FNH SCAR-17s : When UGGs, pistons, and .308s Collide

About this video

Colion reviews the FN SCAR 17S rifle, sharing his perspective on its design, ergonomics, and performance characteristics. He argues that while AR-15s dominate the market, the SCAR 17S offers a refreshing alternative with its distinctive looks and surprisingly light recoil for a .308 platform. Colion breaks down the gun’s strengths—including its weight balance, ambidextrous controls, and manageability—while acknowledging criticisms like the reciprocating charging handle and high price point.

Key takeaways

• Colion teaches that the SCAR 17S manages .308 recoil exceptionally well despite being one of the lightest rifles in its class at 8 pounds
• According to Colion, the rifle’s ergonomics—including the adjustable stock and natural weight balance—make it comfortable and intuitive to operate in various positions
• Colion notes the SCAR 17S carries a premium price ($2,500-$2,800) with proprietary magazines, but he considers it a top choice for a piston-driven .308 platform
