Pickin' up what you're puttin' down - especially now that I understand the process that FN used to go through to import these rifles.

Added new pictures of the SCAR 17s.

Want to thank our very own BRAD for taking care of my previous orders (Holosun Green being the latest). Also ordered the TLR 8G from him last week Super fast shipping..

Nice, I had my SCARs out last weekend to zero them after some optics moves.

Great rifles.

Let us know how those optics handle the big heavy.

I put my Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 1-6x24 on my SCAR 17 and plan to see how it holds up, since Vortex said it "would be fine on the SCAR 17".

Did fine for the first 60 rounds, was tracking and making hits out to 350.

Nice setup!

I love my Scar 17, but don't shoot it nearly often enough.

Have you looked into gas jets for it? They tend to come overgassed from the factory and will benefit, both suppressed and unsuppressed, from a slight restriction at the gas port/jet (I forget the exact term FN uses). I haven't done mine yet, but I refer back to my first statement about not shooting it.

If you want to change gas jets I recommend you get the Parker Mountain Machine ones as they use an allen key and not the factory ones which use a flat screwdriver and is really easy to 'bugger' up the jet.

Thank you, sir.

The offset Holosun looks great on there.

I second this, I stripped the factory one getting it out and took me awhile to get that booger out. Then I saw PMM posted a video showing the best way to remove them, of course I didn't do what he suggests

That's the same scope I use on mine & I use an Adland mount. Close to 1000 rounds with no issues.
