I've been looking over a very nice Steyr scout rifle in 308, stainless threaded barrel. Then it occurred to me, what can this rifle do that my SCAR 17 can't? OK, I'll bite, JAM.
I've heard the Steyr is quite accurate, but so is the SCAR. Lightweight, same. Ammo capacity, about the same, no reload for SCAR. OK, the stock opening to a bipod is way cool, advantage Steyr. Recoil: SCAR I know well, very little. I've found bolt 308s have more recoil than the SCAR but nothing crazy, who knows with a lightweight bolt gun.
Price wise it doesn't matter since I already own the SCAR, would these two complement each other? Sell the SCAR, buy the Steyr? Stay put?
Thanks THR.
