Are the Scar 20S 6.5 Creedmoor out there. I have found several .308, but no 6.5.
Definitely interested. Looking to pay less then MSRP if possible.

maybe they are shipping from FN this week to other dealers as well.
im not looking to get raped on a SCAR, I'll wait till the rush is over. I havent acquire (4) SCARs bc I need it the day it comes out. Patience is key!
sweet, unfort, it's less accurate due to one shade. u need 4 more to shoot less than 1/2 MOA.
I have one, black and beautiful. They are getting out there slowly.Looks like August has come and gone (almost) still no 20s 6.5cm
GB still has a few black ones at reasonable pricing - $4,000 to $4,500. However the 6.5FDE appear to have been sold out on GB.
No. I would not pay that much. If you can't find one at a reasonable price keep looking. Not everyone will price gouge during these times. I have spent a lot of time and money at my LGS and they are honest guys and treated me well.
What issues? I finally got mine scoped and should be getting range time in the next week or so. I was in the middle of a move and had to put a couple projects on hold.
Interested to hear about the issues as well. Might wait for a new version as well if that’s the case.
primer flow, possibly weak hammer spring. there is a heavier spring available but this is just conjecture from others.

6.5 Creedmoor ammo / Scar20 issues
Hello all, new here but I’ve ghosted here for years. Please don’t interpret this first post as a troll trying trying to stir up something. I recently picked up a 20 much like I picked up a 17 way back when they first hit the streets, first one I saw, went home with me. I’ve fired roughly 100...

bummer to hear. if i was rich i would have one on pre-order.
my "old" one has never misfired, fte, ftf, nothing but sweetness.
i do suggest checking torque on the barrel screws before shooting.
Proven Outfitters is taking pre-orders for $3999. For the 6.5 flavor, both colors.
When they had the .308 for $3899 last summer though I was able to get it for $3400 or so on GB. Not now.
I picked up a SCAR 17 for $3049 on Proven, it was even in stock. It's not the best price but it's not a bad one either, not right now anyway. A maximum bid of $2800 on GB was bested with 7 days left to go so I figured it wasn't gonna happen there.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully the issue is resolved. I’ll have to keep my eye on that thread. Pretty recent!
Interesting read, a sample of two doesn't cause me any undue worry. If mine starts acting up then I will deal with it accordingly.primer flow, possibly weak hammer spring. there is a heavier spring available but this is just conjecture from others.

agree, it isn't a problem unless it is a problem. they aren't blowing up or something.
something like this would be great!

Gun Review: FN SCAR 20S Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor - The Truth About Guns
FN-USA has re-released last year’s SCAR 20S in 6.5 Creedmoor, and it’s perfect. The new SCAR 20S is the same gun, with the same trigger, stock, upper, lower, rails, finish, everything as the gun they released last year, just in a different chambering with a different barrel assembly. It’s the...

Just read the whole thing, nice review. I'll make you a deal, you send me 500 round of 6.5 ammo and I will run them through my rifle and write you a review.something like this would be great!

if i lived close by, i'd let you try my 7.62. one of the first 200.
Been shooting my 308 a lot lately. Don’t regret not waiting and getting the 6.5
Any of these in stock anywhere, would like to pick one up. I have a spare Schmidt and bender 5-25 with side mounted aimpoint ready to go
they can pop up but go quickly and since many places have pre-order lists, that doesn't happen often.
one place got 2 and they were sold the next day. one guy on fnforums said he walked into a lgs and found one.
if i could only have one, i'd still get the .308.
i don't have a range near me that goes past 900yds, and i like being able to shoot cheap ammo.
if i was going to compete, i'd wait.
Typically I’d agree but I have a few semi 308 and don’t have a 6.5 rifle in my arsenal at the moment, and lots of 6.5 Ammo
I am trying to decide between the scar 20 and the axsa. The 20s seems like the better choice. Don’t see any need for bolt action these days, especially when you can get the type of performance people are getting out of the scar 20s
Scheels seems to have 20s 6.5's and 308's in stock pretty consistently. Not cheap though. If the political environment wasn't so unstable you could snag a good deal on a 6.5 on gunbroker by summer. 308's are plentiful. If you really want one I'd pay the premium. I did. Not happy about it, but they could become extinct soon. I'll thank or curse myself later. AIAX or 20's, yes! Get both. Very different but really fun to shoot.
my ffl has one on backorder for me at a good price ($3899). I feel like i have so much shit paid for, or on backorder, and I am playing the waiting game on many of those things. Hopefully, 2021 will be a better year for guns!
