So I went up north last weekend to a friends cabin shooting. We had probably 10 different guns, finally a chance to shoot outside at a 300 yard range (I basically did all my shooting at 25-100 yards though as at 200 we got sick of running out to move targets). Sighted the SCAR in at 100 yards with Goodharts ACOG, this scope is pretty badass.
Here is the grouping at just over 100 yards, I was using a cooler to balance on, not the most stable thing, but I felt pretty good with this.

The gun is really starting to grow on me, I love it.
Found this out though this weekend...my buttstock lock broke off.

Ordered a new one though, it was 5 bucks lol.
Also put these on yesterday, present from LaRue tactical.

Now my picitanny doesn't feel like crap. I think i put 200 rounds through the SCAR, its good and broken in now. Felt awesome to MAG dump finally too!

That is a solid group for .223 at 100yds, basically 1 MOA. Now that you know the gun and ammo are pretty accurate, I say try improving your accuracy skills by not using the cooler to support the gun. Have you practiced accuracy in standing, seated, and prone positions? I find this the most fun part of shooting; using a bipod or some rest gets boring quick.
BTW, have you been shooting .223 or 5.56? Can't remember what ammo you picked up.
Edit: I can't wait to try out my new .308 that has been sitting in the case since January. Visiting my parent's house for my dad's birthday the weekend of March 23rd, he just bought a Savage bolt FCP-SR .308 too so it will be a good contest. I'm sure I'll lose lol.

Let us know how the shooting goes on the new .308, that is my next gun I think, a 308 bolt of some kind.
I have both .223 and 5.56, i even tried mixing them in the same clip, didn't seem to matter.
I did some sitting shooting, but I did a lot more standing/walking shooting with multiple targets and quick acquisition stuff. It was still easy to hit the targets but obviously groupings weren't really groupings at that fast speed. I was happy to just hit the targets.
Then I did some prairie dog target shooting at 100 yards and destroyed it lol.

I'm looking at getting a rifle in .308. Im looking at either a DSA FAL or building a .308 Saiga. I don't want an AR10. And cant afford a .308 scar lol.

So, I am debating about selling the SCAR right now. With spring coming, I don't think I can afford two expensive habbits, shooting and cars. I love the gun and don't regret buying it as its the one I always wanted, but I could use some extra scratch for car and house stuff.
I am like 50/50 if I will sell or not. I figured I would give locals a chance at it first and not totally sure on the price as of yet.
I did fix the butt stock lock too so its all good to go now. Clean and ready to rock!
I am probably going to get a .45 pistol for shooting and home defense if I sell it then use the extra money on other things and save some for a rainy day. I will buy another AR in the future but for now I don't use my SCAR enough to justify how much I paid for it.
If you are interested or might know anyone interested let me know please. Thanks guys.
I am not desperate to sell it either, so serious buyers only. I am ok to lose some money on the sale from what I paid but not a lot, they are still selling for VERY high prices.
