I own a SCAR 17S and it is a fine weapon platform. Standing up with no support and irons only, I repeatedly hit a 20" steel plate at 300yds. It has little recoil for such a big platform and is still lightweight. Maybe that's why the military ordered 100,000 units? Platoons with a SCAR 17 with a red dot type optic, then another guy with an Elcan 1.5-6x, and a third with a high power scope show the versatility of the weapon. It is the future of the military.
