The Ruger SFAR 5615 delivers full-power .308 Winchester performance in a state-compliant configuration engineered for precision shooting and tactical applications. This rifle combines Ruger's proven manufacturing quality with modern ergonomics and modularity for shooters requiring compliance without compromising capability.
What Makes This Different
The SFAR (Small Frame Autoloading Rifle) represents Ruger's entry into the precision semi-automatic market, utilizing a compact receiver design that reduces weight compared to traditional .308 platforms. The 20-inch cold hammer-forged barrel provides enhanced velocity and accuracy potential over shorter configurations. State compliance features ensure legal ownership in restricted jurisdictions while maintaining essential functionality.
Key Features
- Cold hammer-forged 20-inch barrel with 1:10 twist rate optimized for .308 Winchester
- 15-inch free-floating M-LOK handguard for accessory mounting and thermal management
- Magpul SL buttstock with adjustable length of pull and cheek weld
- Magpul MOE+ pistol grip with enhanced texture and ergonomics
- Muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots
- 10-round magazine capacity meets state compliance requirements
- Mil-spec trigger group with consistent break and reset
Range performance centers on the precision-oriented 20-inch barrel length, which maximizes .308 Winchester ballistics for extended-range applications. The free-floating handguard eliminates barrel contact that could affect accuracy, while the muzzle brake system manages recoil characteristics inherent to the .308 cartridge. Competitive shooters and hunters benefit from the enhanced sight radius and velocity retention at distance.
