What I like most about it and that I think is the most significant feature, Ruger barely even talks about, which is the3-position gas regulator gas-block.

How would this compare to a Sig 716i? Been offered a trade but don’t know much about the gun. Should I hold and go Ruger?

Here's an entire upper for cheap, throw it on lower of your choice, go bang, enjoy the smell of burnt gunpowder.

I picked one up, I always wanted an AR-10 but am really like the AR-15 size of this SFAR. I have only taken it out once to sighted in at 45yrds, but that went quite well. The only down side I have found so far is the muzzle break concussion is unpleasant, especially for spectators.

I just got one. I will report back once I get it sighted in.

Definitely looks like something I may end up with in a few months.

I've been looking into this gun and I'm really liking it. I've always had a penchant for 308 battle rifles from the older legacy guns like the FAL to the AR's and even newer designs. I'm especially liking this Ruger because of the adjustable gas system feature as well as the lighter weight.
Really the only negative to the gun are the proprietary parts involved such as the bolt. However, that comes with the territory due to its unique compact design. Its just going to be an issue of trying to get Ruger to sell any spares, such as an extra bolt. The ready parts availability of all the AR parts is one of the biggest assets of the AR-15 and AR-10.
Of course, I have that same issue with the proprietary parts in the S&W M&P10. Like Ruger, they'll repair the gun if you send it in but asking to buy any parts is like pulling teeth.

Bear Creek Arsenal is total junk, and its assembled by illegal aliens. The company was even raided by ICE.

Been a long time since I've jumped on the site. Browsing and saw this thread. I only have a few rounds through it, but I'm enjoying the rifle thus far.
