I received a FN SCAR 17 recently and I have to say that I love this rifle! It's light, accurate, great ergonomics, and nice features like a folding stock. Disassembly and cleaning is a breeze, it's very low maintenance. The only fault it has/had is the trigger, which I remedied with a Geissele Super SCAR. I have no trouble hitting an 18" plate at 500 meters. I've bought, sold and traded many firearms over the past few years and have had some great ones. This would include a LT OBR. Of all of them, this SCAR is by far my favorite.
In fact, If for some reason I had to sell my collection and was limited to keeping one, the SCAR would be it. I'm still working to get the rifle where I want it.. 50 years from now our kids will be watching the history/military channel top 10 battle rifles and the SCAR will be in the list. Photos:
