Sad thing is I only live 40 km away from the the FN Herstal company here in Belgium who is building this weapon and can NOT buy it. FUCK
You're more than welcome in America!
you might be able to get it in Canada too but probably a bit harder to get
+Jay Kae no don't go to to Canada gun laws suck trust me I live here
Bullshit, I live in Belgium and I can buy it so you can too. Just join a shooting club. Our laws are in some ways even better then the us because they don't care about sbr's over here
+nathan655555 We can own sbrs with some paper work. Joining a club and having to prove you have a purpose for the rifle is more of an inconvenience than a few months wait :/
I found this channel not that long ago and I was wondering where the older guy with the beard was in the newer videos. Then I saw the video of what happened. Sad and unfortunate that he's gone. Really enjoyed learning from him. RIP.
ForzaClutch
Whom do you talking about dude , who died , which bearded guy , please do tell us man ?????!!!
How did he die?
@@ragegoat4342 death
@@ragegoat4342 Heart attack...
Yup, I'm getting one.
Can't wait to see your review too! Hope you get an FDE since they shoot more accurately! ; )
+12GaugePadawan the FDE only shoots more accurate if you put the right CLIPAZINES in it, and have all the super tactical gloves that make you trigger finger extra steady.. it's like a robots hand when you put them gloves on
+Mrgunsngear Channel ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED
+popacap21 Getting one as in One All Seeing Eye...One World Order or New World Order...This is the rifle the black helicopter crew operate..Don your protective tinfoil beanie!
The one upgrade I highly recommend is the Geissele Super SCAR 2 Stage Trigger. Yes it cost $325 but let me tell you it's worth every penny and the stock trigger is trash. There was not much that I got upgraded because it's a great rifle. Only replaced the trigger, grip and muzzle brake so it can shoot suppressed.
"get. Over it!" I fully agree. Worrying about such small things as minor no account injuries while in a life death situation is silly! I am enjoying learning more about this rifle!
There is a FN SCAR 17S shaped hole in my FN SCAR 17S shaped heart ;_;
+Snake_XIX so you have no heart, or is the hole smaller than the whole?
+Star Kicker You ruined it.
Soon there will be a hole in your wallet if you fill that hole in your heart.
7Revelations7 Hahaha, well said
"So let's just empty out this mag."
*empties mag then loads another*
I have an angled charging handle on my SCAR 17, I never wear gloves and have never scraped my knuckles on my Tijicon 648 ACOG scope mount. I have the SilencerCo brake on it for my Omega, that runs flawlessly as I treat mine as a DMR; I don't consider myself a sniper even though sometimes that Giessele trigger makes me feel more accurate than I typically am. I like the accuracy and the durability of FN's weapons shooting ball ammo, or even cheaper stuff if I feel crazy.
.308 all day 👌🏽
Great video as usual, really loving the camera split of the rifle firing and down range target at the same time. Keep up the great works guys!
Yup! I got the 16S first in 2010 and love it and got the 17S in 2011 and love it!
Mine's in FDE, with the Leupold scope and larue tactical scope mount. An angled charging handle made by stryker enterprises and a magpul MIAD grip, Geissele trigger results in a truly excellent firearm.
goretro77 how much invested?
I've been researching this rifle for some time now, needless to say I fell in love with the looks and features and the fact it can be a workhorse. Wanted to make sure I'm not missing any info before I buy one, I think I'm pretty settled into what I'm going to get and also love the simple mods you put on it and I will likely fall into line with that trigger wise etc.
Good review thanks! I love watching reviews no matter what firearm it is. The longer the better, the more info the better. I just have so much fun learning about guns! 👍🏻
"Ow my knuckles!"
"Get over it."
I love it! Lmao 🤣
In 2009, after the administration was changed, they passed the 2010 budget that cut SOCOM's funds by 15% across the board and ordered them to stand up an extra battalion at every group. M4s and M16s are "free" in that their cost falls under the parent service branches and doesn't affect SOCOM. Even if the SCAR were a super rifle that solidly outperformed any AR for half the cost it would still have suffered cutbacks unless you could offer it to SOCOM for free in the face of that budget cut.
