Does look interesting BUT SFAR is a boring name. Hellion (as in Springfield Hellion) is much more exciting!

 

[Sparky1911]

I’m definitely interested in trying one out. Good excuse to buy something new

So they're taking a stab at the POF Revolution? Cool. I was curious about the POF, but have never really pursued it. I'd consider this one, depending how it responds to testing. Hopefully it'll outlast their SR-556 with the takedown barrel.

Looks interesting. I like that you can get either a 16" or 20" barrel.

 

[SKumar]

I think this thing is freakin awesome. 308 in a 556 size rifle? I already have the SR762 (Rugers piston-driven AR-10) which is almost the same thing. The only difference is the gas system and the size. If I didn't have that, I would definitely get this one.

 

[daekken]

The adjustable gas system is nice.

How do you like the SR762? Accurate? Reliable?

The only POF I know is Plenty Of Fish. But I am sure that is not what you meant.

Skinflints couldn’t include MagPul back up iron sights?

That price tag. Damn.

 

[JRT]

So it's a copy of my POF, cool, it's a really nice rifle.

 

[Mesatchornug]

That price tag. Damn.

Yep. Even the DI version is more than twice what Ruger is asking for here. That's most of why I haven't tried to figure out how to get one.

I'm a little surprised Ruger managed to shave almost a half pound off of the already pretty light POF rifle, impressive.

I'll admit to significant curiosity.

the 16" one is just a 6.8lbs - pretty nice. me likey.
group buy?

That's probably the piston system. The DI looks to be the same: 6.8 lbs with 16" barrel.

 

[In God We Trust]

I’m guessing that makes the recoil a factor. Should have at least given it a heavy barrel

I'm listening.

Allegedly, POF made it work on theirs. Hopefully, the designers at Ruger took copious notes

AH, makes sense, when I bought my POF SBR the only option was DI so I didn't know they offered it in piston now.

I thought that was the case!

They've rearranged the site. Now the "Revolution" has a piston, and the "Revolution DI" has a tube. I just linked the first one I could find up thread, because I'm lazy and on my phone.

Here's the DI page, for reference

$2700 - me not likey. if that ruger could be processed through the mill, it would be nice to get one, i would be 'in'. a $1200 is quite reasonable.

It’s insane. Feels like a tank in your hands. It has an adjustable short-stroke piston system, the BCG is nickel boron coated, and the stock trigger is light and crisp. I’ve shot it at 200yds and it hits pretty well. It would probably make a good hog hunting gun.

 

[KBCraig]

The product announcement mentioned a proprietary barrel extension and bolt.

It made no mention of the fire control parts being compatible with standard AR parts; it could be a deal breaker if they're not.

Since it's a deal-maker to use standard AR lower internals, you'd think they would use that as a selling point if it's compatible. If.

Or maybe they just have copy writers who don't understand the market.

Pakistan Ordnance Factory, AKA "Poor Old Fodder" when it comes to .303 ammo.

There's almost no compatibility on AR-10 anyways to begin with there are at least two or three different systems out there. I think the only point of compatibility is the magazines are usually the same.

Gut reaction:




Although I will say it is nice to see somebody making AR-10s that aren't like big f****** pieces of lard. Not everyone needs a 20in gun to shoot a mile with.
