It features a free-floating, cold-hammer forged barrel that is chrome-lined and has a unique spiral fluting pattern to enhance accuracy and reduce weight.

Additionally, the rifle can be easily field-stripped and cleaned without the need for specialized tools or equipment.

Very nice purchase from Buds. The FN SCAR 17S is a great rifle that shoots very accurately while being pretty light for a 7.62mm. There are some parts I plan on swapping out down the road but overall I am very happy with my purchase of this very high end

Amazing rifle. Heavy, as expected but very reliable. Have not had any jams, misfeeds, or other issues. Consistent and definitely worth it.

This is absolutely the finest gun in my collection. Recoil is much like a 5.56. It's ridiculously accurate with iron sights, I am shopping for scope because my eyes are not great. You can not go wrong with this rifle. Worth every bit of its price!!!!

The FN SCAR 17S is the best civilian tactical rifle ever made. You can take this sweetheart to the range and shoot all day and still not have a sore shoulder. The gas piston system is designed to minimize the recoil making the rifle pleasurable to shoot f

This is one incredibly bad-a$$ gun. The 308 caliber is great for hunting big game in the fall and stopping anything else in defensive situations. The fit and finish are outstanding, everything on it fits like a glove. The stock sights are excellent for me

The SCAR 17 is fantastic. It's quite a bit lighter than my springfield socom 16 for starters and I should get so much gas in the face when shooting it with a suppressor. Accuracy is also very good. Takedown is simple and very straight forward. It handles
