If you already have AR's, AK, some 12 gauges, what other guns would you purchase before its banned in the future?

A scar is a little out of my budget range.

Paracord is what you want

Look to your home state for ideas.

FedGov and the states may not be able to ban certain firearms, but they will ban/severely restrict parts and accessories.

Good, standard AR15, but maybe a bit expensive for what it is.

For an off-the-shelf rifle, it is good to go.

I made the mistake last night of looking up reviews on best hunting rifles that are also very accurate. I knew nothing about the seekins havak pro hunter before I started but now I sort of want one.

Sadly only one shop seems to sell them in Canada and at $3,200 its more than I care to spend.

Might sell the Remington 700 and look for an xbolt though.

Sig cross is also a great option at a lower cost. They’re pretty lightweight

Ok, after researching more, the scar 16 has moved into my budget range. For those that have it, are you happy you bought it or would you rather have purchased something else?

In my option the scar 16 doesn’t make much sense as an alternative to the AR platform. If you have the RCH model the action is a more open design which won’t be as reliable, it’s heavier than a DI AR, and it’s much more expensive than even the best AR’s (KAC, DD, LMT, ect.). Now the scar 17 as a battle rifle, I don’t think there’s a better alternative. That’s just my .2 cents

I agree, can’t remember if I’ve posted mine here? However, I have to admit it’s a gun I don’t use much. Yes it looks amazing, but it’s so incredibly heavy and feels like a century behind my SCAR-17 (hell everything else does as well).

Looks cool, but in my opinion that’s about it.

You have bought the best rifle ever (until you try a 17 ). Nothing compares. Make sure you get the Geissele Super Scar trigger. You have the king piece now, enjoy.

You like the H so far? I changed the loader pin to the left side, is more comfortable to me, even Im a right-hander.

I think it's the best rifle I've ever shot. It's simply amazing how light FN was able to make a .308 platform. The thing is lighter than some of my ARs, and with nearly the same amount of recoil for a much larger/hotter round. It's extremely easy to handle, and just does everything I could ever ask of a rifle. Honestly I don't see how it can be improved upon, it's just unlike anything I've ever shot before. The only real issue I foresee is the weight of carrying extra ammo due to the size/weight of .308 rounds, but that's not the guns fault.

I put the charging handle on the right because I have a reciprocating bolt version. By placing it on the right, there's zero chance I'll ever get SCAR bite. It doesn't bother me at all having on the right side as I've been an AK shooter for decades so it's second nature charging on the right side.

Wish us luck here in Illinois. “AWB” passed the house and on its way to the senate. I can’t wait for the lawsuits to roll in.

EOTech EXPS3/G45 and magpul fore grip installed. This gun is so damn sexy

I am looking into the Giselle scar trigger, but I would like to see how OEM shoots first.
