SCAR 17 or HK 762-Fast advice!!!!

There was always a chance that OP was scammed, but he decided to not clarify if that was the case. His choice.

I had asked him about it before he bailed on us, and he replied by PM. I will pm it to you if you're still curious, since you were the one who caught it in the first place.

Go ahead. From sheer curiosity, not that I plan to dwell on that.

BTW This MR308A3-28 is really, really nice rifle. I would get one myself if I could afford that.

Question: does the H&K 417 family of rifles use the now standard-ish Knight's pattern magazines? I seem to have read and was under the impression that they (H&K 417) use proprietary magazines.

My first time using that tapatalk feature, so let me know if it didn't come through correctly.

Proprietary magazine.

As previously noted, proprietary; however, Spuhr makes a lower that takes the KAC patterned magazines:

Are these actually for sale in the US or vaporware? I'll also note the lower would be considered a firearm, unlike the SCAR lower.

The upper fore end rail is available, have not seen the lower available anywhere from the usual suspects

Congratulations on an excellent purchase. Looking forward to hear how it shoots. Please do post pictures.
Did you select an optic? What is your primary use/distances etc? I'd look at a nightforce 2-10x but sometimes more magnification helps older eyes or at longer distances.

Too late, but I would have said, go SCAR. The SCAR 17 fits my intended use more than the HK. The HK is just a heavy pig from my perspective. The SCAR is light and the recoil is easy. I can plink cans with a SCAR as if I were shooting an AR. Settling down with match ammo, produces excellent groups. I did a 20 shot group off a bi-pod in 3 moa with most shots much closer to one moa. 5 shot groups inside 1 moa with FACTORY 168gr OTM. It's a sweet all around rifle which is why they are popular.

I like the SCAR 17 so much I bought a second one.
