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: ![]() 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.
