Why are all the best rifles so expensive?
>>
good things cost a lot, who would have geussed
>>
>>33480309
Spicy Mcchickens are good and they's only $1
>>
>>33480327
damn ur right

well that defeated my argument
>>
Wasn't the 17 like $700 less 2~ years ago? But I remember the supply being so little vs demand, the price was driven up and stayed there.
>>
>>33480327
The full size Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich is vastly superior but costs 6 times as much. Paying for quality is what separates the men from the subhuman kikes.
>>
They are expensive because they can be. They dont care if you buy it or not because FN has fat military contracts all over the world for it.
>>
Honestly what did you specifically like about it that you couldn't get from an AR type rifle for much less?
Just cool goy points?
>>
>>33480345
Yes. Prices have been getting hetter though, psa had some 17s on sale for $2800 recently.
>>33480353
Whle i agree, they told me spicy nuggets have been discontinued. I dont know if its a local thing or everywhere
>>
>>33480302
>Indoor range

Why do people do this?
>>
They're $2999 at a bunch of online shops (including PSA) and on a bunch of buy-it-now Gunbroker auctions.

It's not a huge difference, but if you couldn't get below $3200, you clearly didn't look that well.
>>
>>33480345
Price went up because Californians scrambled to get
>inb4 ban
and cuck them up with bullet buttons. Never dropped because the people who have them see no reason to sell them for less when buyers are just glad not to be paying full $3500 sticker price.
>>
>>33480375

Some people live in cities, you rube.
>>
How much do you think FN pays to make threads like this?
>>
>>33480302
FN is on seven layers of globalization with the 17S.
>>
>>33480391
So drive the 20 minutes it takes to get out of the city. Shooting at 20 yards with a rifle is pointless.
>>
>>33480398
Not as much as glock
>>
>>33480391
Why would you do that to yourself? Cities are dens of degeneracy.

>>33480398
If FN was bribing people the SQUISHY SQUISHY would have been nipped inthe bud.

lel

Have you ever even been to a major city, or does your tractor not go that far?
>>
>>33480404
>20 min
>out of the city

and you're right, why do you bother shooting anything that's less than 1000 yards away
>>
>>33480375
i know it sucks ass, but in some places there arnt outdoor ranges for hours in any direction.

luckily theres two out door ranges 1 hour away from me.
>>

I've lived in London and Houston. Both big cities, takes about 20 minutes to get into the Green Belt

t. Doesn't live in London

Just don't go during rush hour.

But my point is that if you don't have access to an outdoor range, then owning a rifle is pointless and a waste of time.
>>
>>33480434
Good for you, hun. London is surrounded by a government-protected greenbelt, and Houston is basically a strip of freeway.

Lots of cities have metropolitan areas that stretch for long ways outside the city lines, and you'd have to drive for an hour or more to even find a little bit of open space. And that doesn't include getting out of the city, which can take a long time if you don't live near the edges.

When I live in Seattle, it took 45 minutes to get out of town, and longer if it was rush hour.

My best friend lives in London.
You can absolutely fuck right off.
There is nothing you can possibly say or do to make me believe such obvious, retarded bullshit.

Now dont have a girlfriend or a SCAR

>Why are all the best rifles so expensive?

Because the more something costs, the better it must be.
>>
>>33480364

The only .308 AR's in the same class as the 17s cost as much or more and are generally less available. Yeah, even less available than a fucking SCAR 17s.
>>
>>33480527
It was 700 a couple years ago, they are great rifles but not 3000 dollars worth of rifle.
>>
>>33480559
When was a scar 17 even 700??
>>
>>33480302
EuroOptic just had a FB post for FDE versions for 2899
>>
>>33480302

How is it any better than an M4?
>>
>>33480302

At least you're smart enough to actually go and shoot the damn thing before buying it.

Anyway, it's easy to find them at $2,900 online. $2,700 is optimal.

Used is cheaper, but who the hell knows what the last retard did to it and they often think it only knocks $100 off by being used.
>>
>>33480419
Live near any major city in Texas and 20 min will get you out of the city unless your trying to leave from 7-9am or 4-7pm, unless its Austin in which case it takes 45-90min to get outside austin during most of the day regardless of the hour.
>>
>>33480591
It's 7.62x51 and costs more, duh.
>>
>>33480544
so don't buy a 308 AR...just get a normal AR15???
>>
>>33480478
>Being this defeatist
Nigger I live in Downtown LA and it only takes me 40 minutes to get to an outdoor range if I leave at the right time of day.
>>
>>33480617
>post about liking .308 scar
>why not buy an ar-15
????????
>>
>>33480573
700 dollars less maybe.
>>
>>33480544
Define "same class."
I built a fantastic AR10 for about the cost of a SCAR but it is far more accurate and in a better caliber.
I feel like the SCAR is only better if you don't know how to build a nice gun.
>>

Nothing is better than .308, right? Read a book, you mong.
>>
>>33480375
Daily remember if indoor ranges don't have a high quality air conditioning, they cause cancer like no tomorrow.
>>
>>33480804
Sounds p gud.
Even better since after the .936 journal it goes to about a full inch. If I can get it that far it will feel like 5 of your dicks.
>>
>>33480853
its not an AR-10 then

or more accurately, if you say AR-10 you mean .308
>>
>>33480873
Ok then; large frame AR.
Good thing you're here.

Don't laugh at him for being a poorfag that lives in the outskirts of the city!
>>
>>33480302
Because people are willing to pay that much. Market forces bruh.

I don't think they are worth the price FN is asking, dropping it 1k is more reasonable.
>>
>>33480327

Spicy mcchickens exist?
>>
>>33480485

not him but I like to shoot my rifles and because i live in a city nothing I'll need to shoot will realistically be very far away. Also the drive to an outdoor range every other weekend or whatever is totally worth it. No reason not to own a rifle at all just because you don't have a 200 acre back yard.
>>
>>33480478
Where the fuck do you live in Seattle that it takes you 45 minutes to get out of town, are you taking a bus? Excluding rush hour you can go from The northern most part to the southern most in like 20 minutes on I5.
>>
>>33480404
It takes me at least 1.5 hours to get outside of my city, 2-3 hours if I try to leave during rush hour.

>>33480476
I own my rifle to shoot intruders not shoot at targets in some field.

They are produced in Europe and importing them is expensive af, also, demand is high, supply is low therefore high price.

Manufacturing expenses for SCAR's are probably on par with AR's.

>Lives in "Seattle"

Rush hour is from 0630 to 0900 in the morning and then again from 1530 to 1800 in the evening. God forbid it's raining or some fuckhead in an SUV tries taking control of the road and ends up crashing in the right lane, slowing traffic to a standstill.

To get from exit 175 to exit 150 (what most would consider to be out of the Seattle "area of effect") takes about 30 minutes in light traffic.

Find me an outdoor range within that area that the cops/forest rangers won't be on your ass.

Your best options for /outdoor/ ranges are the Duvall Pit (40 minutes from Shoreline) and Greenwater (1+ hr from SeaTac).

I drive this shit multiple times every week. So if you have any better outdoor ranges then by god tell me.
