| Just curious what kind of accuracy yall are getting with your 17 at 100 yards. |

My old handloads developed for a custom Sako I have. Works pretty good in my SCAR too I'd say. http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u196/jaflowers/40650d1444093057t-finished-scar-range-results-2015-10-05-18_26_06_zpsw3hvxm09.jpg Care to share the details

| I'll echo this, I consider myself a good shooter (don't we all), and resting on an improvised rest with a geissele trigger and TA-11, I can do 3-5 shot groups of about 1.5 MOA with good precision-oriented factory ammo, and about 2.5 with good ball ammo. I'd wager I could subtract .5 MOA from that with a high power optic from a solid rest, but I've never done it so can't confirm that suspicion. |
| A few months ago a guy poster that he bought a new Scar17 and wanted to see what it was capable of. He bought like 10 differant types/brands of ammo and did a detailed report. It's was very informative. It would be great if one of you could find that post for us. I tried but my ability to search sucks. |

Are you guys having better results with heavier bullets (168gr) or the lighter bullets (125-130gr). I was thinking I read that the SCAR17 prefers the lighter bullets because of it's twist. In most of the accuracy postings on FNForum it seems that bullets 175 grain and under are best for the SCAR's twist rate. |

Just curious what kind of accuracy yall are getting with your 17 at 100 yards. Match prepped handloads shoot .75 MOA. My bulk loaded Hornady 150 gr ball make 1.5 MOA. Similar results. Though PMC 147 gr shoots like 3 MOA out of mine. That seems to be an outlier, which is unfortunate because it's readily available on sale usually. |
| I'd say mine is a solid 1.25 MOA rifle with match ammo. Haven't measured groups with M80 ball, but seemed like it was hitting what I aimed at. I was getting close to MOA groups with handloads but I moved on to another caliber before I really got anything developed for it. |
| It seems like mine shoots average 2 MOA groups at 100 with almost anything I put in it. That's on bags front/rear with nightforce 22x scope for testing. 5 shot groups. Best so far was with FGMM 168 - 1.5 MOA. While the groups are a bit larger than I like, it has been super consistent. I did notice that POI has been nearly identical for everything tested - surplus and match. Something I've never experienced before. |
