Well.....you are NOT going to like this
just heard from FN SCAR 16S is $2,696.56 Frak...... glad my AR does everything I need for that price.... for that amount I can have one nice 5.56 carbine, a .22 upper, 6.5 upper and maybe even a .458 SOCOM upper...... |
|
Yeah, even if it is possible to buy this before the inevitable ban, not many will at that price.
|
|
Better come with a B!*wjob for that price (and do the dishes as well)
|
|
ummmm... fuck that.
Someone tell me how it delivers 5.56mm projectiles down range 3.8 times better than an AR and I'll think about it. |
|
I can't wait to see what the price will be when they realize Obama got elected.
|
|
Yep, they released the price after the election
I wonder what it would cost if McCain had won... |
|
I do like the price. I can afford it, but I don't want to afford it.
|
|
If that is the correct price and not some FN person just trying to get us to go away (I've called too...) then there is no chance in hell I'll be buying a SCAR as planned.
N...F...W! |
|
It's the correct price, they contacted me to release it.....
|
|
Agreed. That's well over what I'm willing to pay. I'll just build another AR instead and save half the money.
Wake me up when the price hits $1,600. |
|
They must have realized that they aren't going to be selling any of these to the military now that Comrade Obama has been elected and is vowing deep cuts to defense spending, and FN decided to recoup it's R&D costs from the civilian market.
|
|
Jesus fucking christ...
I could buy 6 AK-74s and a Russian Mail Order Bride for the cost of that.. |
|
Damn the SCAR isnt that big of a deal who in their right mind would pay that for some polymer and metal?
|
|
Well ........................ they can keep that.
Let's see how the Bushmaster ACR does. |
|
You know the kool-aiders will still buy it. "The SCAR is so much better than the piece of crap M16, even the military is getting rid of it!" How much does a piston AR upper go for? Because that'll do everything this ugly thing will |
|
Quoted:
is that MSRP? wouldn't the real cost be about $2200? So what if it was? I want one. Really bad. Not bad enough for that stupid price. |
|
They may just be figuring that they will not be able to produce that many, so why not try to recoup their R&D as soon as possible.
Just saying. |
|
Quoted:
ACR it is. +1 Now that FN released its price watch Bushmaster price the masada @ $2100 and call it a "deal" |
|
Quoted:
Group buy for $2,400 per unit? There was a press release from the military that said what they pay per unit. It was $2200ish for the SCAR S with 3 uppers, suppressor, and 10 mags. Slightly more for the SCAR L. FN can go pound sand. My interest just evaporated instantly. |
|
Quoted:
Why are they calling it the 16s? I am guessing because it has a 16 inch barrel and is Semi-auto |

Because that'll do everything this ugly thing will I don't even think the Kool-aiders will buy it. That is WAY TOO much. DAAAAYAAAAAAM. |
|
I find that price hard to believe. It is outrageously high.
Bushmaster ACR for me. - BG |
|
So a plastic gun is $2700 and I can buy 3 AR15's for that amount, plus additional parts for breakage with ease?
Again, FUUUUUUCK THAT! This is 50 cal territory and I'd much rather have a 50 than a plastic novelty. The AR works. |
|
Quoted:
pretty much my intial reaction as well. Asking "how many suckers are out there?" was my second. |
|
I wanna hear from all the people in the other civilian SCAR thread talking about how they'll get one as soon as possible since it's the most hardcore ultimate OMGWTFBBQ battle rifle ever devised because SOCOM uses it. While at the same time they claimed that the Bushmaster ACR/Masada will sit on shelves. Ha.
I bet the Bushmaster reps just got a little more spring in their step. Assuming the ACR does actually get produced. |
|
They can keep it. The estimated price @ both SHOTs was said to be $1800 for the L. I can get a sweet custom 1911 or kitted out piston AR for that, someone at FN be hedging on it becoming a collectors item.
