Is this SCAR 17s non-reciprocating?

No, this UPC corresponds to the older reciprocating charging handle model. It appears that Buds' has yet to actually upload a picture or product information but the NRCH model should be listed here. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/139815/fn+herstal+985412+scar+17s+nrch+762x51mm+nato+1625+20%2b1+flat+dark+earth+anodized+rec+flat+dark+earth+folding+adjustable+stock

Dong, I would request that Buds Customer Service get the specs of this batch of rifles from their Inventory Dept. at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

I would like to know If this rifle can be sent to New Jersey

George, unfortunately , no Sir. Restrictions 2, 4, 5 apply along with the 20rd Magazine (10rd limit) in NJ. Details under Rifles here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_jersey_restrictions.pdf

George, you cannot legally own this gun in the Peoples Republik of NJ, too many 'evil' features. Collapsible / Folding Stock, pistol grip, flash hider, threaded barrel, and that's not even counting the 20rd magazine. As a NJ resident, I feel your pain. https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_jersey_restrictions.pdf

Sorry but unfortunately this is definitely not legal in new Jersey. Sorry and hope this helps.

No, this is not legal in NJ, and from the digging around i did it doesn't look like they make a version of the SCAR that is legal in NJ, for 308 you'd have to look at an AR10 in a NJ legal configuration. Or if caliber doesn't matter they make an IWI Tavor in 556 that is NJ compliant. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/108917/iwi+us+inc+tavor+x95+556nato+18+10rd+black --------------- They also make a Tavor in 308 but I couldn't find a compliant version of that one either.

how many magz come with the rifle?

Sebastian, this rifle includes (1) 20rd detachable box magazine Sir.

According to research, unless bought under different circumstances, this comes with 1 magazine. Magazines are readily available, though. It was my pleasure to assist you.

Does anyone know how you get the price for this? Tried price on request keeps taking me to a XDS 9mm. And when I asked there chat rep received no help.

Does this gun have same barrel as 62608?

This SCAR 17S features a free-floating, cold hammer-forged MIL-SPEC barrel with hardchromed bore.

Is there a military discount for qualified professionals on this product.

Hi David, unfortunately not at this time. Here is Buds list of all QP firearms: https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/1799/Qualified+Professional+Discounts

In this case I add it to my cart and proceed to a "mock checkout" (you don't confirm till last page). And I look at the total to see if there was a discount awarded, if not I close out and remove item from my cart. Sometimes (if not all) its offered me the cash price even when I use credit. So you may get a cash price discount. I'd try and cancel if it offers you nothing.

Great rifle. Lightweight and accurate. What else is there to say, it's a SCAR

I love this rifle. (I'm making myself love this rifle since I've put a small mortgage into it). It is very accurate and reliable. I've had no issues whatsoever. But it has been a money pit for me over the past year. Be prepared to upgrade the trigger. I definitely didn't like the stock trigger. It was terrible. I didn't like the proprietary magazine deal. So upgraded to handl defense lower. Hmmmm more money out the door. Put a Midwest fore-end on it to make it look cool. Put a Vortex Razor on it and now it is a perfect setup for me. I could've bought a nice used truck for what I've put into this.... And now the kicker... now my wife wants one just like it..... sigh... I guess I will give her mine and start over on a new one in the near future. A happy wife is a happy life.

Another great purchase from Buds. Rifle shipped fast and price was very competative. This rifle has been performing great, with no issues or malfunctions.

Great job on Buds end. The rifle............is AWESOME!!! If you enjoy firearms and the respect what the 308 can do, you will not be disappointed. Had to wait years to get my hands on this thing. Not disappointed in any way. Geissele trigger is recommended, other than that its great. Don't blow your house payments on it, but if you can, buy one and enjoy it!

Wow, what else can I say except that. The Scar 17 is the ultimate 308 battle rifle. I've only been able to shoot it out to 200 yards but it did not disappoint. Eats all kinds of ammo without a glitch. If you can get your hands on one do it. It's the only rifle you'll ever need.

Truly an awesome gun! As always buds got it shipped out fast and it was at my dealer within a couple of days and picked up! This gun is high quality and no other .308 semi auto compares to this one. Yeah it's pricy but well worth it!!!

Thoroughly awesome gun. Accurate and lightweight for a .308. If I had to carry a rifle all day this would be my choice. The one thing I would like to see is FN utilize the barrel change option to provide shooters with alternative calibers and barrel lengths. For the money they should have also thrown in the tool kit that shows up on the internet at outrageous prices. At least make the tool kit available as an option. They certainly provided lots of accessories for the PS90 so I don't see why they don't with the SCAR's.

This rifle kicks butt works flawlessly through 200 plus rounds no problems. Not cheap but worth the money. I was expecting a heavy rifle but this is one of the lightest I have in this format. If you can find one buy it. Another flawless transaction through Buds

This gun is extremely nice. Hands down my current favorite gun to go shoot, minus the ammo bill that goes along with it. FN makes some superior products, granted they do come at somewhat of a superior price tag. However, I am a strong believer in you get what you pay for. Only issue I have currently is the trouble trying to find extra mags in stock. When you do find them they are a bit pricey, but then again what isn't pricey about this setup. If I had to make the decision all over again I'd make this exact same purchase which in my book says a lot for a product. If you can afford it pull the trigger, you won't be sorry you did! Thanks Buds.

The best rifle I own. I love this thing and so does anyone I have let shoot it. FN got it right.
