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

I’m going to be flat broke if this keeps up. Now I’ve got to get one of those.

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.

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.

Bought one. Been shooting it. Absolutely love it. My favorite rifle.

His emotions are the most genuine in KZfaq! I can feel his excitement shooting that AR

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.

Thank you , I’ve been looking to buy an AR10 but wasn’t thrilled with the prices I was seeing. Absolutely outstanding.

Pretty cool 308 rifle, glad the round is in a commonly used rifle platform

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.

When a man with tons of firearm experience literally gets giggly you know it's a great firearm

Awesome review. You can't fake that kind of joy. I want one now

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

It's really the steel parts, barrel, bcg, and barrel nut that are always the heaviest. They did a great job minimizing those.

You Sir had way to much fun making this video. Love it, makes me want to go get one.

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.

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 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!

That giggle when your shooting this thing has me sold. I want one now.

Sub 7 LBS is insane! There's a lot of bolt guns that aren't that lightweight

Thank you for doing vids like this, as a more budget conscious gun guy i personally appreciate these.

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....💯

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!

That is a dope rifle. Ruger is kicking butt!

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!

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. 😂

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 🤣

Your trigger discipline is amazing Bro, the quickness of some of those pulls... awesome! Great video.

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

I've had mine for almost 2 months now. My favorite gun I've bought

I’ve been considering adding a .308 to my selection. Nice to know Ruger offers an affordable option.

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! 👊🏼🇺🇲👊🏼

Got out with mine yesterday for the first time, I couldn't be happier absolutely fantastic out of the box.

Your camera guy and editing guy deserves as much kudos as the guy behind the rifle...Great AR10 from Ruger. They nailed it.

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.

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.😂😂

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!

Love my Windham RSF 16 .308. 16" barrel, 1 1/2" groups at 300. Built as my everything rifle. 7.5 lbs undressed

stay safe everyone

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.

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... ❤️

Definitely considering one of these. Other videos I've seen they look like they suppress well also.

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.

Love it sir. Been a sub for years and years!

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.

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. 🦅🦅🗽🦅🦅😎😎😎🐈

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.

Beautiful Gun, really enjoy the honest and heartfelt reviews! Jealous of the new purchase, definitely on my list of must have guns!

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.

Lol you were giddy shooting that rifle, that alone sold me... Awesome review, I put it on my Christmas list!

The compensator looks a lot like the one on the Galil Ace in 308. Significantly helps to mitigate the recoil.

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.

You are like a kid on Christmas morning. It makes me smile!

You’ve single handily convinced me to purchase this rifle. Picking it up today

I like how excited Colion gets shooting. I like Colion's and Hikok 45 the joy they get plinking.

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!!

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.

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.

Nice job Colin. Loved this review.

Love the enthusiasm! We get to live a little vicariously through you!!

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

This is everything it needs to be for me to consider a 308 rifle.

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.

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.

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.

Ruger has been stepping up their game lately. Some great news guns in the last couple of years.

Anyone gonna acknowledge the amazing editing and background music to really make this video stand out. What a great vid! Keep it up man.

That platform is what I like as well. That ruger looks real nice Clark.

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!

Hell of a scope! Just purchased this rifle for range and hunting. Let’s see how it does,

Added to my wish list!

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.

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.

Call me crazy but I don't consider a gun until CN reviews it. Glad to see Ruger putting out quality products. Thank you.

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.

Looking to get 1 soon. Good review. Thanks

I been waiting for a 308 Ar I can't believe it took someone so long to make one

Look,look,look.... I crack me up Bruh, smiling 😃 and giggling as you throw down and give your opinions on this AR-10!! Sound's and look's like ya had a Helluva time in your firing obstacle course!!🗣🗨💫👊⚡️💪💥

Best, 10 minute pre-Christmas commercial this year.

Cool video! You definitely appear quite giddy! 😄😁 While the light-weight AR-10 sounds very interesting, I'm staying with my STAG 10 Marksman. I don't plan on humpin' around the woods with it typically, but if I need to, it will have a BFG padded sling. 😉😎

Love it. My DPMS Ar10 is a tank . Would love to try a light 10

POF Revolution 'Nuff said

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 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.

I LOVE mine. I asked to see it at the gun shop and just had to own it.

Never seen you happier in a review and that says a lot. Gonna buy one soon!!

I missed this video, but I went and picked this rifle up yesterday!! Appreciate you Colion!!!!

A Mk 214 and M1A SOCOM 16 are both louder and heavier: This looks intriguing!

I'm waiting to see some long-term reliability reviews on it, and if it passes the test, I'M ALL IN.

I'm a Ruger fan, and your reaction makes me really want this one. Enjoy your videos 😉

I have the Ruger SFAR and I love it and it has performpreformed flawlessly!

Now this is the kind of rifle you get to keep 308 relevant now. Still would love to see this in 6.5 Creedmoor though.

I bought a Stag 10 a few months before this came out. I have long been a Ruger fan and had this have been out for sale then, this might have been a serious contender at the time. No disappointment on the Stag though either.

Love it looking forward to getting one
