I will say comparing a m1a to a scar is not a fair comparison, the scar is hands down the better weapon and you pay for it If not look at the pws mk216, still fairly lightweight, long stroke piston, 1moa or better with the right ammo, and takes pmags. In the end if you're looking for an oldschool battle rifle that your just going to use iron sights can't go wrong with an m1a, if you want an older battle rifle that is a little more optic friendly I'd go FAL personally.Īs for the scar if you can afford it go for it, great rifle. Then he pulled out his pws mk216 and it was game over, loved it so much went out and bought one.
#Scar 17 vs lrb m14 upgrade#
Was going to buy a scar and had a friend who let me try his at the range and it was a good gun but at the time he only had one magazine because he couldn't find any more which was an issue for me, also the stock trigger is pretty bad and geissele triggers are a 400 upgrade on a 2800 rifle bringing it to 3200. I had an m1a, was a good gun, great iron sights however, not really optic friendly so I sold it. Very little time needs to be spent to figure out who is who around here. Listen there hotshot, not everyone here is an internet arm-chair hero setting in their moms basement making up shit just for something to do and going back changing your comments doesn't cut it either. PM your info and I will send you the $1800 first thing tomorrow morning. Scar 17s of your hand, I will even give you $1800 for it That being said I'm getting a billet scar lower, Geissele trigger, vltor buttstock, pws rail extension for the scar to test and see if I can change my mind I like it way more then a out of the box scar.

I have a m1a in a sage, I would happily carry it as a battle rifle. It needs a lot in my opinion to be worthy of carry. The scar is not where it needs to be, not worth the money at this point.

The only complaints I have about the SCAR 17S are that the sling mounts bump my nose when I fire (I shoot NTCH on an AR), the reciprocating charging handle (can get over this), and the mags are expensive (someone made a lower that can accept Pmags). I sold it off to fund my LMT MWS which is more of a pseudo-precision rig.
#Scar 17 vs lrb m14 mods#
After all these mods on an M14, it'd weigh so much you couldn't use it as a battle rifle. Comb height was also a huge issue with the M14, which would have to be fixed with a cheek riser or a chassis system. I tried modernizing my M14 with a SEI scope mount and Eotech, but it just didn't shoot as well as my friend's SCAR 17S. After spending SCAR 17S money on an M14, you still wouldn't have a better rifle.
#Scar 17 vs lrb m14 free#
The SCAR 17S is lightweight, free floated, ergonomically superior, and more modular than an M14. People love them because of nostalgia but can never back up with any data as to why they're better than other. I've owned two of them and they weren't anything to write home about. If I was in the market for a "battle rifle," I'd instantly skip the M14.
