Look at getting a scar 16 223, planning on it being the go to farm/shtf rifle. I know the scar 17 are hard on optics wasn’t sure about the 16. Would like something with some power 1-6 ish more or less is ok. Just want it to be reliable. Would like budget is 1k or less
 
Most of the ones I have seen are for the scar in 308
Didn’t see much on Scar16 either except some trigger talk. I got a Specter on mine right now with no complaints. Before that it had a plain jane Eotech 556 that had been on it since I bought the gun new. Eotech never had any issues and so far the elcan hasn’t either. You said 1k price point but there was a specter sold on here the other day for just a little over that.
 
I have the 3.5x ACOG on mine with the chevron and 223 BDC. After using this for about 3 years, I would do the same thing again. You should be able to get this for around your price point.