Of course SOCOM didn't say that to the bloggers. They replaced the extra personnel requirement and a 15% budget cut with "limited funds" so people would jump to the conclusion that the rifle was at fault. Like telling your friend that a new car is too expensive for what it does and that you're going to keep your old one... without telling them that you just lost your job and had to pay for your kid's braces.
Woah getting into nutnfancy territory here with the video length.
+HoneyBadger367 Yep, and thats not really a good thing imo...
+HoneyBadger367 Disagree.
As one of MANY viewers that simply listens to the review while doing something else...10% productive 90% just looking at whatever hes reviewing on Slick Guns and erroneously telling myself I can drop $3000 on it. I like a 20-45 min review length.
*30 min seems perfect for anything NON-AR related*. Mainly because we know nothing(or very little) about the item in question...Compact 9mms, unusual 223s, 308 offerings, etc etc etc All deserve comprehensive videos.
Unlike ARs, which other than the latest and greatest triangle grips and 20 foot long keymod rails are exactly what we've been seeing for the last 10 years(those reviews should be 15 min).
+Raul Danger Officers tend to have a lot to say, and Nutnfancy was a Lieutenant Colonel in the USAF. Like MAC, Sootch, Hickok45, Iraqveteran888, etc., he's an important part of the gun community and an ardent supporter of the 2nd Amendment. Whether you like his style or not, have some class and leave his wife and family out of it.
*****
" Maybe tell Nutnfancy to have some class and not show up at SHOT Show stinking of booze because he fell off the wagon when his son came out of the closet."
*Your hate of long reviews does not validate attempts to spew senseless and tasteless vitriol at a person you only know through camping videos, and slathering Coyote Duracoat on ARs* .
*As you know, 1st amendment rights do not extend to baseless libel* .
***** Surely "credible sources" would post a video on this. I mean, the YT gun community IS small and always looking to discredit the big guys(EX- right now)...Isn't it?
All I could find was 2 posts on adjacent internet forums...Posts made by the same author with the SAME name and profile picture on both forums...Posts that contain the same (probably fabricated) information.. Posts YOU probably made.
I guess I am partial to anything FN because I was trained on the FN FAL 7.62 in the South African Military back in the day when we where still kicking Terrorist Butt...The SCAR 17S is no exception, fantastic platform, Thanks Eric and Chad for a great video and your expert review as always!
Thank you for the review, very well done and it's nice to see DMR like ranges demonstrated.
My scope is out for delivery now! I can't wait to take my 17 out to 800m this weekend!!!
I have such a hard-on for the scar 17, as soon as I'm out of school with a good job I will own one.
ROFL!!! "If you're worried about cracking your little baby knuckle on the charging handle..." I have watched this video countless times and that never gets old. I just got my Scar 17S a week ago and man I can't wait to shoot with my college buddies.
It’s actually the Jack of all trades rifle. It does everything any other rifle can do extremely well. It will always have a place in my safe.
Great review glad I found it. I was looking to buy one but ended up with an Armalite AR10 DSR. I watched video again and still had the bug for Scar 17 so I bought one. Don't have it yet but should arrive in a couple of days.
How's the Armalite?
It's so beautiful it almost brings a tear to my eye :)
Wyn Williams Lol same
This is one of your best videos. TY for your review and all you've contributed to the community.
Just bought mine today! thank you so much for the in depth video and excellent filming. No optics yet, but i'm still recovering from that damn sticker price.
Can you do a video on the HK Mr762 at some point?
+Hagen Yep, would like to see a Video aswell.
Maybe even other Versions of the 417, i dont know whats available in the USA.
I saw some people recreating the G28, maybe you could do something like that.
that is my choice for a .308 battle rifle (subject to change) I really like FN products. ..
when i was young all my favorite guns were by fn i never realized it
@@attiacusengle8923 If I could choose a fn rifle I would choose the fn 30/1 ABL 308
This is one of the best scar reviews I've watched! Thanks guys!
Good stuff, Eric and Chad. You nailed it with 'how much more accurate does it need to be?'
