Primus, don't temp me, I already did a lot of staring at the Deadshot website lol.
I would buy a 20 today, if I could find one, and afford it.

Got a bushnell dmr 2 pro for my scar 20, but havent even shot it yet. Intial impressions I think the scope will do good, glass was better than expected and their warranty gives me a piece of mind.

There are just so many choices out there now its mind boggling. I don't wanna thread hijack. Will be watching to see other suggestions maybe help me choose for my 20.

I recommend you go and look through a bunch of different things. I make the mistake of buying stuff to test that I've never even touched and end up buying 3 different scopes before I find what I actually like.

Hawk- you're good, I'm sure what scopes get brought up in this thread will be able to help you. Primus suggested a March or Kahles, and I imagine in the higher power range, with a good reticle, would be insane on your 20.

Painterbolt- that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid. I end up doing that with most things. Buy the new shiny to try, and end up not liking it quite as much as I thought I would.

The single best upgrade you could make is getting it rebarreled in 6.5cm. takes the scar to a whole new level.

Which barrel did you get and hows it printing? Every time I almost go this route I talk myself back out of it.

 

[Primus]

I haven't done it yet...too many higher priority projects. It's on the list however.

Bought a Bushnell Elite Tectical SMRS 1-8.5x28 today from CameralandNY. Spoke with a guy named Neil via phone and he was very helpful. I later spoke with someone I assume is the owner who was also very knowledgable. Glad I heard about them here and can't wait to get the scope in and mounted on the SCAR. I already have a Bushnell XRS II on my LWRC REPR and I absolutely love it.

I called them while ago, and the guy I talked to seemed to know his stuff. After a lot of thinking, and talking to Ilya, I ended up with the swfa ss 3-15. I've read they're tough as nails, and glass is pretty comparable to my friends vortex viper gen1.
I might move it to something else in the future, but so far I'm very happy with it, and the Seekins MXM mount I put it in.

Off topic but what did Primus do to get banned?

From reading some of his replies to other members, I assume that’s what got him shit canned.
