Has anyone here had a SCAR17 ruin your optic?

[QuietShootr]

I've read that as well, but I haven't seen any first hand accounts of it happening. Have you broken any electronics or optics on a SCAR? Do you have a link to reports of someone who has?

Not trying to be a dick about it, I just want to chase this down and find someone who has had it happen.

I have broken a PAQ-4C and two Surefire incan bulbs so far. The Aimpoints and ACOGs seem pretty impervious on mine and the others I've seen and have first hand experience with.

Michael Bane mentioned it on his weekly podcast, probably 18-24 months ago.

The issue definitely exists in military guns, and not with BS optics. I have yet to see a report from the non-Mil side. I have no idea why.

You have to heard of one. A buddy of mine wanted me to test his counter sniper. The Counter Sniper did not like it.

During a recent conversation with a SME from these boards, I was told the SCAR has a more pronounced recoil impulse due to its piston operating system, which was said to be the reason behind optics getting beat up.

Lightweight rifle, heavy bolt, 7.62x51 = heavy recoil impulse imparted to anything attached to the receiver.

Quite believable/possible.

Ya well they fit a spot in the market. Not what I want to spend money on though.

Not a 17s, but my 16s caused a Surefire M600a head to fail.
