Any updates on accuracies of these? I had high hopes because of how good the 20s is, but it seems like 1 moa is about the best, with 1.5 more common, and sub moa being an outlier? I get between 1-1.5 MOA and was worried I had a lemon, but that seems to be the norm? |

Granted a 17S in .308 are good shooters and a lot of examples are sub-MOA, so it's disappointing to see that the 6.5 of all things isn't at least on par. |

Picked up my SCAR today. Are all the stocks this finely crafted or did I just get lucky? Attached File Attached File Attached File |

If it’s that big of a deal to you spend 2 min with razor blade and it’s fixed forever. Shit like this is why firearms manufacturers like FN shun the US commercial market. |

Shit like this is why firearms manufacturers like FN shun the US commercial market. A stock that looks like it was mauled by Bubba's hand tools is OK on a rifle that has an MSRP of $4,600? |

Shit like this is why firearms manufacturers like FN shun the US commercial market. The clown emoji and exaggerated.gif don’t answer your question? Maybe it would be fixed and maybe not. The little bit I did remove doesn’t give me confidence. I’d rather it be jacked up from the factory than because I started cutting on it. News to me they shun our civilian market. Either way, thanks for the advice. |

For the record, overall I'm satisfied with the purchase. I simply expect better quality control from an $839 stock on a $4k msrp gun, and felt that it was fair game for discussion in case people reading this thread are on the fence about buying. |
