Since y’all liked my CQB rifle, here’s my long range / deer rifle.
FN SCAR 17S, which is the .308 version of the 16S (5.56) and without most of the feed and reliability issues that plague the 16S.
.308 is almost twice the price of 5.56 and, while not uncommon particularly among deer hunters, it isn’t nearly as ubiquitous as 5.56. I’ll probably stock more .308 than 5.56. The SCAR 17S ain’t cheap, but if you’re not opposed to the reciprocating charge handle, it’s a nice firearm.
