Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Ruger SFAR and what caliber is it chambered in?

The Ruger SFAR is a small-frame autoloading rifle designed to mimic the weight and size of a .223 caliber AR-15 but is chambered in the more powerful .308 Winchester cartridge. This design offers a balance of manageability and ballistic performance.

What is the recommended optic for the Ruger SFAR, and why?

The EOTech Vudu 1-6x optic is highly recommended for the Ruger SFAR. Its variable magnification is ideal for engaging targets from close range out to 500 yards, and its reticle design provides clear aiming points at all magnifications.

How is the recoil managed on the Ruger SFAR in .308 Winchester?

Despite being chambered in .308 Winchester, the Ruger SFAR is noted for its surprisingly light recoil. This is attributed to its design and potentially the rifle's weight distribution, making it comfortable and easy to shoot for extended periods.

What are the key steps involved in zeroing an optic on the Ruger SFAR?

Zeroing involves mounting the optic, performing a bore sight at a close distance (e.g., 60 yards), confirming impact at 50 yards, then moving to 100 yards for fine-tuning. EOTech optics offer tactile and audible clicks for precise turret adjustments during this process.
