MrPaul Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 Hi my name's Paul....and I build lots of ARs....some of them .308....so I joined this forum.
MrPaul Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Posted July 18, 2017 The last one I built in .308 was made to be light weight. 6.7 lbs without the scope.
MrPaul Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Posted July 18, 2017 Hoping to learn a lot. There seems to be lots of very knowledgeable folks on here. I've built a ton of smaller frame rifles but I'm kind of a newb to the large frame platform. I've built a few of them but they are all simple. All of my large frame builds so far have Dpms compatible upper and lower with jp drive trains. I would like to learn about other brands and components.

Smaller, lighter, and out shoots my scar 17 by a mile....and it doesn't eat scopes. We'll see how the warrhogg lower holds up. Its got about 600 rounds through it with no issues so far. A big howdy how y'all to everyone. Edited July 19, 2017 by MrPaul
MrPaul Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Posted July 19, 2017 Like a dingo in a nursery. 1 leupold mark 4 twice and 1 vortex razor hd once. The turrets would just stop working on the leupold and the razor got to the point where it wouldn't hold its zero. It now sits with an eotech on it. Both companies have great customer service and fixed them but I'm lost as to what to put on it. Thinking maybe an swfa 3x15 ffp. They claim to be rated for 50 cal.

From what I understand, thats pretty much par for the course for the scar 17. The moral of the story is... If you like your scope...don't put it on your scar heavy. The bcg is big and heavy. When it slams forward it screws up your scope.
