I have a SCAR-17, a MR-762, FAL, Hk-91, etc. The SCAR isn't particularly hard recoiling. I certainly never noticed anything. I did notice that it was super handy to carry. I have owned my current one for 8+ years and I have yet to bust an optic. Now I have typically had Nightforce or Acog optics, no junk. My SAR-3 (a Greek HK-91) did manage to bust my Aimpoint M4 (nicely fixed by Aimpoint). I really don't understand all this recoil talk with regard to the SCAR. I will say different people are more recoil sensitive than others, but I feel like I would notice if it was remarkable.
I have been running a Surefire Socom for most of the 3+ K I have through the gun so I guess I am just lucky.
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.”
