POTD: FN SCAR 20S
Picture Of Today is an FN SCAR 20S, being zeroed at the range.
This is a great photo. Almost so perfect you would think it is computer generated. Everything is put in place. Even the shooting mat is brand new and unused. I guess that’s what the marketing department is for?
The FN SCAR also looks “special”, almost like the colors and surface finishing is more metallic and “golden” than the original.
Most likely someone spent a lot of time in Photoshop, working the colors and layers.
The rifle scope is from Steiner, probably a 5-25 power. The bipod is an Atlas from B&T USA, a great one.
Take aim with the all-new FN SCAR 20S, the latest in battle-proven technology based on the legendary DNA of the 7.62-calibered MK 17 and MK 20 SSR. Perfectly calibrated for long-range precision fire, the SCAR 20S gives you the ability to engage targets nearing 800 yards with ease.The gas-operated piston design absorbs recoil efficiently to improve follow-up shots and maintain target acquisition.Lending further aid is the match-grade, two-stage trigger that breaks crisply at 3.5-4.5 pounds, full-length MIL-STD 1913 rail at 12 o’clock position, and fixed buttstock providing adaptability to fit to each user’s needs through adjustable length of pull and cheek rest height.
#FNFriday is all about zeroing in on the weekend. We see you, Saturday!
Do we have any FN SCAR aficionados here?
If so I look forward to seeing your comments below, please don’t be shy.

Thank you very much, FN, but my original SCAR 17S still serves me well and I'm in no need of an upgrade at nearly twice the price.
SCARs are indeed cool, well-designed, nicely manufactured and are a step up from the AR/M-16 platform and its various clones. But the reality is one can buy three very nice ARs for the price of one SCAR16 and the AR clones can put just as many rounds down range with as much accuracy as a SCAR.
I like my SCARs and they're tons of fun, but in all honesty, in light of the coming Storm, buy one AR-15 of your choosing and spend the rest of the money you save on ammo. Right now you can buy a factory assembled AR for about $400 to $500 and assemble one from a complete upper, registered lower and lower parts kit for close to $300! That's a lot of ammo you can buy.
Just sayin'.
Hey if it's good enough for the female model pictured it must be good enough for SOCOM...
