Korth 357 or SCAR 17?

[Huntolive]

I had a prior post here about possibly getting a Korth
I own at least 4 Smith & Wesson 357 of good quality three Dan Wesson revolvers each with three barrels each , Colt Python, 3-in Colt King Cobra with barrels in total arranging from 3 in to 8 in with most being 6 in versions.

However the price of Korth is really kind of outrageous even when compared to the high price of a scar 17.
I figured that when I have my other revolvers in single action there really won't be any big advantage to the Korth.

Likewise I have a good collection of semi-automatic 308s of 5 varieties: Galil Ace, Tavor, AR 10, FNAR etc
and yet the scar 17 is still calling to me

I can get one for under $3,200 and it looks like the cheapest k o r t h i could buy would be at least 4,000 that I would like.

At this time I can only afford one.

Doesn't it seem like a scar 17 at 3200 is one hell of a better buy in terms of capabilities and added value than a korth at 4,000?

Thoughts?

I would choose the SCAR. If I was going to spend an outrageous amount of money as you put it on a revolver I’d rather take something I already own and have some custom work done to it. The SCAR would fit right in with your other battle rifles and sort of make that collection closer to completion.

My personal opinion would be the Korth. One can always use a good quality wheel gun. But you are the one who is going to be using this so what are you most likely to use most often. That would be the driving thought on my decision.

"yet the scar 17 is still calling to me"

there's your answer

If it was me (and feel free to buy me one!), Scar easy.

I like wheelguns ok but rarely shoot them, the rifle I'd shoot all the time.

Korth. Just because. Unless things really go south, one is much more likely to need a handgun than an rifle.

Korth. More fun.

For that kind of money I would go with the Korth. Personally the SCAR just doesn't do anything for me. I would rather have the precision made revolver.

Personally not a fan of the SCAR series. I've shot both the 16 and the 17, but I'd far prefer a quality AR15 build or an M1A respectively.
Of the two options I'd go for the Korth. You can never go wrong with a nice revolver in my book. Granted I'd likely spend the money on a Mateba 6, but I'm weird that way.
