The SCAR HVY has been issued to NAVSPECWAR for some time now and most users agree that its the best 308 assualt rifle to date period.:p
Ill go lock myself up in a MRAP ,snuggle up in a ballistic blanket,and brace for impact now. Thank you for your time.

I will say from what I have heard the HVY is a good platform. The light is a POS. Complete total POS.
 
Although I use a heavy,Ive used a light longer with no problems to report from it other than the stock getting wobbly on me.I used electric tape and fixed that prob.The HVYs starting to do the same thing. Also I had MAGPUL mag problems in the well.As for its use,,,never had a missfire or jam that i didnt force upon it on purpose.Thousands of rounds downrange in groupings typical of my old M4s.Recoil is next to nothing and its so lightweight.I can abuse my SCAR in many ways I could never do with the M4 and it still eats up rounds and asks for more even dusty and dry.Not that id abuse my shit.
Just want to know what problems youve had with it becuase I think my light has been through hell and back and never let me down once.
As for the heavy,so far its an exact copy in .308 and i cant imagine going back to a diff rifle becuase it shoots like a 556 with attitude.Loving it.
D1G out.
 
Most of the problems are due to ergonomics. I have not heard any complaints about the HVY, only the light. I have shot the HVY and liked it for what it was, but not as a replacement for the M4.
 
As an outsider, I'd honestly never heard a single positive thing about the SCAR until this thread. Even on this board users were hammering the thing and the only ones to care for it that I saw were wannabe airsofter fan boys still living in momma's basement.
 
Very strange that no one heres mentioned the SCAR light as a good platform yet.It was very hard for me to accept it over an M4 also, due to its totally alien design ....at first.I agree about ergonomics becuase the stock is nothing like most of us grew up with and you gotta be aware of the moving charging handle .However,once retraining myself I see how its more of a firm grip on the chest when shooting on the move.A lot of the new users hate the way "the boot" stock end curves inward at the top and it just doesnt sit right unless you modify the shooting position most people are confy with with thier flat ended M4 stocks. So yup ergonomics is a bitch to adjust to,but the gun itself is accurate and a monster suppressed or dry. I say dont take anyones word on it till you fire some rounds downrange yourself.Id hate for you guys to miss out on such a great rifle becuase a few bad mouthed it.
If id place my heavy and light side by side thier identical other than the slight size diff BTW.Like cback said the HVYs not an M4 replacement,but it still works suprisingly well in the shoothouses where overpens not a prob due to its lightweight , handling,and low recoil.
Heres the FN forum link for anyone interested.

there may be tons of more capable and proficient rifles out there.

The fact is.. rifles are part of a culture as much as they are about tactical proficiency. Why do you think the Russians still use AKs (even their specialized units)? The same reason we will NEVER deviate from that M-16 image that started in Vietnam. We have had that design for what.. like 50 years now? It's part of our military culture. Do you honestly believe if the HK416 looked nothing like an M4 some of our guys would have still purchased it? The answer is no, they wouldn't have.

If gun manufacturers want to break out into the US military market, they have to come up with rifles that still retain the M4 look. Such as how the guys with the .50 Beowulf did. Although that rifle is obviously not issued, and may not prove to be something we really need on daily basis. But if it were, the US government would go with the Beowulf based on image alone before it went with any other .50 Assault rifles, regardless if they are better weapons.
