Any shooters using a SCAR 20S in the Geissele, 3Gun or any other matches? Any feedback? What optics are you running? Any other mods done to ur stick?

I’ll be there. Not sure if shooting or ROing but I’ll look for a SCAR.
Could you elaborate on why?
Thanks
The one I shot was easily the most abusive semiauto 308 I have ever shot in terms of recoil. It just plain sucked to shoot. The cheek riser beat the shit out of my cheek, the recoil pushed me all over the place, and even felt recoil in my shoulder was unpleasant. I'd take any decent AR-10 over a 308 SCAR any day.

lol, that's odd, or maybe the Scar 20S is significantly different than the rifle you shot, or maybe you shot one without a brake.
i say this only because it seems tame to me, and this little girl didn't have any issues with it on her first try.
if you want to feel real recoil, you can shoot my Winchester Model 88 .308 lever gun.
The one i shot has a PWS comp on it, if memory serves, and we were shooting 175gr issued ammo. The biggest issues with the one I shot were just how jarring the cycling was, and the cheek riser beating the hell out of my face. Since it wasn't my rifle, I also didn't try to adjust it to fit me, so that may have been part of the problem.
If I want to feel recoil, I will go shoot my buddy's .50BMG bolt gun, or take the brake off my SAUM.
haha, you got me on that one.
The shoulder recoil on the SCAR was more a case of "this shouldn't have this much recoil" and not "ow this hurts" recoil. It was definitely a lot more noticable than even a decently tuned AR-10, much less one that's really dialed in (Seekins, GAP, etc).
@cobra655 =u shooting the G gas gun series next weekend @ NHRPC?
i was comparing to another .308, but i am envious of you having a chance to shoot that .50!
i might be less sensitive since i don't shoot a lot of small caliber rifles unless i am with buddies at the range,
still, some Scar shooters are running smaller gas jets to lower the recoil on the Scar (like people tune their ARs) so there are remedies to the out of the box recoil if you prefer something that shoots softer, rather than something configured to work no matter what ammo you feed it, under almost any conditions. it is not a purpose built soft shooting large caliber target gun.
I haven't actually shot his .50BMG bolt gun (I'm not even sure when HE even shot it last), but I have shot his Sharps and his transferrable M2HB. I've also shot an M82 and issued M107, plus plenty of other thumpers over the years. Recoil doesn't really bother me (I think 12ga slugs are fun and cute), but the SCAR just wasn't pleasant to shoot. I'm sure it can be tuned better for competitive shooting, but the one I got to play with wasn't, so it's the only basis for comparison I have.
thanks! maybe someday for that bmg
i guess it is all relative or subjective. Lots of shooters feel differently.
KAC SR25 ECR/M110 or FNH Scar 20s?
Alright guys, Interesting topic (i think). For DMR work (7.62 inside 850M), which of the two is the best? I am considering purchasing one of the two platforms, however am not tied to either brand. The KAC would be around $6000 all kitted out to resemble an M110 while the Scar 20s would be...www.snipershide.com
i think i am a bit sensitive because some folks (not necessarily you) like to go out of their way to bash on a platform they don't run.
while i am not competing, i think it is noble to take what is basically a battle rifle into competition with target rifles i would not want to rely on in a SHTF situation or zombie invasion
Personally, I will stick to 5.56 in my gassers, though.
so, u need a SCAR 16S?
What accuracy are you getting with the Seekins?No thanks. I've already got a Mk18-ish SBR and an 18" Seekins setup that work great.
