I have more than 2000 rounds through mine mostly with a Surefire SOCOM suppressor. I use a Kahles 1-6x in an ADM Delta mount (which is the SCAR specific optics mount). Love it to death. Zero issues. Need to shoot more.
Only gripe is the lack of a shoulder on the end of the barrel for mounting a suppressor. You have to invert the Surefire washer or use a KBB shoulder ring sold by PMM. I check alignment with a 7.62 suppressor rod after each time I shoot.
This thread is interesting. So my very small perspective. I worked at a range that also rented out guns and the SCAR H was one of our most popular guns, mind you this was from 2012-2014. Having said that, I've seen a Delton go well into 30k rounds before finally start to keyhole, with only replacing the o-rings and ejector every 5k rounds. The Scar worked great. The only time we had issues was the reciprocating bolt handle which did damage a lot of thumbs, and the stock catch slowly wearing to the point where it would fold if bumped hard enough. I would say, and I do not have the round count sheets, but we probably had 4-5k rounds through the Scar during that time, which is more than I have put through any of my AR-10's, but this was also in an indoor range where conditions were optimal.
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”
Their are two rifle caliber long guns in a high state of readiness in my place. A suppressed sig 553 SBR and a suppressed scar 17 SBR. The scar SBR is shockingly accurate. Would be a very good host for that new vortex 1 to 10.
Well I haven't been here in a bit.... Would you all like the brain dump on the SCAR?
I have had mine for a good number of years, blazing away with PMC and German military surplus .308. Always supressed with my surefire socom. The gun is a beast. For years I had a Trijicon Vcog but I dumped it for a an ACOG just to because I prefer less fiddling and weight. No optics problems but I don't buy junk glass.
I miss this one!

Sold it after some panic and picked up some money. Regretted it and bought another one the next year. I have had this one about 5 years. Just runs and runs.

Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”
