There's a few videos out there - the general consensus seems to be it's a well made rifle coming in lower than the big names out there (POF, LWRC, etc). A bit interested myself, I'd like to get hands on with one.

I've watched a couple reviews on it. From what I've seen, the rifle handles a lot like an AR15. About the same size and weight, with the benefit of a real bullet instead of a hopped up .22 LR. The recoil isn't bad at all, due to a very impressive muzzle brake, but it's brutal to those people to the right and left. Lighter and lower recoil than most AR-10's out there, but it's a 16 inch barrel with a hoss brake on it, so it's LOUD and unfriendly to those people unfortunate to be sitting to either side of you at the range. Definitely impressive though, and makes me interested in maybe getting another AR after growing bored with them years ago and selling my two for a heavy premium after Sandy Hook.

I really liked the Lipsey's review. I wish Jerry or Hickok45 would get a review up

Interesting rifle, but in Ruger time we are at least one safety recall away from it being mature IMO.

Right? I'd be a lot more enthusiastic if it WASN'T a Ruger lol

I have one. Just my opinion but it's priced way to cheap for what it is. Swap the factory buffer for an H2 and run the gas block in position 2.
People seem to get hung up on Ruger quality meaning security 9 and lcp, but forget the RPR and things like the Doug Koenig 1911 from Ruger. I give it 2 thumbs up

Thanks @twodogsfym for the input you can watch a million reviews but intill you know someone who owns one its really hard to base spending the money on people who most likely get kick backs from these company's.

I've just never been much of an AR10 fan due to weight and size but an AR15 size 308 was intriguing. So far I absolutely love it.

This may be something to grab in the near future. Since trading off my KAC SR-25, I still want a .308 option. The SFAR is right up that alley. Throw and nice 1-6x24 or 1-8x24 scope and BUISs on it and it is good to go.

 

[twodogsfym]

Probably going to put a 1x6 lpvo on it.
