0/10.

Too many weapons of war.

You just need an 870 so sit and rack its slide a few times to ward off the enemy.

Care to elaborate on that? I have a bunch of high quality ARs, and understand the parts commonality and such, but I have spare parts for the SCAR as well. I haven't had the SCAR all that long but I'm really digging it.

I'd still take a lightweight AR any day of the week.

What if you have to patrol for over 24 hours? That heavy 762 bastard is going to kill you from fatigue.
That isn't a 7.62

And in 5.56 I'd take a quality AR over a SCAR16 100% of the time.

That said, the OP's gun is a nice rifle.....it simply offers no advantages over the aforementioned quality AR and IMO, is less desirable.

They're good guns as you know and if you have a stable of nice AR's, no reason not to throw a SCAR16 in to the mix if you like them.

I simply believe that high end, well made and designed AR's are the best available 5.56 delivery systems made and as such have no real interest in a SCAR. I find them to be kinda clunky in design, don't care for the stock and over all configurability to be somewhat limiting.

I remember being at SHOT in Orlando when they were released. Same year Magpul released the Masada. I remember thinking "This has to be a prototype....no way they'll leave this hollow, cheap feeling boot of a stock on this gun."

I've shot a few and they perform nicely......just would never reach for one over, say a KAC CQB Mod 2.

No, no, no, no.  New guidance has mismatched camo as Tier-1, due to multiple conflicts/tours/jobs that can't be talked about.

Only LARPers have time to shop for matching stuff.

We have a Tactical Gear subforum in the Armory section where people talk a lot about plate carriers, armor, belts, helmets, etc. You could get a lot of good feedback there.

You've got all the fundamental needs there, but it seems a bit needlessly bulky. (Your mom seems a bit needlessly bulky)

You seem to expect to be out in the woods for long consecutive periods of time. 9 rifle mags, 2 IFAKs or whatever those huge pouches are on each of your cumberbunds. I assume you also have a pack set up for long duration personal sustainment in the woods, with water, food, sleeping gear, etc. I assume you have that huge knife because you want to do bushcraft-y work with it like cutting firewood and maybe skinning game.

If you aren't expecting to be running around in the woods for more than a day at a time, I'd consider shaving a lot of weight. You're very unlikely to ever need 9 mags. Try replacing the double stack pouches on front with single stack pouches from Esstac. Also try leaving only one rifle mag on the belt and put it next to the pistol pouches rather than with something stacked on top of it. Go through that IFAK on your left cumberbund and think about what actually needs to be in there. Go through whatever you have in that pouch on your right cumberbund and rethink what needs to be in there.

What sort of stuff needs to be immediately accessible on your plate carrier, and what can just go inside your pack?

If that knife is mainly serving as a "get the fuck off me" knife, then consider something smaller. Those big knives are mainly designed around the idea to serve double duty as both a fighting knife and a bushcraft/utility knife.

Water? Radio for talking to friends? Inflatable sex doll for morale support?

The med kit and other pouch are too bulky. Swap the med kit for a taco on you chest and ditch the other if you are only defending the homestead and woods.

Also - if just homestead, ditch the rifle mags on the belt.

And my mom is not bulky!

I hate knives on the front like that.

That giant pouch on your right side will affect your pistol draw/reholster.

When finances allow, get a better helmet.  It will make a world of difference.

Thank you for not covering your shit in stupid patches.

Don’t get me wrong, ARs are great and lightweight but we can Pro and Con every firearm to death like how many rounds will be needed to defend one self with 5.56 vs .308? There are plenty of people who have carried 7.62 rounds in combat and did it for more than 24 hours.

10.5 inch barreled ARs excel at ONE particular thing. Sweeping ships quarters. Out in the woods? Fuck that, there are way better options. Not everything is CQB and with that the last thing you want out in the woods is CQB equipment when your goal is keeping a long distance. That’s where 7.62 comes into play though the SCAR would not be my first choice it is lighter.

Excellent points. I constantly hear how the 10.3/11.5 is the best. I’m not clearing rooms, so 14.5’s-16’s work far better. I had a number of 10.3 and 11.5’s I ended up selling all but one 11.5. It’s nice for HD, and a quick handy side by side gun or right around the house, anywhere else I want the improved ballistics. So many people loose sight that those of us in the country are served better by longer barrels. Honestly if I did t have the 11.5 I’d be fine, I know I would t buy one.

OP, if it was me I had a SCAR16 and only sold it because it was a 10” SBR, I would seriously looking into having the barrel shortened to 14.5”, look at what suppressor you want to go with and have the mount pinned and welded to bring you out to 16”.
