Title: Scope suggestion. FN SCAR .308
Post by: jackelope on April 20, 2014, 06:19:49 PM: Looking for scope suggestion for a new SCAR .308 for some long(er) range shooting. Probably go with a Vortex but not brand name committed. Budget is sort of open ended. This is for my stepfather.
Thanks in advance. This isn't exactly my area of knowledge.

If it's too difficult for him to decide, he could always sell the gun to me at a very reasonable price so I could afford the Nightforce. :chuckle:

He's got the same rifle in 5.56 with the Trijicon Acog and a RMR on top of the Acog.
He wants to run the .308 with an actual scope for longer range shooting.

For the money, I'm very impressed with the new HS-T by Vortex.

Post by: Windwalker on May 04, 2014, 12:34:17 AM: Best to have several - ELCAN SpecterDR 1.5-6x & NF in AD-DELTA QD mount.
Depends on cash flow and what is expected of it.
Some good info here-

Post by: Clark33 on May 10, 2014, 10:27:24 AM: I am also looking for a scope for my recently purchased SCAR 17S. I have only read great reviews about Primary Arms 1-6x with ACSS reticle. Top of the line quality at a fraction of cost compared to Vortex, Luepold, and others.

Give it a look.
