Ruger SFAR Semi-Automatic Modern Sporting Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor 20" Threaded Barrel (1)-20Rd Magazine Magpul PRS Lite Stock Black Hard Coat Anodized Finish
Ruger is pleased to announce additional models of the award-winning Small-Frame Autoloading Rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. These models are equipped with a 20" barrel and rifle-length gas system, keeping the SFAR smaller and lighter than comparable rifles, while achieving the ballistic performance, low recoil, and accuracy that the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is known for. The SFAR is fitted with Magpul's PRS Lite stock and a more vertical Magpul MOE K2 grip that improves comfort and control. Like the .308 Winchester models, SFARs chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor feature a tuned, 4-position regulated gas block, nitride-coated, cold hammer-forged barrel, and 15" Magpul M-LOK handguard.
Features : -A true Small-Frame Autoloading Rifle, the SFAR is nearly identical in size to a traditional 5.56-caliber modern sporting rifle
-Made from a 7075-T6 hard-coat anodized aluminum forging
-Venting holes in the upper receiver, barrel extension, and bolt carrier ensure that excess gas is directed safely away from the user
-Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, the SFAR is a light-recoiling, long-range capable platform that's nearly identical in size to a traditional MSR
-15" aluminum handguard is free-floated for accuracy and features Magpul M-LOK accessory attachment slots
-Lower receiver is fitted with a Magpul PRS Lite stock that balances the rifle and has secure length of pull and comb height adjustments
-Magpul MOE-K2 grip provides ergonomic access to trigger and safety controls
-Bolt and barrel extensions are CNC-machined from high-strength super alloy steel that outperforms traditional C158 bolts
-Compatible with most mil-spec MSR trigger groups, receiver end plates, charging handles, pistol grips, and adjustable stocks
-Ruger 2-port Boomer muzzle brake has large perpendicular surfaces to redirect gas and reduce felt recoil

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced by Hornady in 2008. Uniquely, it was designed for accuracy with long-range competition in mind. Using a 308 Winchester (30 TC, 300 Savage) case shortened to 1.920 inches, it will feed through the shortest existing bolt actions, but remains supersonic to well beyond 1000 yards. Standard velocity is a 140-grain .264-inch bullet at 2820 fps, also making it an effective but mild-recoiling medium-range hunting cartridge. The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced with little fanfare, but after it started winning matches shooters took notice. This is an unusual phenomenon for a cartridge to suddenly "take off" years after its introduction, but that's the story of the 6.5 Creedmoor--after about 2016 it became one of the most-talked-about cartridges, with both rifle and ammunition offerings expanding rapidly.
