That's a great looking rig. Is the Smith Vortex compatible with any suppressors? I haven't seen one in a minute.

It's probably just the lighting as here is a much older pic of the same SCAR....

The white engraving ones are made in Belgium. The new ones are made stateside and they aren’t coloring the words.

Thanks for the useful information. I kind of like it better without the white, personally. Hopefully it has similar durability and reliability as the Belgian model. I know people go back and forth on opinions of the production lines.

With the can, it’s 100% reliable with a nice 4:00 ejection pattern on the “suppressed” setting. I think it’s a 1.9mm gas jet.

Bought a Scar17 in August and have been having fun upgrading it since. I wanted to get the black model as it is not as common as the FDE Scar17 model, the black scheme looks great in person with the upgrades below. The premise of this gun will be for general range/steel target use, hog hunting, deer hunting, and medium to long range shooting.

Below are the upgrades as of 12/9/19
- Kinetic Development Group MREX MK2 MLOK rail 6.5"
- Geissele Super Scar trigger
- Strike Industries black MLOK covers
- BCM Mod3 vertical grip
- Scar black Ergo Grip (great value and feel)
- Atlas bipod (need QD block)
- Silencerco ASR muzzle brake
- Silencerco Specwar 762 suppressor (very quiet)

I run two optics
- Steiner P4Xi 1-4, on a Larue SPR QD mount
- Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 with Tremor3 reticle illuminated, on a Leupold Mark 6 bolt scope mount, eventually will get a Larue SPR 35mm mount
Both scopes are ideal for this rifle, the Steiner is a great value with crisp glass, and robust design for the notorious Scar recoil.

The next upgrade will be a Kinetic Development Group stock and the QD cups for a sling.

I took this rifle to the range to sight it in with the 1-4x Steiner and was impressed to find a .3 MOA with Winchester Deer Season XP 150 grain bullets at 50 yards, and a .7 MOA group at 100 yards. I have yet to take the new Leupold Mark 5HD scope out to see what the true 100 yard accuracy will be. I have shot 175 grain Federal Gold Medal Match and was not impressed compared to the Deer Season XP ammo. I do plan on using some Hornady Match .308 ammo soon. I strongly believe this rifle is capable of 1/2 MOA at 100 yards with the right ammo and no hangover.

I look forward to hearing what other members have found for accuracy with alternatives to FGMM 175 grain rounds. I have yet to use a chronograph for data gathering so am interested to learn what the Scar17 can do with 150 gr, 168 gr, and 175 gr loads in regards to FPS velocity.

Ive shot it during the day and love it, haven't tried to look through it with the pvs14 yet. I was kinda bummed that you still have to maintain eye relief at 1x, but I don't think the eotech will go back on this gun anytime soon.
