AK's.
@@nova68cutie mine is old....time for an upgrade
Makes me consider getting rid of my DPMS Hunter...
Man.. he was absolutely giddy! That says a lot coming from him. On my way to finding one now
Love it sir. Been a sub for years and years!
A Mk 214 and M1A SOCOM 16 are both louder and heavier: This looks intriguing!
I LOVE mine. I asked to see it at the gun shop and just had to own it.
Best, 10 minute pre-Christmas commercial this year.
I like shooting AR-15 platforms, but I fell in love after shooting a couple rounds through my Ruger SFAR. I can't take it anywhere without a crowd circling around in excitement.
Bought mine yesterday. I got the 20 inch barrel for additional velocity and range.
Do you think the 16” is good enough for hunting?
@@furonwarrior definitely. If your only shooting 100-300 yards you are golden
Yooooo poonyeeti. Thinking of getting one myself.
I'm waiting to see some long-term reliability reviews on it, and if it passes the test, I'M ALL IN.
It’s a ruger, I think they have a pretty good track record that you can trust.
@@guins99 I agree. Their revolvers especially. They're fairly new to the AR game though. Brand New to the AR 10 game, and that's a more finicky system with different tolerances than 5.56. Springfield has a good reputation. So does Remington. I've had total LEMONS from both companies (especially Remington after they split and became a conglomerate).
Never seen you happier in a review and that says a lot. Gonna buy one soon!!
I'm a Ruger fan, and your reaction makes me really want this one. Enjoy your videos 😉
