Are SCAR owners the equivalent of the douche bag with a sports car who drives slow in traffic in the gun community? For all their claims of durability and reliability, you never see them actually actually push their platform the same way someone who spent less money would push theirs. Is it the equivalent to the old fat guy with a Porsche driving the speed limit who gets passed by a soccermom in a Honda Accord?

>build a gun that is cheaper to produce than M4(extruded aluminum receiver, polymers, etc

The scars decent, even though it require two extra bolts and a 20" barrel to be accurate, but way over priced. Stupid people buy them, which allows FN to keep raping people. The price should be $1500-2000.

The 2 extra bolts have zero affect on accuracy, contract requirements put those in
20" Mk20 barrel isnt more accurate than the 16" barrel on the CSR. The pencil barrels on a 17s are like 1-1.5moa, the target barrels do like .5moa
You also clearly have no understanding of how a market operates. Agency level pricing on 16's is like $999, agencies dont care about the "CDI factor". We civvies may, and so if we want one, we pay for it. But look at the high end .308 market, $3000 is normal.

He's right that they dropped the SCAR, but it was the 16, not the 17. They used their 16 money to buy more 17s.
>>
>>31455361
Other way around. they ditched the 16s for the most part because they didn't do anything that their ARs didn't already do. the 17s filled the battle rifle niche pretty well though, though there's been no real push to adopt them.

worthless, butthurt millenial thread.

Tell you what kid, go over to Snipershide and browse through the PX for a while. Those guys buy and sell scopes that cost more than a SCAR and think nothing of it.

The SCAR fills a niche that needed to be filled. It does what it was designed to do. Supply and demand coupled with inflation has its way with prices on popular items that aren't mass produced in multiple countries.

TLDR, it's an excellent rifle and worth every penny, and anyone who has actually put a few mags through one will not be here posting about how "it's a stupid gun and whoever owns one is stupid too" because even they will realize that it is a quality platform and handles unlike any other rifle in its class.

Save your pennies and go buy one, you'll enjoy it. In a few years even $4k is not going to seem like much because inflation. I bought mine for $2200 several years ago.

These chapped ass threads are just pathetic. It is sour grapes all the way.

You don't see many torture tests with the scar because they break when you drop them.

For example when the Peruvian military did their drop tests with a loaded mag and the lower cracked open.

Doesn't necessarily make it a bad rifle but they aren't any better than much cheaper alternatives and that in itself is a shitstorm for a lot of FN owners.

Also FN went full retard making the bolt catch area so different to an AR. Makes gen 2 pmags not compatible. And not making the scar h compatible with sr25 mags is also full retard.

you realize that FN produces their guns in waves, right? When the next wave of 17s' comes, your rifle will be worth $2400 or less. Your absolute best hope is selling right now to some senseless idiot that will buy it for $3k not realizing the next wave of PS90's and 17s' is four or five months away

Why do you care?
By way of your argument, anyone who owns an "assault rifle" is a douchebag of the gun community. You can't CC, they're not particularly utilitarian and few people will ever run them as hard as they could much less actually need one. I don't think they're nearly as fun or challenging to shoot as handguns and there aren't as many places to shoot them.
So, by your argument, anyone who owns any "assault rifle" is just a douchebag of the gun community.

How much of an aftermarket does one really need? I wouldn't buy a SCAR for much besides collection purposes if I had the money but a light, scope and a custom barrel if people are so inclined are all that are relevant from a practical standpoint.

When you start owning guns that cost as much as used cars you realise you get a free pass at not caring about other peoples opinions. I wanted comfort and 5.56 so I went with the hebrew hammer would I sell it ? No... Would I trade it and give some cash for a SCAR 17 with some upgrades under the hood if it was FDE? Damn straight. Both the SCAR and my tavor after upgrades costs about the same and does nearly the same thing except one fires smaller rd and smaller size . so what I tuned it to fit my needs not the needs of others. Poorfag millennials who do not understand how the world works and brainwashed have no place on /k/. It takes sacrifice to get what you want in life. People who have nicer things 90% sacrificed alot of time and effort to get those items. SCARS give you SCARS for life on a good way. Just find it funny you can use hiking boots to keep them propped up on anything LOL

Clearly .308 is not the round for you. Non shit ammo is 50 cents plus a round. 2 grand is nothing when you're actually shooting a few thousand rounds a year. Sorry you had to scrape pennies together to buy your used gun and can't afford to actually shoot it.