Can you review the hk416 , I wanna know why it's so expensive like the scar 17
Eric, is the SCAR 17S still your go-to battle rifle?
I was just going to comment this.
Maniac742
horse crap
95% of Americans hate FN Herstal
Hans Srouf like who? Fn m249 saw,fn scar 16 or 17,fn .45 tactical etc etc anyone I know that has used them and really run them through their paces has had good things to say and most of them used em in war and nothing but good to say,I really can't think of 1 complaint other than price or stupid things like handles that people's fragile wittle hands can't handle
Hans Srouf 95% of Americans probably probably never held one
Hi Eric. Superb review. I've had my 17 for 5 1/2 years. 5500 rds through it. Great rifle. Also have a SCAR16-11,000rds through it. PhenomenalThree items come to mind. Concerning the charging handle, it's that way purposely to eject a bad/dirty round or to be used as a forward assist. To avert the knuckle problem with your LaRue mount, reverse it. Have the controls on the ejection port side in your case. I have the exact same mount with a Swarovski Z5. By reversing it, no more potential knuckle problems.Next, regarding the trigger-cut a coil off the hammer spring and spray some white lithium lubricant all over the contact and moving parts. This is how mine came from the factory. Big difference. It'll bed over time.Finally, we find supressors will change the impact and dispersion factors in all rifles and pistols. It's just physics. Your take on it is 100% correct.Thanks again for an excellent review of this great rifle. The 16 is no slouch either especially using Mk262 ammo. Bridges the gap a bit if you know what I mean.Faulkner Out.
I've had one of these sitting in layaway for about a month in FDE. Ready to get it out and put some rounds down range! Great review guys!
Holy shit 31 mins, an entire lecture
or half a nutnfancy review
+zzohmzz LOL nice one
+zzohmzz true story bro...
+Persona Suspecta Yepp, I was thinking something similar, but then it didn't feel like a half hour, because it was interesting.
pssh
he could have stretched it out for an hour
I haven't seen you with the legendary Steyr AUG
+Mike Foxtrot I couldve sworn hes done a video on one?
+sergeantbigmac I think he done on the MSAR clone but not the real Steyr AUG
Damn, I NEED this rifle.
Also, good video! I personally enjoy the longer review videos, keep up the good work IV8888!
I've just started looking at this rifle more often a few weeks ago, and now even you have a video about it! Cool :D
The problem with the gun is you cant find one! No one sells them unless you want to pay a thousand more then list...
Mike Sha ...yep. Posted above (April 2020). TRY $3,500...in Black, not FDE. Decisions, decisions.. Is it REALLY an ‘investment’ I wonder..?
It's worse now.
Couldn't you reverse the scope mount to get the QD locks out of the way of the charging handle? I thought they were supposed to be on the right side in the first place so they can't (or have less of a chance) snag on your clothing.
+YoderTexas GG&G angled charging handle cures that problem
+YoderTexas Reversed mine with my Vortex. No issues.
+YoderTexas And how exactly would you propose that on a cantilevered mount like the one in the video? Larue is a left side only mount for magnified/cantilever mounts. Second, those release levers on the Larue mounts close in quite close to the rail. You would have to try very hard to get one of those to snag on your clothing.
American Defense MFG (ADM) makes a SCAR specific scope mount ( Search = ADM SCAR Scope Mount ).
No eye relief, reversible and comes in black and FDE. Can be found for < $200 online.
Aaron Orr
It's very simple. You release the clamping levers and put the front end where the back end was.Then flip the scope end for end. He has a lot of free real estate on that rail so he can move it to wherever it needs to be. A gun only "needs" a cantilevered mount when you run out of rail.
Thanks, E, some great info and I will put to good use in my purchase. Oh, thanks for the 5 weapon review. I will have to leave one out but haven't made up my mind yet.
Just yesterday I was looking for a good informative video about the 17S. The gun gods have answered my calls.
So Fucking Expensive...
The biggest drawback of the Scar.
+7Revelations7 You get what you pay for.
***** While people have shown that an AR-10 or M1A is a better choice for a 308 BR, They all mentioned that there really is no difference in the platforms. other than the SCAR H being more reliable.
