Hey question that has been bugging me ever since they came out..... Why is the gas block such a off color silver?

P.S. You ever have any trouble through your TA01NSN?

I believe it's so that you may clean it more easily and without damaging the finish.

I've not had any problem with m ACOG, why? Have you had issues with them?

Awesome review!!

Quick question, can you convert the same rifle from a 16 to a 17?

Nope, they don't use the same receiver or lower assembly. It would be nice if they did, but nope...

The SCAR looks great though. I havent picked one up but the gas block just bothered me, looking kinda silver compared to the rest of the gun. As for the TA01NSN, I had problems within 200 rounds and bad customer service. I would love to have a SCAR with the extended rail.

Rep added, good youtube channel.

I would love a SCAR-17S Heavy but the approx. $3000 price tag is a bit out of my budget.

I still would like one!

What were your problems with the TA01? Was it not holding zero? Just curious.

Wow man, I hope it works out for you. That sucks. I've owned quite a few Trijicon products over the last few years and have yet to get a bad one. That means I've never had to mess with their customer service... which seems to be a good thing.

I decided to give the Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 a try. They're new comers to the long range scope market but they have a great lifetime warranty and I've yet to find a bad review of them. Everyone says they're worth twice as much as they sell for. I paid $699 with shipping from Optics Planet. I will mount it via a Larue 104 quick detach mount.

I'm an old Leupold fan and I've also been a fan of Nightforce... I gave them a try when they were relative new comers years ago and they turned out to be top of the line. I'm hoping Vortex follows a similar path.

The PST has a zero stop and illuminated reticule which are features on scopes costing much more than I paid.

I'll let you guys know how the scope works out and how the SCAR shoots with proper glass on it.

FN is a top notch company, and they make top notch firearms!

I love my SCAR H!

I might copy you and try out that Vortex glass. I'd love to see a review when you put it on.

 

[poisonspyder]

loved the review!!! i just wish the price would come down. 2k would be a much better number and sell more units. were is the best place to pick one up here in indiana (price wise)?

 

[MilitaryArms]

They're hard to find, believe it or not. So most people buy them online and over pay just to have one. I bought mine from Blythes for $2700 which is only about $200 over MSRP. Some people are paying far more.

I'll let you know, I will post a review of the optic for sure.
