FN SCAR-H PR (Precision Rifle) DMR in the wild

I just noticed that the SCAR-H PR, like the H&K G28 DMR, lacks weight-saving cut-outs in the handguard (other than the cut out for access to the gas system), yet the prototype included cut-outs. I wonder why they were removed.

    Another good reason for the longer rail could be the more forward position of the bipod, which helps stability. (the more rearwards you support the rifle, the more your movements are amplified.)

    People, don't forget the growing market for lighter semi-auto long-rage precision firearms as such. . .