I think some of these companies price these gun high to keep them out of the hands of "bad guys" . Some kind of bs gun control.
***** From some of the reviews I read comparing the SCAR to an AR-10, they mentioned the AR-10 jammed once or twice and but the SCAR never did.
+7Revelations7 If you think the Scar 17 is expensive then don't even dare look at the HK equivalent.
360p club lol
Picked up a scar 17 because of your review!! Rock on
There simply has to be profit made in order to be able to produce these really good items we buy. Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal didn't get where they are today buy selling low cost firearms,...nor did any other of the great manufacturers that we like to patronize.
I read a little sign once that went something like this, " If you want good clean , well baled hay, then you have to pay the price, but if you want the grass that's already been through the cow, well folks, that comes a little cheaper" !!!
Eric & Chad, I liked this video a lot, thanks for this one.
I just dropped 4.5k on one.
Was it worth it? Im thinking about it.
***** Definitely well worth it, very fun to shoot.
+Vagabond X Ok, nice.
Where the hell are yall buying these things from? I got mine for 3.1k
orbas88 I got mine from a local guy.
sigh... came too early and now I'm stuck with 360p
360p is ok
I wouldn't complain lol I have been sitting here for 5 minutes and I'm still buffering.
Screw you guys! Buffered 144p for half an hour!
+Flag Route Damn, I came too early and now you're alive.
+Flag Route Would You Please Give My Small RUclips Channel a Subscribe
Eric you have a great channel on here possibly one of my favorite gun channels.infos always there video quality is great keep up the videos 👍
Man I love that angle where you can see the Vapor trails to 440.... EXCELLENT FOOTAGE!!!!
Getting real sick, and real suspicious seeing this ZQI crap everywhere. I personally, which is my own opinion, and do not believe anyone else should feel this way to be clear......won't by anything turkish after seeing what they do overseas. I spent 2 years in Greece, and most of the immigrant issues over there are turkey's fault.
Hear, hear!
They might be jerks but damn it's a cheap good ammo.
How was Greece's immigrant problem Turkey's fault?
Well I have lived for 15 years in both countries and I think they are equally full of shit not to mention the compounding effect of the Ottoman Empire being dissected by the colonial powers but hey historical heritage and legacy be dammed I mean your opinion passed of as fact is what the internet is all about
This rifle is way to expensive , its all greed!
Ned NL it’s only 2800-3300 not everybody works at Taco Bell
It’s 2,600 to 2,700 where I’m at in Oregon
Very cool review and camera work. You can actually see the vapor trail of the bullet on the 440 yard range. That angle is awesome!
Looks, sounds, and is awesome! Thanks for the video!
Great camera work on the 440 shots love being able to follow the vapor trail
Great review and also one of the better examples of "vapor trail" shot placement
Thanks for the review. I really enjoyed it.
I love tactical Tailor! I live about 2 miles from their factory store and about 5 miles from their production warehouse. I'm glad to see some representation from outside of WA State! This totally made the video for me!
Unfortunately the guy who started Tactical Tailor passed away a few years back in a motor vehicle accident. You reference guy a lot, but it's many GUYS at tactical tailor.
Thank you Eric and crew
Pretty cool view point with the camera looking down range. Wicked to see the bullet zip out there. Best review of the SCAR on youtube. Thanks for putting this together. Maybe compliment this video with the review of the FNH FNX-45 Tac. Pistol??
Nice review and detailed description. I want one as soon as I move out of Kalifornia
Nice review video. I purchased a SCAR 17s a few months ago. Still configuring my own. Price tag is high, but gun is great. My brother, who has zero rifle experience, put his 3rd and beyond shot on target. Would love to show off my own build soon. Great video.
thank you for this video. very comprehensive and informative video. you do great work... keep it up.
I loved it so much that I bought 2. One in black and the other in FDE.
Thank you for the review, bought a black one in December. Waiting for my free geissele trigger to arrive!
Eric this was an awesome video man you were Spot on when you pointed out, What is it used for! Awesome! Optics, Ammunition Mission. Well said man!
