Yup. A quality midlength is the right choice. Well done. I like my SCAR and have no plans of ditching it, but to be honest I still prefer my M4.
I think you made the right choice. A quality LW middy and plenty of $ left over for ammo.

I have 3 5.56 rifles. A colt 6940, an XCR, and a SCAR. When its running and guning I like my Colt. If I had to run out the door with 1 rifle into the apocolypse and rely on pissing on the weapon for lube and hope the f'er doesnt brake, Id grab the SCAR. After I make a few changes to the XCR it would be in the same catagory. But based on my general impressions of each, the SCAR seems to me to be the one that could take the most neglect/abuse if I ended out in the world with no support for any rifle.
No I wont buy a peasent rifle! (AK)![]()
Sort of, there is a little more to the story. One of the main reasons SOCOM did not go with the SCAR L had to do with how money is allocated between the Regular forces and SOCOM. If they went with the SCAR L they would have to purchase the weapons out of SOCOMs budget funds. If they kept the M4, they could just use regular Army issue units and not have to pay for it out of their budget. So expensive SCAR L or free M4? Being that the SCAR L was not leaps and bounds better and nearly the same, they could not justify losing the money when an M4 was free. The SCAR H is a different story. There is no regular Army equivalent.
That is what I heard also and from what I know of the Army it makes sense (as the reason). It is interesting what units are willing to spend their own funds on vs. someone else's budget!Sort of, there is a little more to the story.

Also pretty much the same reasoning given in this thread for civilian AR purchase vs. the SCAR. Not a big enough improvement over the M4 to justify the cost...and hard to get parts/maintenance support.

Can you blame SOCOM? That is a lot of money they could spend on other weapon systems and fun stuff. Why piss money in the wind? Best save that money to outfit them with 7.62 weapons that offer real knock down power.
I got two words for you, Larue Tactical...
