    It will probably be for more quick defense type shooting to 300 yds. Definately not a bench rifle. Just curious.

    If you don't like the factory furniture the aftermarket seems to be kicking in for the SCAR. Here are a couple products that caught my eye.

    I voted Noveske because that's what I bought but a personally spec'd BCM would be hard to beat.

    I have owned an N4 and it was very similar in accuracy to my SR15. Depending on the ammo used, they were pretty much even in terms of accuracy. I could get 1.25 - 1.50 moa out of either rifle easily. The N4 isn't a barrel designed for pure accuracy, so don't be misled. It is durable and accuracte for a chrome lined barrel, but not a sub-moa tack driver.

    Its hard to comment on rifles that I only have a few hundred rounds through (SCAR/SR15)... so with that said I have to choose the Noveske.

    I would set it up differently than your choice but thats simply a personal preference ...

    I have never owned or shot any of the above,,"but" to play along if I was going to BUY a complete rifle I would probably go with the KAC !! I have read alot about them & listened to guys on here talk about them & I believe they are great rifles !!! But with all that said,,I would much prefer to buy all my parts & piece's and put one together. But then thats just me,,,and there would be a good chance that there would be a Noveske BBL on it,,but then maybe a Centurion,,similar specs,,but less $$$ !! Ah,,decisions,,decisions !!

    I'm surprised that the SCAR 16 has received so few votes for hard use. Yes, I know that SOCOM (or whatever special forces) rejected it. But I thought that was largely tied to cost. Even if it is tied to cost, I'd imagine they would have sprung for the SCAR had it shown a true advantage over the M4 platfrom. They did spring for the SCAR 17s.

    I know some folks have remarkes that hthey would get none of the above. I understand. Colt and other top tiers are top notch. Part of the reason I chose these is for the additional features. KAC's right side bolt release, trigger, sling attachments, sights, bolt system, and HF barrel, and URX rail make it very appealing to me beyond the top tier category. I used to have a Noveske upper and was very impressed with it. Unfortunately, I got the recon barrel, and it just ended up being too heavy for my needs.

    I may decide to do a hybrid. That is, buy a KAC lower and slap a Noveske upper on it

    if we're gonna start talking about putting together the perfect gun, my answer would go from "colt," to something that contained zero colt parts. that changes everything.

    my problem with each of these manufacturers is that they each do one or two things that i consider fatally wrong, in a fighting gun. if you remove those one or two things, they jump up to "cream of the crop." i would imagine that a LOT of people would consider a kac lower, noveske upper, and bcm bcg about as close to a perfect firearm as you're gonna get. i'd leave out the kac lower, myself, since i don't use nor want ambi controls... but a noveske CHF barrel could very easily top out any list i'd make.