I got me one of these last year, absolutely love it!!
Very informative. Thank you for your service!
I just bought one! I am so stoked!
This is a proper REview. You can't just take a rifle, run a couple hundred rounds through it in an afternoon, and call it a day. Kudos to you for actually owning and using it for an extended period of time before you decided to form an opinion on it and broadcast said opinion to the world.
@Iraqveteran8888
I recent ordered my SCAR17S FDE; I have looked at the tactical taylor site, and am having a hard time locating the magazine pouch that you feature in this video. Great review, and helped myself reaffirm the purchase.
great job! very informative...best reviews on you tube! I'd love to see a ppsh review next time if u have one in ur collection
Excellent video Eric and Chad...thanks
Great points about this rifle!
Thank you for a informative video, I have the 17S now for about 2 years. I have replaced the trigger as you did with the same brand, changed the grip, and put Glass on top Vortex 5x20x50. My favorite rifle, no regrets on the spending and I'm not rolling in the money either. I have a saying, "Do it right the first time and you won't have to upgrade or trade later costing more money". I also did the IWI TAVOR 5.56, another fantastic rifle. The silencer is also AAC and fits both rifles, so now covered both favorite calibers with top line equipment and very happy! I noticed in your video you felt the same way I do, that made me even more sure I did right...Thanks!
I have it in FDE also with the super scar trigger and hogue grip. Need a new optic though. I used to run the Eotech before it stop working. The good news was the model I had was defective. I soon found out that every Eotech was being sued because that model was defective across the board so I get a full refund 2 years later. Just have to wait on my check in the mail. I will check out the Vortex and will also look at some leupolds.
Thank you for putting down the guys who complain about the charging handle. So many successful and legendary guns, most notably the AK, have a reciprocating charging handle.
Eric were you reading my mind when I had a dream about this gun? Great video
Thanks for the review
That shooting footage at about 26 mins is crazy. You can see the disruption of air by the bullet as it's heading towards the target.
Excellent review
I put a Geissele super scar trigger with a ACOG 6x48 scope and the GG&G angled charging handle supported by an Atlas bipod and a S.O.E. sling...Favorite rifle by far..
Still love the Scar? Pulled mine out the safe for the first time in over a year and remembered why I love this gun…. Also gone up in price since I bought it. Not a bad investment ✊
This is a fabulous rifle. Thanks for your review and your love of it. The 16S will complete your life - it makes me want to shoot it. I have no choice in the matter!
awesome 17 heavy -- I would love to see you guys run tracer ammo on these type reviews - and some slow motion is always cool..
Just got a new 17 FDE havent shot it yet but i love it so far. Top notch quality.
This gun shoots like a dream. The SCAR 17s is absolutely worth the price, and from my limited time on the range with one I'd want to invest in one. Unbelievably light and very little recoil, and a hell of a lot of fun.
Love the videos. It would be nice to see an LMT MWS review and/or Larue PredatOBR. Or any other long range semi-auto.
definitely an excellent video on the scar
Just got one and I love it 😁 also love your reviews 👍
Yup.
Definitely in the "WANT!" wishlist..
Bout time you review this bad boy, you stated a while back you review the 17s.
miss seeing Barry on here, use to run into all the time over at the Model T bar in Atlanta. saw him there every week end. what a gentle bear.
Excellent plinking!
so cool to see that round fly through the air. I guess the sun was shining just right
Had 2 Scar 17’s first one was black and I sold it. Wished I hadn’t for a long time and finally I could afford another so I got the one I originally wanted the FDE. Love these rifles. I also just purchased a 16s sadly they stopped making them.
Oh, it makes such a wonderful sound.
Excellent. Great video.
Just got mine in black love it so far.
Have a family member whose unit was issued the scar 17 when deployed in Afghanistan - very few lasted the duration of the deployment. They eat optics and crack stock base plates - high round counts suppressed.
I love the continuous videos uploaded with this masterpiece of a rifle. Keep em coming IV888!
Got mine in FDE this week!!!
Mine will be in tuesday... Already bought a Trijicon ACOG 3.5x35 Scope for it too.... cant wait!!!
