Ruger SFAR: From Trash to Treasure

Ruger SFAR from Trash to Treasure #ruger #sfar #treasure #trash
This video is about my ongoing Ruger SFAR rifle saga. This time a barrel replacement to address the horrible accuracy I've experienced. Ruger customer service has been a joy to work with.

I’m glad that ruger treated you right on this but these rifles have had waaay too many problems for me to walk into my local sporting goods store and buy one. Aaand, I was very excited for these when they were first released.

My comment got deleted. Just said can’t wait for you to take it out!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your SFAR. I have the 16" as well and it came back for the second time about a week ago with the same problem initially had like double stacking, shaving, malfunctions on setting 2, etc. I haven't been able take it to the range yet and really hope that they fixed it this time. I must say that their customer service is superlative when it come to treating clients. Looking forward to seeing your video on accuracy.

I’ve read but not confirmed but has guns sometimes lose accuracy when suppressed. Where bolt guns typically gain accuracy.

Great update! Ruger customer service helped me out a few years ago when my SR762 would stop every 4 to 5 rounds, contacted Ruger and sent the rifle to them from SC to their Mynock,NC facility and they replaced the gas regulator . No problems since.....

[@chasemichaud9519]

I have accuracy issues with mine. Not super inaccurate but I feel it could be better. I'm wondering if mine has the same issue. Thanks for the video

[@user-yk3bc5ne3g]

Cool that they got you fixed up but in my opinion, a rifle like that shouldn't need match ammo to get decent accuracy. I do agree that ruger has great customer service, though.

My ruger Sfar is a treasure of mine !

[@RTACDaughters]

I will stay with LR308

[@j_c_hunt]

Glad they got it worked out for you! All the rugers I’ve ever owned have been handguns (P89 and Blackhawk), and I’ve never had issues with those. You’re right in an above comment, if they’ve had some issues, but take to combining all the upgrades and fixes into a V2 rifle, it will most likely be a cherry. Sometimes platforms go thru some growing pains before they are perfect. Maybe this is the case with the SFAR. Look forward to a range report.

My own very unscientific reserach shows that it looks like it's mostly the 16 inch model that's riddled with issues. Probably because of the shorter gas system. My 20 inch gun works flawless with all 308w and all 7.62NATO that I can get my hands on.

NO ONE, treats their customers better than RUGER.

[@MichaelLakota-vc4tk]

I use the same ammo that Ruger used to test your sfar. I see no reason to change the ammunition for deer hunting because I have been using those same bullets for years. Excellent results, most deer drop in their tracks. All deer I have shot were 150yrds and under. A vortex red dot on my sfar is the perfect setup for me 😉

Back to the old drawing board to put all of the aftermarket goodies back on.

[@ChrisFromThe740]

This is awesome news and I can't wait to see you get it back out to the range

[@fluffy10mmjeepguy92]

👍👍.... I'm looking forward to the new videos and testing of it now. I'm glad ruger took care of you on it. I can't wait to get mine out and run lots of rds out of it. It will be winter/spring time, tho before i can get out to do it.

[@ThecrazyScotsman]

Ruger has always been good about addressing issues glad they got ya fixed up

[@Michigan4Conservative]

Nice to see the positive response.👍💯🇺🇸

[@johnlong7504]

Thanks for your nice info-clip, I hope not to the have problems you had when shooting

[@Blackhorseveteran]

I've had no issues with my new SFAR except heavy recoil shooting 180gr. Rem Corlokt. Not sure if I got hot loads, or gun is over gassed. Shoots everything else ok...
