Just Another "I wanna show off my new SCAR" Post

Picked up my new 17s last week and finally had a chance to shoot it today. I was amazed at how nice it shoots. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic

How do you like that ACOG on there? That's a 3.5 right?

-TH

[15ICAM]

Yup, its a 3.5x

I really like it, much better IMO over the 4x32 ACOGs for the more generous eye relief especially on a 308. and your only sacrificing .5x magnification which is negligable

I find it about perfect for my needs as a battlerifle set-up, The Dr Optic on top isn't really necessary but it is slightly faster up close and I am not that good using the Bidon Aiming Concept for up close so I kept it on there

What kind of ammo did you shoot and how did you like it? Awesome setup btw!

Nice setup

Looks great. Crazy how different the shades are in the sunlight.

I shot 3 types of ammo thru it today, most was Radway Green Surplus, (about 150rnds), some Federal XM80 and I threw 10 rounds of FGMM 168s thru it to see what accuracy I could get,

After I got it zero'd I only shot a few strings for groups (5rds) at 100yds and surprisingly the XM80 performed the best with a approx 1.5" group with 3 rnds in one hole. The RG also performed decently but I was surprised, the FGMM 168 SMK was all over the place.

I wasn't really concentrating and am still getting used to the rifle so I think a better shooter would cut my groups in half.

After I did this, the fun started as I set up a few targets at 50 yds and engaged as rapidly as I could. I can't believe how smooth this rifle handles for a 308. Even with removing the PWS brake and putting the AAC FH on, the recoil impulse is straight back like a gentle shove with very little muzzle rise

Thanks for all the compliments guys

[CountryBoy]

wait till you put a can on it. Then the recoil is like a kitten

[15ICAM]

Hopefully AAC will eventually offer the SCAR can to the public

How'd the Radway Green do compared to the XM80? I'm currently using XM80C as my go-to round, but I found a place that sells Radway Green on links for a way better price. Had mixed results with 5.56 RG, though so I'm a bit leery.
