August 31, 2019Very 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

April 17, 2014This 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
