Semi-automatics, revolvers, long guns... ask questions and offer tips on safe, accurate shooting here.

I have been eyeballing a SCAR for some time (haven't handled one myself yet). I am thinking I want to purchase one, but the price tag is making me a little cautious. Does any here have any personal experience with this rifle and is there a store locally (in Delaware) that carries them? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have had the opportunity to shoot a SCAR in 5.56 a couple of times. I don't think I have enough experience to sway you one way or the other, but I'll offer my opinion.

The controls might take a little getting used to if you are already familiar with the AR platform. Nothing drastic, just different. I was surprised by the overall feeling of a lack of quality. For the price, I would expect to be impressed, but it was a little clunky and plastic feeling. They certainly shoot nice and handle well, but I personally prefer the AR (that's just me).
