Default Fn scar

I know some of you like the SCAR. Here are some detail pictures of the SCAR on AR15.com. Page 1, 3, and 4 contains images.

I'm surprised nobody responded to this topic earlier. Thanks for this.

So far, I haven't seen the SCAR 16S at FFLs anywhere. I'm not sure who has them for sale, but I know they're very expensive due to the importation costs (apparently, they can't be made for civvie sales in this country) and the rising costs of AWs due to Obama's presidency. On THR, somebody linked to an auction where a SCAR 16S was going for $4,000, even though the MSRP is supposedly $2,500.

The only "experiance" I have with this gun is in Rainbow Six: Vegas, so I can't truly give my opinion on it until I hold one. Based on what I've seen I think it is ugly, but I'm sure it works fine.

I got to handle one at a special show here in Minnesota. I found it be be pretty ergonomic. I'd like one but it's def. way out of my price range, for now at least. In a way I'm still holding out for the ACR, if it ever comes out that is.

Were I to buy a rifle, I'd probably go with full stock AR type. Not picky other than that, I just like the big long rifles. In fact, M16A1 with triangular handguards are nice.

SCARs are okay, but they look bulky to me, especially when mated with their grenade launchers. Same thing with the army's new UGL.

Part of me suspects it'll go the same route as the Mark 23 and get more use in video games and movies than it will in actual military operations...
