The Spear is similar to a gas-adjustable piston AR-10 rifle but does not feature a buffer tube, which allows the use of a folding stock. Another ergonomic enhancement is the side-folding charging handle, which provides you more leverage without taking your eye off the optic. All of this, along with some other smaller improvements, makes this rifle a high performer in modularity and reliability for the modern shooter.<\/p>\n<p>SIG released the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/sig-sauer-cross-6.5-creedmoor-bolt-action-rifle-black\/FC-798681625819.html?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=top-firearms-from-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cross<\/a> bolt-action rifle for elite hunters and long-range shooters.

The SFAR boasts the power of a .308 battle rifle in the size range of a standard .223 AR-15. Handy and sleek, the rifle is still beefed up (in the areas it needs to be to handle the increased power), while being lighter weight than other options.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"166\" alt=\"Ruger SFAR AR-10 .380 Winchester rifle, left quartering, profile\" class=\"wp-image-87694 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Ruger-SFAR-AR-10_11.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Ruger-SFAR-AR-10_11.jpg?resize=300%2C78&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Ruger-SFAR-AR-10_11.jpg?resize=150%2C39&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Ruger-SFAR-AR-10_11.jpg?resize=640%2C166&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Ruger-SFAR-AR-10_11.jpg?resize=640%2C166&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ruger SFAR AR-10 .380 Winchester rifle, left quartering, profile\" class=\"wp-image-87694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Ruger-SFAR-AR-10_11.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Ruger-SFAR-AR-10_11.jpg?resize=300%2C78&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Ruger-SFAR-AR-10_11.jpg?resize=150%2C39&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The SFAR is quite a rifle. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Smith &amp; Wesson<\/h4>\n<p>Finally, Smith &amp; Wesson delivered the FPC, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/sandw-mandp-fpc-folding-pistol-carbine-9mm-luger-semi-auto-rifle-16-threaded-barrel-23-rounds-black\/FC-022188892512.html?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=top-firearms-from-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Folding Pistol Carbine<\/a>.
