Gents,
Acquring a Scar-17 and was wondering if you guys had any tips/tricks to make it a better rifle. I know it's not a precision rifle and I don't expect it to, but just wondering what sorts of mods and maybe what ammo you've found that it likes.
Thanks
Hi gunsmithcat,
I've had my Scar 17s for about 4 years now. While is not the most accurate of my 7.62x51's, its plenty accurate and it's a blast to shoot. The only changes I've made to it were installing a Geissele Super Scar trigger and swapping the lower for a Handl Defense lower so it'll take Pmag's. Nothing against the oem lower but I already had dozens of pmags on hand and at the time and scar 17 mags were as common as unicorn tears. The rifle has run flawlessly with zero malfunctions. My only complaint with the Handl Defense lower is that it fits really tight where it mates with the stock. Other than that, it runs the pmags nicely. The glass I have for it is an Elcan Specter DR 1/6x. It's been very happy on a diet of 175 gr SMK, 42.8 gr 4064, CCI 34
