SCAR is simply too expensive. HK417 costs only 2/3 as much.
HK-417 is a good weapon. *I show it around 3800 dollars though. where did you see it at 2/3 of the cost of the SCAR?

Hi,
Most of the G 3's that I have seen have a wooden stock----are there synthetic stock available for this rifle---. Would it be a way to reduce weight. Have any of you heard about the synthetic stock or have seen it replacing the wooden stock
The 5.56 is no match for the taliban fighters under the influence of opium---.
Yes! however it is still a fairly heavy weapon.
FN FAL is also another good weapon, though heavy as well.
The SCAR H Standard is only 3.5kg
