PWS MK2 Good .308?

[Plasman]

With the new configuration Mod 1 and price, should i try it? Or just go straight to SCAR 17

That depends on your use requirements. Either way, I don't have any SCAR 17 experience so I can't give you a comparison.

Picked up a PWS Mk2 today, really like the quality. Waiting on a Geissele trigger and I'm going to take it to the range with a variety of ammo for testing. FWIW, I'm really happy with my PWS Mk114, shoot's 2.5MOA@100 yards with cheap M193 with stock trigger.

Got mine 2 weeks ago shot it last weekend. Amazing rifle shoots better than the overrated Daniel Defense 7.62 DD5V1 (which I bought and returned to purchase this), much more recoil friendly,
EASIER TO CLEAN. Zeroed my ACOG TA11E and installed a Geissele SSA-E trigger and took 3 shots to zero the scope, using standard PRVI 180 grain SP ammo and left the gas setting on position 1,
did 1/2 MOA groups at 100 yards. I thought I went to the range just to zero the rifle, but it was so fun to shoot I used up 300 rounds like crazy. Don't get me wrong though
Daniel Defense is a good rifle I own 2 (M4A1, and M4V5S) 5.56 which have not given me any problems with probably hundreds of rounds on both, that's why I bought and tried their new .308 that
came out but it's not quite there yet. Probably later productions would improve, who knows, probably the DI vs Gas piston thing but I love the PWS long stroke concept, no FTF, FTE or any sort
of hiccups out of the box and it was dry as hell when I run it. I did messed up the gas piston setting when i was playing with it, when I turned it to the X position, which you are not suppose to do
until after a year for cleaning, the detent for the spring flew right out, I knew something came off because something hit my foot, so I called PWS customer service (Very Professional people willing to help out)
and told me that there indeed was a detent that goes in the spring that I should look for and with my 51 yo eyesight, it was amazing that I found it stuck on my golden retriever's tail(cause she was beside me
when I was playing with the firearm) and I have to remove the handguard to access the gas block and reinstall the detent, no big deal. Anyway, this gun is a keeper I know I will be shooting it some more and will be doing
more review about it but FWIW, Love it!

What didn't you like about the DDV5? Just the recoil? Was it an apples to apples comparison with the PWS in terms of muzzle devices? A brake or comp can make a big difference.

Awesome, I'd love to hear more from you, it's gonna be a while until I can take mine out, waiting on paperwork for a suppressor and parts for the build. Everyone seemed to love their post 2014 made Mk2 rifles (Mod1 but with the Nickel Teflon bolt carrier group), a lot of people are getting MOA all day every day...except these guys from TTAG in their PWS Mk2 review, which I find weird.

FWIW, the majority of shooters report the Mk2's group best with 170-185 grain ammo. Steve Reichert praised the Mk2 accuracy with Lapua 185's calling it 1/2MOA.
