Range Report on the SCAR
Ok, finally got to go to the range with the FN SCAR 17S I bought from a friend. We took 10 boxes of ammo to see what this gun likes. I realize there’s a huge amount of ammo for the .308 out there, unfortunately it would take a lot of searching locally to find more brands to try. I was in a hurry so didn’t do much searching.
These are the 5 comparison’s I did; 2 boxes of each brand, all in 168 gr. but I want to try different loads as I get a chance. Winchester 168gr Supreme Match Fiocchi 168gr Exacta Rifle Match Remington 168gr Premier Match Blackhills 168gr Match Norma 168gr Diamond Line I mounted a Nightforce 1-4X24 NXS scope for half the shots and I mounted an EOTech 517.A65 HOLOgraphic sight for the other half. All targets were after sighting in the scope or Holo. I ran out of targets, so was using any targets I could find. The gun was great to shoot, easy to point and with the stock adjustments it doesn't have killer recoil. To me, a lot different than my AR. The gun seems to like any 168 gr ammo you put thru it. I don't think I could afford to buy one of these new but the price was right as used and I knew the owner. Groups were shot at 100 yds and 200 yds. This was sight-in target at 100 yds  100 yds NF scope after several runs, best target.  200 yds NF scope after several runs, best target.  100 yds Eotech, best target  Big brother shooting @ 100 yds w/ NF scope:  darn, he's good!I'm not very good at the 200 yd. mark but the other guys were just coming in to their range at that distance. This was a 100 yd shot w/Eotech (but not me shooting)  This was a fun range day, can't show pictures of the range or shooters but got to shoot their toys, including HK 416's suppressed, M 16, M14 CQB, Savage 338 Lapua Mag.

Ron, from reading the above I can see that you probably get to shoot with a group of guys like I do!!!!

 I just love it when a plan comes together. The 2.5x10 is just about the same size as the 1x4. but if you already have the 1x4........... Glad you liked it.

Ah yes, the SCAR Heavy (drool...). My local shop has one just like it for a meager $3000ish.
That's a seriously cool gun!

This is a photo compare of my FN vs one of my AR's. The FN is .308, the AR is 5.56/.223. . . both have 16.5" barrels. The main difference is the FN is threaded with screw-on flash hider, the AR has pinned/welded flash hider, 14.5 " barrel+ 2" FH.
