[ARCHIVED THREAD] - SSR release (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 10/1/2018 11:06:06 AM EDT

LO fucking L...

The latest in picittinny technology.

Perfectly calibrated for long range shooting with 308 because the 6.5/260 that are currently used down range are for suckers.

Complete with somebody else's trigger.

Bravo FN... Bravo...

It doesn't bother me that they use the Super Scar trigger or is in 6.5 creedmore. The former is better than whatever they made and the latter requires more R&D than they have into it. The price does bother me. FN, when I read $5,500 I see "FUCK YOU".

I submit that the whole situation and antics with the SCAR 17 and especially the SSR merits FN now taking the place of HK's "Because you suck and we hate you" throne. I can't think of a case where HK SAID that a product would be released and then held off for years, where HK raised the MSRP price of an item, or where HK did a limited release of an item for the sole purpose of charging a ridiculous price.

Also the exclusion of the SCAR from the NRA instructors discount list makes absolutely no sense when they have the SAW on the list.

I would love a SCAR and SSR but FN doesn't want me to buy them. At this point I would buy a Larue, LMT, HK, or KAC because they haven't been actively screwing with costumers for years. FN if you want my cash, drop the MSRP on the SCAR a $1000 and $2500 on the SSR.

Not selling my scar, but this laughable. You are aware that the R and D for 6.5 is done and they are being used down range right now.

5400 for the rifle and a nightforce may have been interesting. 5400 for a barrel, extended receiver and stock that they came up 6 years ago.

Dunno what street price would be, but assuming we are starting with a 5.4k MSRP, nah...which blows, I want an SSR something fierce, and have for years.

It's neat that they've finally decided to release them. Though my interest has significantly waned over time.

I think I would pick something else to get to, and beyond, 800 yards.

I do think every one will sell fairly quickly.

FN is selling SCARs as fast as they can import them. I’d wager that’s the reason they’re not offering discounts, they don’t need to. Hate them for that decision if you want but that’s likely the reason.

Yep, I'd fucking love an SSR, but there is no way I could afford it without getting in some debt. That said, doesn't seem like FN needs any help selling their rifles, and seems like they might be doing well off.

The hardcore fanboys are buying. But the SCAR-17 isn’t worth $3300, and the SSR isn’t worth $5k+. I’d be buying an SR-25 for that kind of cash.

$5,000 for an SR-25 is acceptable though?

Also, why would FN drop SCAR prices if people are buying them faster than they can ship them to dealers?

I'm not disagreeing with you - I think it's too much $$$ for what it is (for me personally), but FN is a business not a charity.

Their primary concern is making money - not whether or not their pricing conflicts with what your definition of worth is.

If people stop buying them, they'll drop the price.

Agree. I love my 17, it’s probably my favorite rifle, but I barely bought in at 2.5k. I would not have bought at 3k+. If the SSR were about 3k or maybe even a bit over, I’d probably bite. I realize I like the SCAR more than probably most, and that most would jump only at lesser prices. But at these prices I’d rather just get a KAC for the same or even less price.

This is definitely geared for the collector that has the cash and just NEEDS a Mk20, not the general shooting public.

I for one don't feel the SR25 is worth 5000, but I do knowledge that its probably the most refined smoothest shooting 308 gas gun on the market. I am fortunate to be in the position to have find alot of Kac guns and the past and if i wanted one, could get one. At the end of the day that refinement isnt worth it for me, I shoot LMT's since i Value modularity over that last bit of refinement.

My Scar on the other hand while a good weapon, still suffers from a number of shortcomings. Its trigger was shit, its hand guard was obsolete, it has a reputation of eating optics, Its stock is a somewhat weak link, it ships with an A2 stock, and the oddest thing i have read is that you need to change out screws when swapping the barrel.

The Scar while its been out for shit, like 10 years now, is still pretty fucking raw. We have seen the MSRP raise from 3200 to 3500. Nothing has really changed. I can look at the SR25, I objectively say that while its not worth it to me. They really have developed that platform and that counts for something.

In battle Carbine configuration it has short comings, and in long range configuration, its marginal at best, Marginal caliber, marginal twist. everybody has been going shorter, 1:10 barrels and FN releases this thing.

if i was looking at adding another long range gas gun, there zero reason i would take the SSR over a JP or Gap.

Not sure where the butt hurt is coming from regarding price.
Does not seem to be that much of a premium for the "limited" package thing. What did you guys expect? Where is all the butthurt over pricing coming from. Since day one there has always been a SCAR premium due to the fact that the platform has not become mainstream.
Some quick math:

$100 - Harris SBRM Bipod
$200 - SKB Case (not sure of mode going on average)
$100 - Custom foarm
$398 - First Spear R37 Rifle Wrap
$50 - Vickers Sling
$100 - FN SCAR 20S Field Kit
$50 - Bore guide
$325 - Geissele Super SCAR trigger.
$1,323 - Total of extras NOT counting swag (coin, book, etc)

So, if we are to say a "standard" SCAR 17s is $3,000 we have a total of $4,323 leaves a difference of $1,176.
That means the SSR "cool guy" factors of the longer barrel, adjustable buttstock, longer barrel, etc cost $1,176 as a premium over a "regular" SCAR 17S.

