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

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!!!!

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
