I have a scar 16s, with a eotech xps-2 and a 3x magnifier. I love that set up. I know the 17s is not meant as a sniper rifle, but I am sure it may be a bit more accurate than the 16s. Does anyone have one, and if so, what are you running on it, do you like it, and do you wish you went with something else?
 
Re: Scar 17s scope

My friend and fellow officer went with the Eotech, with the 308 reticle.

He and I have shot it out to 300 with the Eotech, no complaints. Accuracy was as expected from a battle rifle, so he felt that the Eotech was a good choice.
There was a good review I read on M4carbine about the 17's accuracy. It was very servicable, but certainly not match accuracy.

i've set a couple up, the swarovski 1-6 brt works well, and i've also had good luck with 1-4 nightforce scopes, and one i set up with a 2.5-10x32 low velocity reticle it's lots of fun to shoot
 
Re: Scar 17s scope

I like the idea of another eotech, I can just swap out my magnifier and it is definitely a cheaper way to go. I'm not rich by any means, and I normally buy my expensive gun for the year with my tax return.

I hear, at 300 yards the grouping will be around 2-3moa I will imagine that would be hard to see with a 1-4 power scope.