Doesn't really seem that bad.

For me the SSR really isnt going to do much more than my current Scar. I might get a 100fps out of the SSR. the Stock is cool, but I would have to give up the one thing that I really like about the Scar, its ability to Fold.

Now if they offered it in both 308 and 6.5, you know, barrels that they already make in house, the SSR would be more interesting and something that i would considering paying a premium for. would I pay an extra 1200 over a standard Scar... possibly, although i would probably be more inclined to just get a 6.5 barrel for my standard Scar.

Std Scar with two barrels would be about same price as a SSR with one barrel.

I think it's awesome they released it. It is a bit overpriced though,and my 16 inch 17 is already a good combo of accurate and light.

I think FN would gain more market share if they could get the price a little lower too but, not my company lol. Most of the complaints about the scar are either not a big deal or things people would change anyway...would it be nice if there was a factory version of the PMM mlock rails, of course. But FN is more of a cargo ship than a speedboat. Not quick to change direction.

Now they just need to release a pistol Scar SC and make that stock available too.Hopefully not in another 5 years.

I'll be waiting on the standard model. Less money, less stuff I won't even use anyways, and I won't have to feel bad about shooting it if the Limited ones are individually numbered/for resale value.

I agree that it is cool that FN finally brought out the SSR. I have been interested in the Scar since it was first released, Ive shot the Mk17 CQC's, the Mk17 standards, I own 17 myself and spent around a grand in addressing short comings. I think that The Scar platform has a ton of potential. the Heavy can easily go from light weight carbine to a long range in 5 minutes. The Light can go from a PDW to long range in the same amount of time. The Scar has the ability to be what ever the end user wants it to be.

The problem is that FN is not supporting this capability. CZ is. CZ pretty much copied the SCAR, and I'll tell you this, I have zero interest in the Scar 16, but I will buy the small frame Bren 2, they are already supporting its modularity and it hasn't really come out yet. I think a Bren 2/scar 16 PDW with 8 inch barrel in 7.62x39 or 300BO would be awesome, and i would buy that right now. CZ offers it, FN just leaves it on the shelves.

So yeah, The SSR is cool, I like the platform, but i dont need one 3000 dollar carbine, and one 4000 dollar long range gun and have 7 grand tied up before optics. I would how ever spend 300-500 on a decent long range stock, and i would drop 1200ish on decent long range barrel, but thats not going to be anything chambered in 308 with a 1:12 twist barrel.

Correct. Doesn't come with all the fancy-ness. Just the standard cardboard box. And I would assume 1 mag. Should be released sometime in November if all goes to plan, according to him.

I'm not big on limited/special edition challenge coins. And I don't need a shooting mat or hard case, or harris bipod. So I'm very much looking forward to the standard.

I'd be in at $4k, but even more so if it hits the market a little less. Can use the gap between the $5.5k and $4k to buy a decent barrel if it's actually a 1:12 twist. 6.5 or .260 could be fun, and I believe those are starting to trickle out in the wild among some units, too.

That’s awesome to hear. I think this is going to end up robbing my Tavor 7 fund. Hopefully it’s a 1/10 twist barrel, FN seems to be able to stabilize heavy .308 from their 1/12’s (or at least my old SPR A1, never tried over 168 from my SCAR) but it’d still be nice not to worry about it.

That's interesting. I have an MWS and it's an absolutely horrible suppressor host, even with low back pressure cans like my socom 762 mini 2. By comparison, my SCAR 17 is wonderful due to being able to swap the gas jets. My SCAR has noticeably less felt recoil, weighs less, and is much more accurate despite the lighter profile barrel. My MWS is up for sale.

Must be a barrel issue. My SCAR had to go back for warranty work because my AK’s could out shoot it. The MWS is super mild to shoot and is a sub-MOA rifle with good ammo.

I had a LMT 308MWS. Nice gun. Sold it when I got my SCAR 17 and haven't looked back. For what I wanted out of a battle rifle, the SCAR does everything better. I love LMT, but the 308MWS just didn't do anything better. Haven't missed the LMT at all. The SCAR is fantastic. Best gun I have ever owned.

Will the SCAR 20S have a side folding stock similar to the 17S? From what I can find the stock appears to be fixed which is ridiculous for a 20" rifle.

It's fixed. Why is that ridiculous for a precision rifle such as this?

If I had the money I would buy one in a heartbeat. I would also buy the stock to replace the OEM 17 stock. If you do not like the 20s do not buy it.
If I were building the SCAR 20 I would probably change a few things 1in10 twist barrel, ditch the pic rails and just have M-Lok\~~Penis~~Key-Mod attachments, and not have a reciprocating charging handle.
The rifle still looks bad ass and maybe they will make it without all the goodies and just sell a rifle with the G-trigger. I also think it is a great idea to use a G-trigger instead of FN standard trigger or making their own. Why not use the best instead of trying to reinvent the wheel and probably saved a lot of money on overall cost using something that is already developed and tested.
OP this is what I think of when I read your comments..... Do not lose sleep over it...
