Hi Guys, I picked up a new SCAR 16s yesterday in black. I like it alot, I took it out to my farm last night to do some shooting. I like it. I put on a mini acog from another one of my rifles. Im thinking this needs a ELCAN or something. DO most of you guys run red dots or magnified optics on the 16? If I go Elcan, its going to be a while so I can save up.
Here are a couple of photos.

Did you find it privately or through a gunshop/online?
Curious when a new run of SCAR's is going to hit shelves again |

I run a T1 on mine. I do have a TR24 that might make it on there some day.

Congrats! I used to run an Elcan on mine but I never liked how far back I had to have it mounted to get proper eye relief and the weight made the gun feel awkward. I would highly recommend just having a red dot of your choice (I run a Comp M4s in an Absolute cowitness mount) and rotate a magnified optic (I run an ACOG) on when needed or do the Eotech/Magnifier setup (I had this as well but I didn't like how high the EXPS sat on the scar. lower 1/3 feels higher on the scar than on an AR and I prefer absolute for it).

Very nice!
You know that the black versions are not as accurate as the FDE, right? 
Enjoy it! It really is a great rifle. Oh, and obligatory pic of my SCAR 16 (alongside my black ACR)...

Add a Geissele Super SCAR trigger and you'll love it, OP.

Ask yourself what will you be using this for. If its for defense..Red Dot. If its for target...magnification.
I had a bad experience running a drill using a magnifier on red dot. When they started calling out different threats I tried swithching targets and couldnt find the target on the lens. So I swung off the 3x magnifier and now I was able to engage different targets fast. Acogs are great if your in Afghanistan engaging at 500 meters. So the solution would be a red dot with magnifier to the side. |
