Any SCAR 16S shooters out there?

[Seabee CO]

Just picked one up and love the way it handles and shoots. Not sure if I am going to put an optic/red dot on it or leave it as is. What are you using?

as much as i wanted one.. couldnt justify it after I bought a Tavor.

I was the other way around. I originally was going to get a Tavor but once I handled the SCAR that was it for me.

Of course, if you make gun purchases solely based upon rational need and justification....you are in the wrong hobby!

In your personal opinion , Do you think they are honestly worth the $2400-2600 ??







People that collect teapots ,pointless .gif's and clowns have hobbies.

That was the only thing stopping me from having one. Too pricey.

If you compare it to a Colt R6940(P) it really isn't totally out of the ballpark. I think the 6940P is the closest "apples to apples" comparison. 6940P's, when you can find them, are pretty steep.

To answer your question, yes I thought it was worth it. I have a R6920 SOCOM and R6940. I wanted a piston rifle and heard good things about the SCAR.

So far, after a few hundred rounds down range, the rifle seems to be living up to its hype. Soft shooter, noticeably more accurate than my 6940, and cleaning is a breeze. I really like the ergonomics of the rifle. I think the open sight arrangement is superior to the AR - front sight is windage/elevation zero capable leaving the rear sight windage/elevation adjustable for local conditions.

When it comes down to it, it is a matter of preference and desire.

I have one along with a bunch of AR's, is the SCAR superior to a quality AR? I don't think it is, but I do think it's a better rifle all the way around.

too damn bad though that the Scar 17 is nearly $3k.

a little more and you can have a semi 1918A3

I know...but I still want one. Anyone know what the new Colt 901 is going for?

I have this on my Scar 16. It is great.

Mark 4 CQ/T Riflescopes Mark 4 CQ/T Riflescopes

The Mark 4® 1-3x14mm CQ/T® is a revolutionary optical sight for firearms such as the AR-15 and M16, combining the strengths of a red dot sight and the flexibility of a variable power riflescope. Just as important, the reticle is always visible, with or without batteries, so you’re always prepared. The CQ/T is also becoming a fast favorite with competitive shooters who appreciate its unique close and long range capabilities.

I feel the scar is worth the money. My Tavor with an red dot came close to the price of the scar.
