Editor’s Note:

FN has taken their famed SCAR 17S platform and adapted it for long range shooting – the result is the SCAR 20S. A longer 20-inch chrome-lined barrel was added, along with a 2-stage Geissele match trigger, a SureFire ProComp to reduce recoil, and a stock that is fully adjustable for length-of-pull and cheek height. Still present is the standard SCAR gas-operated design, making the 20S a reliable and accurate platform for semi-automatic designated marksman work.

By The Numbers - FN SCAR 20S

Accuracy
These guns are capable of 1" 5-shot groups.
Reliability
Ejection is healthy and there are no feed issues whatsoever.
Customization
A copious amount of rail space allows for accessories to be added, but parts are not as easily interchanged as an AR-15.
Ergonomics
The stock is extremely well done, but the gun is fairly heavy and feels a bit bulky.
Overall
The SCAR 20S is an accurate, reliable DMR platform, but it comes at a steep asking price.

FN SCAR 17S

FN SCAR 17S

$880.99

Yes, it looks like an Ugg boot…now with that out of the way, the FN SCAR 17S is a nifty rifle that will make all your range mates jealous. Though it feels clunky, and there’s not a ton of aftermarket here, it brings a smooth, reliable shooting experience. Plus, it’s just fun. The folding stock makes it easy to tote to and from the range. It also has rails for optics but beware it will destroy cheap optics. Only the finest of glass here.

The FN SCAR 17S is chambered in .308 and offers a reliable rifle with a folding stock. It features a 16.25-inch barrel with 1:12 RH twist and a magazine capacity of 10 or 20 rounds, depending on your state. It’s a clunky 8 pounds, but shoots well and performs reliably.

Also present is DSA’s extreme duty Picatinny scope mount and M-LOK front handguard. This allows you to mount all the optics and accessories you need to bring one of the most proven rifle designs in the world into the 21st century.

IWI Galil ACE Gen 2

$1,683.99

The Galil ACE is IWI’s modern version of their original Galil ARM, which itself was a sort of the AK-47/Valmet/AR-15 mashup. The ACE uses the same mechanics as the original Galil, but in a lighter, smaller platform with a polymer lower receiver.

Considered widely to be the ultimate refinement of the AK-style platform, the Galil ACE in 7.62x39mm is a gas piston operated rifle that adds numerous improvements over its predecessors. A non-reciprocating left-side charging handle, M-LOK free float handguard, full-length Picatinny top rail, and a folding M4 style buttstock ensure that those who enjoy the 7.62x39mm cartridge have a rifle that is adapted for modern times and modern accessories.

FN SCAR 20S Upgrades & Accessories

final verdict

The FN SCAR 20s is undoubtedly a high-quality firearm. It can produce repeatable MOA groups, is reliable, and has the capability to engage targets at 1000 yards. But does all of that justify the $4000+ price tag? You can squeeze similar performance out of an AR-10 that costs a fraction of what the 20S does, but at the end of the day, the SCAR has a cool factor that can’t be replicated. If you are just chasing results, you can save money here by going another route, but if you are chasing cool, the 20S may be for you.
