View Full Version : I finally got my FH SCAR 17 in FDE!
I just couldn't help myself...its been on my wish list since I decided to get my first firearm for sport/hunting/defense. I finally 'pulled the trigger' and purchased an FN SCAR 17s in FDE. I know people will be of the opinion that buying something like that during this crazy run up on prices was foolish but what the hell. I had an unexpected windfall. I also got 2 additional 20 round FDE magazines thrown in.
sweet! I will have a SCAR 17 to match my 16 sometime.... but in FDE. A must is a PWS rail.

Congrats. The lack of recoil on 17 is amazing.

What's PWS rail? I was thinking my first accessory would be a foregrip and decent optics. I've decided to shelf getting optics for my new POF P415 and use the money on getting decent optics for the Scar 17...now just gotta figure out if I want something like ACOG/EoTECH with magnifier or just get scope.
I'm sitting here staring at my email waiting for confirmation that my FFL has connected with the seller so it can be shipped.

Almost makes me want to go on a pig hunt in Texas... I think I've rounded out my collection and I'm done.

Im personally not a fan of acogs, I also dont like the bulkiness of a magnifier setup. I runa 1-4 and love it but may switch to a dot sight soon.

Pics or it didn't happen..
Waiting for the rifle to be delivered. The. I gotta figure out how to post a pic. Last time I tired to post a pic of the POF P415 I couldn't figure it out.

Its a Vltor stock, much better in design then the factory one.
To post pics I just upload them to a photobucket account and the use the IMG link.

Dang. All these SCAR pictures have me jealous. That as an awesome gun
Just got confirmation that FFL info was received and the item shipped. Looking forward to shooting it but I have to go locate some .308/7.62 ammo that doesn't cost me my wife, kids and dog...
Also, if any Scar 17 owners have suggestions on optics, send it my way. That's probably my first add-on for this.

I use imgur.com, easy to upload (have the droid app too so I can upload from PC or Phone), then resize (for some reason my phone pics are MASSIVE), right click "copy image url" and paste in here! Done. Thus endeth the lesson.

This is all up to you, but my suggestion is to get yourself an Acog or a Variable that goes out to at least 6x magnification to take advantage of the platform. Something like a Swarovski Z6i or a Leupold CQBSS.

I fondled and shot one of these once. Freaking nice weapon.
Trying to buy either 16s or 17s on GB, but someone keep outbidding me. :(

There is a scar 17s on sale for a fxed price of $3300 in FDE on gunsamerica by Kones Korner

Ouch!!! The Z6i is around $2400 and the Leopold Mark 8 CQBSS is a little north of $3000. No way I can swing that right now. I took some time to do research and I think I found the right 1-6x variable powerscope right under $1k that should work. Looking like its the Leopold VX-6 multigun but I'm going to do more research into other options.
17s on the wish list for sure!!!!

Decided to go with 16s on GB. Waiting for store to ship.
I feel I may be breaking the 10th commandment, while reading this thread. Frankly, I blame it on Kwando.
