I have 2 .308's but there bolt action guns. Looking to get a semi auto if and when I get back to work. I was wondering what the Scar 17 was going for price wise these days?? I know the price tag is steep and it might make me order a new Scout Squad. Why I like the Scar17 so much is its reliability, low recoil and accuracy. I wish it had an 18 inch barrel but 16 is good enough. I own an AR15 and AK74 that have similar ballistics. The Scar 17 is a rifle that I want. $2,800 for one may be overpriced for me. I got time to save up for it though.
