Best Thermal Scopes for the Ruger SFAR
The Ruger SFAR packs .308 into an AR-15-sized rifle — a do-everything hog and predator gun that begs for a thermal on top. Its full-length Picatinny rail takes any thermal scope directly. Heat vision finds hogs in brush and tall grass day or night; here's every thermal that fits, from the entry 320 sensor to the duty-grade 640, ranked by how well it suits the rifle.
