Anybody heard when they are releasing the Scar 20 in 6.5? Emailed FN with no response and europtic had no idea.
Scar 20s 6.5
- Thread starter drcrk0525
- Start date
It was suppose to March from everything I was hearing from shot show 2020 but maybe with everything going on it got pushed back.
FN emailed me back this morning and advised should be released at the end of this month
Sent another email a few days ago. Sounds like they should be shipping out in a week or so.
So where is going to be the best place to pick one of these 6.5s up at? I am sure there we be few deals as they are fresh off the line.
Cheapest I found so far is $3900 at a local FFL for pre-order here in MI
i don't recall exactly as it has been a few years since i looked into them..
There were some FTF issues that occurred with early production rifles to a few guys downrange, and got some of them killed. Was a big uproar for a while. The SCARs I've used were 100% reliable when used with the correct gas system setting, but had worse factory triggers than some squirt guns I've owned. We had them out to 1000 routinely, but an aftermarket trigger would be my first move if I got one.
It was a bad batch that was less than .1% of guns... Hardly a real issue.
The factory trigger has always been serviceable, heavy but crisp. The Super Scar does take it to the next level.

Mine was one of those. Boxed it up with their shipping label and in 1 week had it back. No big deal.
And the Giesselle trigger is worth every damn nickel.

1-10x might be a bit limiting for a gas gun capable of 1500+ yds. jmo

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...

Mark 5 3.6-18 is what I plan to throw on mine. Damn dealer price at $3450, where’s that?? Cheapest I could find was $3900
I emailed FN again yesterday. Looks like it got pushed back to August. I think I’m just going to order one now in 308 and later purchase the 6.5 barrel assembly.
i heard $1200-1500, but don't know if that came from FN.Damn, August nowany idea how much the barrel assembly will be?
FN shit is never cheap. I would even try to grab sum1s 308 barrel if they were looking to save some loot.
I emailed about the availability and price today on the barrel assemblies so when I hear back I’ll let you know
and least they should last quite a bit longer than a more typical barrel, especially if doing rapid fire and letting it get really hot.
it is extremely light for a .308, partially because it is heavy, but i have only shot it with a surefire brake.
i've shot hundreds of rounds in a day and never felt tired or bothered by the recoil.
put it this way, a few friends that have only shot AR-15s or AKs and never a 30 cal rifle just turn around and smile at me.
Here’s one for a good price