I was reading a thread on socnet how eastcoast was preferring the HK and westcoast liked FNH. Now they could each be in hivemind mode, but not everyone that shoots them likes them. I have a 17s and enjoy it for what it is, but I can understand people shooting them and preferring to just go back to their ar15s. to each their own

Militaries go for the stuff like the HK416 variants because they're cheaper in small orders. LEOs in America were paying well under $1500 for a hk416 while the scar was $100s more to them.
It's a bit ridiculous what FN charges for the scar considering what you get. Doesn't matter if you're a civilian or looking to buy one as LEO/Mil.

You can argue a bunch of details about how the can't use some mags and other weird quirks like the rails on the scar but really other companies just make rifles as good and better in many opinion for cheaper.


Like the other anon said, nobody would give a fuck about the scar if it weren't for games like CoD.

The only reason I don't get a SCAR is because they're basically only ever available in FDE and that's yucky. Moreover, despite being a millionaire who can afford anything I want, I can't mentally justify spending $5000 on a next gen M4.

No one is arguing if its better, but if the improvements are worth 3x the cost for an item whose main advantage is that it cost less to make than a AR

Not exactly.

"SCAR-H" is a general designation applicable to any 7.62x51mm sized receiver SCAR.

SCAR 17 and 17S are designations relegated to the US market for LE and commercial sales respectively.

Mk 17 is a US Navy designation for their rifles explicitly.

So in other words, every 7.62mm SCAR is a "SCAR-Heavy" but not every SCAR 17 is a Mk 17.

Other than reliability and accuracy where both come neck in neck, really what the SCAR has going for it is ergonomics and reduced weight. As far as the individual civilian goes, the PTR is the better choice. But for military purposes, there has to be a better explanation why the 416 is being chosen by just about every western european nation over the SCAR other than HK conspiracy theories

Given the same ammo, optics and shooter then yes. If you really want to be anal about it, the better harmonics and longer barrel would actually tilt accuracy towards the PTR

The SCAR isn't anything revolutionary in the firearms world, just an new twist on the old FAL concept. Unless the advancement is caseless ammo, soldier carried rail guns or lasers, gun makers are putting old ass calibers in lighter frames

Shooting 1 MOA can be done with a stock M1A scout, it comes down to the right ammo, shooter and optics at that point. 2-4 MOA out of the PTR is literally steel cased wolf at that point, if you compare that to something a tad more pricey like core lokt then the groups do close up

But of course things like shooting steel and doing ammo comparisons is something that SCAR owners would actually have to take it out of the safe to try out for themselves over reading the broucher and taking FN's word for it

>You said earlier that a SCAR 7.62 is an H, is it still an H? Its no longer in 7.62

You are very dense, illiterate as well, and should be thanking me for even taking the time to explain this to you.

First let's look at what I ACTUALLY said in >>31459026
>"SCAR-H" is a general designation applicable to any 7.62x51mm sized receiver SCAR.
>7.62x51mm sized receiver SCAR
>SIZED RECEIVER

Caliber converting a SCAR-H to 5.56mm does not make it a SCAR-L because it is still a 7.62mm sized SCAR receiver.

The same applies to 7.62x39, 6.5cr or any other caliber conversion based on the SCAR-H receiver. They are all still SCAR-Heavy's.

>So where does it state that a 17s is also an H

Right on the side of pic related. It's a semi auto 7.62x51mm SCAR sold in Europe and designated simply as the SCAR-H. As I sated in my previous post, which you either ignored or failed to comprehend, "SCAR 17S" is a designation coined by FNH USA and used only for the US commercial market. "SCAR 17" is (now) FN America's designation for the full auto LE version.

Both rifles are still SCAR-H's. Mk 17's are SCAR-H's. Before there was a Mk 17 or 17S there were only SCAR-H's. It is the universal designation for 7.62mm pattern SCAR's.

What is so hard to understand about this simple concept?
>>
>>31459594
The sour grapes is so strong its almost a physically detectable thing.
>>
>>31459626
So that one is a SCAR H
And not a 17 or mk17?

How is it different from a 17?

