She's a beaut isn't she. Figured I throw my Glock 30 .45 up there with my KA-BAR. Yes sir, 7.62x54 (.308) worth of nasty in the best SOCOM platform available. Figured since I already had an AR put together I'd grab my dream rifle. The fiancé got the AR (LRB M15). So what you see here is my combat load out. I do have a Mosin just in case I need a paddle and a handheld cannon though.

Happy doesn't begin to describe what I am.

. I'll post range results a pics soon.

Your gonna try to feed it7.62x54? :popcorn:

? I think your Moisin Nagant is going to be pissed you are giving it's food away. :hysterical:

I do belive you mean 7.62x51. It is a very nice Shootin' Iron.

Feeding that long Russian round into your SCAR will make a big kaboom. I don't want to be there when it happens.

Darn.... Typo guys, come on it would never chamber anyway. On that note, I will be picking up much ammo this weekend at the GS. .308 of course.

7.62x51 (51!)

Very nice! Congrats. How is the magazine suppy right now? Did they ever start shipping?

Nig rig. Congrats.

It's hit or miss with the magazines right now. I've got 2 on order that will be here in the next couple days. By the end of the weekend, I should have four more.

by **scrubber3** » Wed, 04 Jul 2012 10:32:24

Still haven't made it to the range.... I did manage to get my hands on 8 more magazines though.

It looks like tomorrow might be a good day for the range since it may be under 100*.

Nice evil rifle.

nice. I picked up my dream 308 recently as well. Fired 6 rounds through it on the 4th when the neighbors wouldn't worry to much about the sound of me shooting my old x-box 360 and cleaning the barrel after each round. It still needs to be scoped but just having the rifle of your dreams makes everything else seem not that pressing... once you have ammo of course.

Awesome bro, I suppose you have a thread on it so I'll go look at that. I've got several hundred rounds on its way right now. Hopefully be here by Wednesday. I'm finally going to the range this Monday or Tuesday. I'll be using the range ammo of course.

I'll throw some more pictures of my SCAR up soon.

by **scrubber3** » Sat, 07 Jul 2012 19:47:39

Okay, couldn't find the thread..l. So what is it? We need pictures! Link to a thread?

Range was today. Rifle performed flawlessly through 120 rounds. Due to the design of the carrier and piston, cleaning wasn't even really needed but I did it anyway. Especially for the barrel. Kick was just over what a AR 5.56 would give you. Since my SCAR is the heavy(7.62), it's a welcome advantage. The compensator isn't very nice to those on the sides of you. The blast actually puts my Mosin to shame. It does great with keeping the rifle down in line for the next shot. Rapid fire was as fast as I could pull the trigger. Actually so fast that the RSO yelled at me. I didn't know we couldn't shoot fast there. It could have had something to do with the compensator though. Lol

Overall I was extremely impressed with the SCAR17s and it's worth every penny. Ease of takedown, ease of barrel changing, ability to stay on target, ergonomics, sights, and power make this my favorite rifle of all time. IMHO it's the best assault rifle available today. After all, you can't argue with SOCOM.

pictures to come.....

Oh yeah, accuracy is insane. Used the same hole with multiple bullets at 50 yds even with iron sights. 5 round shot groups at .75 inches on average at 50 yds.
