Scar 16s...?

[blaxsun]

So... did anyone ever get their SCAR 16s - or is everyone still waiting for h**l to freeze over at the RCMP labs?

Is this what hell looks like???

Had a great laugh at that image! The way things are going, we'll probably see the FN FNAC civilian variant before the Scar.. which would be OK since they made the charging handle non-reciprocating!

I think that's Saskatchewan.

I friggin wish they would allow approve them already. Its the last great hope of a light, reliable, accurate, non restricted (with the proper length barrel) rifle in this country. All the others are either inaccurate (2MOA +) or heavy (ACR).

Kudos for hanging in there... (if you still are, that is). I'm holding out for the Beretta ARX-160. Apparently it's only 6.6-6.8lbs...

Nope I pulled the pin along time ago but still hoping they get approved and then attempt to import some in the future.

I second the ARX-160, I just wish we could get an update on the expected release dates and msrp.

2013 in the US with a (very) tentative price of $1,500 USD; both subject to change, of course...

Good to know, I'll just keep saving my pennies and hope that everything works out according to plan.

I'm still hanging in there - I figured what's another year or two waiting

There is only so much stalling that the RCMP can do.

Yeah, they can always just prohibit it outright, too...

maybe ACR is a better option , the non-restricted is on the way

You know, when I saw that image I thought, "there's gotta be a good place to shoot near there". I guess I've got a shooting addiction.

That extra weight is the biggest downfall of the ACR to me. Lose the barrel change feature and I bet it comes alot closer to the SCAR in weight. I think the barrel change feature is a useless gimic. I would rather just change out the whole upper which is quicker and you don't have to rezero. The charging handle is an annoyance but I can live with it if it saves a pound of weight.

The new light profile barrels from Bushmaster supposedly make a noticeable difference. But I agree; the ACR2 without the ratchet assembly is apparently just over 6lbs...
