Took this setup (sans PWS SRX, didn't get it in time) to a John "Shrek" McPhee heavy carbine class. SGM (ret) McPhee was a member of the Army's most exclusive cool guy Unit having retired in 2011, and was of course, a notable character in the non fiction book, "Kill Bin Laden". Won one of the class challenges, even just shooting PPU 145 gr. Also engaged steel targets out to 640 yards no problem. I'll admit i'm a bit too skinny for this gun though... took every ounce of concentration to get my hits with the cheek piece slapping my face and butt stock bruising my clavicle with each shot. If you can afford to keep the muzzle brake on, keep the muzzle brake on.

thats interesting. I replaced the PWS brake on mine with a BABC while it did kick a bit more it was totally controlable. I shot about 1000 rounds through my 17s on the last day and half of a 3 day Costa Ludus class and had no issues what so ever with recoil or cheek slapping.
I got out the 17s just to try for a little bit durring the class as it was reletively new at that time and I didn't have a lot of experience with it however I found it so controlable that I kept shooting it for the rest of the class. The fact that I was able to keep up with the guys running .223 says a lot about this system. About the only handicaps I found when running the SCAR 17s were the 20 round ammo capacity of the mags compared to the 30 round mags everone else had and the wieght of the loaded mags on my belt. |

Was actually thinking about going the BABC route with this rifle... but my personal preference against muzzle brakes is just too much for me to overcome, haha

So is this one rare also? I just need the rifle to complete my Mk17 Very cool All of the SU230As (7.62 calibrated military contract FDEs) are extremely rare. As far as military contract SU230As go, the particular one that you have is approx 2 gens ago...pre-"bubble side" body (1 gen ago) and pre-""bubble side" body HD (current). The current civilian Limited Run FDEs are built to the HD specs but with civilian reticle.

Running my work gun pretty much this way since early August. No more tape switches.
The SRS is the heat. It's a below-500 serial number. I do NOT regret spending what I did on it. I like the 1.75 dot a lot and the monster FOV, too. Total round count ~2500 now (done more shootin' & just taught a rifle class). I'm up to two SF60s now - both were made in Jul 2012, and have run flawlessly through hundreds of rounds. I've been too lazy to send the first "dud" one back yet. |

Yes.
How heavy is it?
A little more than a loaded Garand. About 2lbs more than that with the lights, LASER, AND SF60 in it. |

Not sure the model. I like it as it has green and red dots in varying intensities. I went to the range a few days ago and when i took the gun out of the bag it was still on, when i put it away and took it out a week later it was still on. Last a lot longer then my gen 1-3 primary arms. |
