I don't think any of those actually exist yet, do they?

Shilen 20" Scar set up
Factory 20" bbl

I notice some aren't in stock but after shooting a long range match with the 16" bbl, I began to search for a more effective range set up. It claims 900meter effective range with the 20" and I wondered if it was worth the high price tag. I am interested in any info

Take the velocity you get now. Add 100fps. Is that a game changer?

Probably not a game changer but I'd like to be a little more able to hit 1k even with the restraints of factory loads. 800 seems to be somewhat maxed out with 168gr amax on a 16in barrel. I'd like to try a 20in bbl with maybe a hot 208 load

I can as well but not very consistent vs the feeling of throwing shots out there. Basically, I shot a competition with it and want to squeeze a little more consistency from the platform.

The extra barrel length will not make the rifle magically more accurate further out.  Really the extra barrel length will probably do no better or worse than the 16".  The ammo load, trigger, and shooter-mod will have the most profound difference than any barrel length change.

I'd heard rumors of someone working on a 6.5CM kit for the SCAR17, as well as a 300BLK kit for the 16, as they'd be able to use the same stock mags, bolt, etc...just need a new barrel. I've not heard an update in a long while though. I may need to ping my sources again to see what, if anything, has come of that misadventure.

Agreed, I shot against an ar10 in 6.5 cm and he was slinging them in there with a lot less elevation adjustment. 308 has a huge drop off from 800 to 1k
