    Looking to join the club

    I am about to buy a SCAR 17s (due at my dealer Wednesday) and have a few question.

    1) What kind of accuracy can I expect shooting good ammo? 1moa? 1/2moa? less? more?

    2) I been looking for mags. Is there any news on when or if mags are going to become radially available.

    3) What kind/brand weight/gr do these guns like/shoot best?

    I have several AR-15's but now I'm looking for something with a little more "umph" that can reach out there and still be effective. 300m+

    Sorry for all the newb questions. Would just like to know a little more what I'm getting myself into before I make the plunge from AR's to SCAR's

    This is the best I have seen yet!

    Welcome, you will not regret it!

    Of course I am compensating for something.... If I could kill something at 300 meters with my c*ck I would not need a gun!

    That is impressive. I was hoping for results like that. I'm planning to put a scope on it 10 to 14 max power.

    Any suggestions on other mods I may want to do. Like I was looking at the extended rail.