Is that a meaningful difference?
>>
>>31459653

My first post answered all of those questions >>31459026
>>
>>31459627

At this point I don't even think you own a SCAR and are just posting pictures you pulled off Ar15.com and passing it as your own. Anyone who reads my posts can tell that I actually own and shoot the rifles I claim to own and shoot, all you can do is regurgitate stuff you read off wikipedia and the FN website with no real sense of real world experience to back it up.

So yes, I have experience with various battle rifles unlike any of you who couldn't even compare the difference in performance between various types of 7.62x51 or .308 in the imaginary SCAR's that only exist on your Battlefield 4 account

most people who own SCARs here probably have disposable income far in excess of your total take home pay.

Don't judge us with the same yardstick you judge yourself. We play in different leagues.

The gist of the matter is that you are unhappy with your financial situation, and your defense mechanism is to try to justify your fiscal constraints with the red herring of "performance per dollar".

Go be poor elsewhere.

>>31460029
Battlefield Vegas said in 200,000 rounds, the barrel and hammer have been changed out. Thats it.

Most people who own SCAR's do it because they think owning the rifle from Call of Duty makes up for their lack of social standing and other masculine traits

that you know of. I haven't shot a PTR, but I'll tell you this: my 17S with federal GMM group at 1-1.5 MOA at 200 meters CONSISTENTLY. You can cherry pick your PTR results all you want, but if you can't provide a 5x5 shot string, you need to STFU.

>Durability- Has not passed the test that is service in regular military units of both volunteer and conscript forces
200,000 rounds at a rental range, but sure. whatever.

I'm willing to pay a 1000 dollar premium for the weight savings along, since I shoot in the mountains. Obviously I can't speak for your criteria or financial situation, but you DEFINITELY have no authority to speak on the cost viability for this weapon for anyone else. If you can't afford it, go buy something else. If you can, that's your choice.

Now go to bed, special ed for you starts early in the morning.
>>
>>31460282

Of course there is also

Ergonomics
Ease of maintenance
Cost of maintenance
Service life
Cost of production
Logistics and materials needed for production and distribution
Rifle cost over performance delivered

I know that alot of those things seem boring as fuck but they do come into play when it comes to purchasing choice. No one wants a Bushmaster ACR because everyone knows they will never get the parts to fix it if and when something wears out or plain bad luck causes any sort of damage
>>
>>31460291
Youve missed it.
Why I bought the SCAR over something more modestly priced had nothing to with an expression of wealth.

Im going to assume your looking at a price:performance factor here (and somehow skipped .308 AR). In something as small as a few thousand dollars, I personally dont really put cost into consideration. Especially since I will be shooting ten of thousands of dollars of ammunition through it, which you dont seem to include in my assessment of your reasoning for supporting the PTR.

Sounds about what I get with Remington core lokt which is a hunting ammo just hangs around the same price range

But really, if you were a serious shooter, you would have been able to tell me how different steel case Russian ammo stacks up against each other and how those stack up against various brands that produce some variation of M80 and how those stack up against each other. You would also be able to tell me which ammo just doesn't really work with your rifle at all.

All these things I can tell you in regards to the M1A scout and PTR. But shooting stories are like fishing stories. Everyone will start claiming sub MOA at 500 meters if you let them but no one talks about thing such as under powered Aguilla, Fiocchi's bad primers (in different states on opposite ends of the country) or Winchester white box firing nothing that resembles a group at all

Not the other anon but where did that person mention they were shooting FGMM?

I bet its more along the lines of PPU white box / MKE / CBC stuff which outside of PPU is fine for plinking or general range fuckery. PPU whitebox has been the most consistent 308 ammo when spending under 60cpr I've come across.

Also if you shoot large numbers of match, you tend to find it cheaper. FGMM can be had for 22 a box, whether buying it in 200 round lots or by half a case. If you look harder you can find it for 19 a box.

Genuinely curious about these higher end ar's, what makes them better than any other at of decent quality?
>>
>>31462531
honestly, pedigree, fit/finish, and customer service.

Let's be honest here. In the grand scheme of things, all mil spec ARs are the same, so they're commodity items. In this market environment, you have to distinguish yourself through means the consumer can appreciate. Very fuel people can tell between a 1.5 MOA barrel and a 0.5 MOA barrel because there are so many other random factors are play. Very few will shoot enough rounds to gauge the rifle's life expectancy.

So you differentiate by offering prompt customer service and impeccable finish.

This is only my opinion, of course.
