SCAR-17S weighs 8lbs empty, thats 1lb. heavier compared to my build.
The issue with SCAR-H's is that they are destroying optics. I love the lightweight and balance of them as well, but recently learned about the harmonic resonance problem they have that just rattles the trash out of optical instruments.
I've owned 5 different AR10's- 3 in .308 and 2 in .260 Rem. I was going to build a lightweight 16" gun until I got a 16" 6.5 Grendel. I have zero plans to do anything with a 16" .308 now (or anything .308 anymore, unless I find an original Dutch Armalite AR10 from half a century ago).
You could rebarrel your AR308 to 6.5 Creedmoor and shoot the 123gr 264's 500fps faster than in a Grendel. That's what I'm planning to do with my AR308 "Heavy"
I just got done shooting my 14.5" Noveske N6/ Armalite AR10. I'm shooting Sierra 175s and have my Surefire 7.62 Mini suppressor mounted. I had no problem shooting out to 500. I was getting first round hits from the data my Shooter I phone app predicted. At 6, 8, and 900 yards, the predicted data was a little too much. I did shoot it all the way out to 900 yards, 10.8 mils was my elevation for 900 (my 18" N6 is 8.5 mils). Wind was roughly 5-10 mph, half value which had me holding .5-1 mil.
I also have a Noveske N6 18", a 16" .308 Remington 700, and my duty SR25 with a 20" barrel. I would recommend going with the shortest barrel length you can. The velocity difference from 20" to 14.5" with 175s is about 100-150 FPS. As long as your scope can dial the elevation you will likely not see a big difference in the wind holds.
