In my opinion, the 17 is the one to beat. That being said, the only thing I would get over the 17 would be this :
My buddy just picked one of those up... im interested to shoot it!
What the hell...I'm bored. Not in my opinion, if you're going to use the term "battle rifle" loosely. I'd take a well built/equipped AR platform SPR in .223 any day of the week. Battle involves putting holes in bad guys and in that light the SCAR is kind of a rookie. Maybe a very good one but a rookie none the less.
Not even close, and frankly I'm shocked at how many people fall for the SCAR nonsense. Any competently build AR10 wil be lighter, more accurate, more versatile in terms of aftermarket and calibers, FAR more accurate, and just as reliable. Shit even some facts AR10 style rifles make the scar look silly like JP.
I hate threads like this with an OP that just signed up, but I will bite... The Scar 17, in my opinion, is the jack of all trades, master of none. Due to the pencil profile barrel and lack of consistency when warm and suppressed, I bought the Scar 13.5 inch barrel and SBR'd mine, and have much better results now. Still a 1 MOA gun, but it does hit torso size steel at 800 meters like its going out of style, and I was able to get 10/20 shots on at 1000 meters with some 178 gr hand loads. If I was only allowed one weapon with an unknown role, it would be the 13 inch Scar 17 as I feel it really can do anything... not as accurate or good at range as my 20 inch REPR, not as light and nimble as a Scar 16 10 inch or SBR AR15, but the combination of light recoil, light weight, and ability to reach out and touch someone if/when needed makes it the best "all in one" in my opinion.
Good grief, no, the FN SCAR 17 is not the "best battle" rifle....
Get a clue and a grip people.
I contemplated buying a 17 and went with a lwrc repr. much better option
Really its just my personal opinion. Looked at the cost and availability of aftermarket parts and the repr seamed like a better option to me. It came with a 2 stage geissele trigger and takes pmags which is nice. I know some of the older reprs had a few issues so maybe thats why people were selling them cheap. The one i have is a "gen 2" its been a great gun with zero problemsRepr much better option in which way?
I've never shot one, but people seem to sell them at heavy discounts.
M4A1 and yes I mean it.
If I had to only pick one out of my safe to take with me, that would be the one.
It doesn't meet the definition of "Battle rifle" but its the reality of what Id take all fantasy imaginings aside.
And this is one 16" barrel VS SCAR 17s ( battle rifle or any ~~~ )
