Description

Product Overview

The Ruger SFAR M81 Woodland is a revolutionary modern sporting rifle that redefines the .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO platform. Engineered for the shooter who demands full-power rifle performance without the traditional bulk and weight, this small-frame AR (SFAR) delivers big-caliber capability in a package that handles more like a standard AR-15. With its compact 16.1″ barrel and distinct M81 Woodland finish, this rifle is ideal for hunters pursuing medium to large game in dense brush or from a blind, for dedicated marksmen seeking a versatile defensive or duty-ready rifle, and for shooters who want a single, do-everything rifle for both range training and field application. It bridges the gap between power and practicality.

Key Features

• Small-Frame .308 Platform: The SFAR’s receiver and bolt carrier group are specifically scaled down, resulting in a rifle that is significantly lighter and more balanced than traditional AR-10 pattern rifles, reducing shooter fatigue and improving handling.
• 16.1″ Threaded Barrel with 5R Rifling: The cold hammer-forged barrel features a 1:10″ twist rate and precision 5R rifling for reduced fouling and consistent accuracy with a wide variety of .308 Win and 7.62 NATO ammunition. The threaded muzzle (5/8″-24) is ready for a muzzle brake, compensator, or suppressor.
• M81 Woodland Durability: Finished in the iconic M81 Woodland pattern with Ruger’s proprietary Type II hard-coat anodizing on the aluminum components, this rifle offers exceptional corrosion resistance and a unique, rugged aesthetic that stands out from standard black rifles.
• Two-Stage Match-Grade Trigger: Outfitted from the factory with a user-adjustable two-stage trigger, the SFAR provides a crisp, predictable break that enhances control and shot placement, a significant upgrade over typical mil-spec triggers.
• Regulated Gas System: Features a four-position adjustable gas block, allowing you to tune the rifle’s operation for specific ammunition, suppressed or unsuppressed fire, and environmental conditions, ensuring reliable cycling and reduced recoil impulse.
• Complete Package: Ships with two 20-round Magpul PMAGs, a set of flip-up iron sights, and a rugged hard case, providing everything needed to head to the range right out of the box.

Performance & Applications

This rifle’s specific configuration makes it exceptionally capable in defined roles. For the whitetail or hog hunter in wooded or broken terrain, the 16.1″ barrel provides excellent maneuverability from a tree stand or while still-stalking, while the .308 Winchester cartridge delivers decisive energy at ethical hunting ranges. The semi-automatic action allows for quick follow-up shots if necessary.

As a versatile defensive or patrol rifle, the SFAR’s combination of a potent, barrier-blind cartridge, manageable size, and 20-round capacity offers a substantial advantage. The adjustable gas system ensures reliable function with a variety of duty and training loads, and the ability to mount a suppressor and optic creates a highly adaptable system for professional or prepared citizen use.

Finally, for the precision-minded shooter, the foundation is all here. The match-grade trigger, 5R rifled barrel, and stable platform make the SFAR an excellent candidate for a designated marksman role or for honing intermediate-range shooting skills without the punishing weight of a heavier rifle, making extended training sessions more productive.
