That's outstanding accuracy. And I typically shoot targets at maybe 50' with my HK VP9SK. But it's all good.As promised, check these shot groups out....
In this picture, I was zeroing the scope at 100 yards. This is a 6" round target with a 1 inch square in the center. You are looking at 3 separate groups.
After I put those groups down, I put the suppressor on it to find the dope for the can. This thing is so accurate that not only is this group of 3 less than 1/2 MOA, but I literally hit the same spot twice. I did a blow-up with arrows to show the 3 holes.
Certainly seems to be a great rifle at a very fair price.
No doubt. $1,200 and using Hornady 140 gr OTC ammo. Amazing. The scope cost $600 more than the rifle... which helps me a lot. LOL
Took some toys out this past weekend. No optic on the SCAR 17 yet as I'm still undecided and this was my first time running it. It's quality shows through the first time you pull the trigger, everything about it is sorted. It was noticeably louder than the .308 AR pictured, and then we brought out the .338 LM and it made the SCAR look and sound like a .22. The only thing I don't like about the 338 is that it doesn't take long for it to wear your shoulder out for the day. After 150 rounds of .308 I still felt fine. Only took ~35 rounds of .338 after that to have me call it quits. I'm thinking about picking up a lead sled for it since I love shooting it but it's just brutal after so long.
Very much so. I ended up buying the 6.5 Creedmoor, as well. Barrel is 4" longer than my .308.
Ruger has also added a 5.56/.223 model.
Serious weaponry there! Is that your property in the last photo?Took some toys out this past weekend. No optic on the SCAR 17 yet as I'm still undecided and this was my first time running it.

It's not, it's a friends place about 5 minutes up the road from my house. I'm fortunate enough to have access to it, I refuse to go to public ranges anymore. I can shoot on my property but only out to about 100 yards. The range at his property will be out to 4-500 yards once it's done.
Nice! I have one and love it. All you need now is an RMR.
Yes, I just need to narrow it down on which to go with.
Took the cobra out to go shootin to sight in my new scope.
My son and I making some brass rainbows.
1 year 6 days is all it took for my Form4 (suppressor) to get approved. Now to wait for the stamp to get mailed and I can finally pick it up.
That was awesome Marc! Nice that your son shares your passion.

Thanks! Yea, my son is a great kid... very responsible for his age. I'm thrilled that he enjoys shooting sports. It give us something to enjoy together.
Dang, did you have to redo it or was it missing some information? I'm getting ready to send mine off, they've been telling me it will be about 6-8 months.
Nope no corrections. But I'm not entirely sure when the Form4 was submitted. I bought through Silencer Shop, so I should really say that time was since purchase of the suppressor.
Finished this up yesterday for a little 4th of July fun.
Ran through some moving drills with some friends/coworkers. I ran them through individually a few times first before doing a run with the three of us. We have videos but I only have the dumbed down shitty versions. Will hopefully get the higher quality ones soon.
Also experienced getting hit by a ricochet on that run too. 5.56 round came right back and hit where my fingernail meets the skin, and also my friends lip. There was a 1/2" steel support behind one of the targets that was too soft. The round perfectly burrowed in so far and then deflected back out using the bore it had made to direct it right back at us. Didnt have enough velocity to do any real damage unless it hit you in the eye or a tooth or something. It cut my finger open but it felt like just a hard flick basically. Just a lesson to always check the steel you are shooting at. Dont assume just any steel will be okay.

That setup looks pretty cool, but you need to do something about preventing ricochet. I got hit in the back of the calf 3 months ago. 300 Blackout bounced off a steel plate about 10 yards away. Went more than a 1/4 inch into my calf. I still have a hole in my leg. Had a bad infection and some muscle tissue damage. Its no joke.
