Scar 17

[ncrinc12]

He started out with 168grn match ammo (I think it was FGMM, but not 100% sure) and had issues stabilizing it around the 800yd mark.....it shot fine up until then. Much past 800yds it was all over the place.

I floated him some M118LR (that's a 175grn load) and it straightened right up. No issues hitting the steel between 800-1,000yds.

This is not a SCAR-specific issue. I've seen it in numerous rifles over the years. Folks ask me if they will be able to reach 1,000yds with 168grn match and I just shrug and say, "Maybe". Never know until you try it.

I've run 168's to 1,000yds+ more than once, but in some rifles it ain't gonna work. 175's, on the other hand, always work.

Thanks for the info on the ammo issues.

What BNB said and CherokeeGun&Pawn does free transfers.

When I bought mine, Cherokee was running the deal on them, on both the 16 & 17 same price

That was not the in the plan the day I walked in there, but we have all heard "you need this". #1 line in all gun shops, but the guys there are a great bunch of people and their prices are about as good as anywhere most of the time

Probably going with a 17s. Just waiting for the right deal on gunbroker since people here seem to think they are worth significantly more than retail. Thanks guys!

17s is the way to go; they figured out how to make'em kick like a 223
