Our Assessment: The FN SCAR 17S RCH (reciprocating charging handle)  with a 16 ¼”  barrel is a modern, semi-automatic battle rifle known for its exceptional versatility, reliability, and robust design. Developed by FN Herstal, the SCAR 17S is the civilian version of the SCAR-H (Heavy) used by military and special operations forces worldwide. Chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester), this rifle offers significant stopping power and accuracy, making it a top choice for enthusiasts looking for a high-performance, multi-role rifle. The SCAR 17S features a short-stroke gas piston operating system, which is renowned for its reliability and ease of maintenance, particularly in harsh conditions. This system reduces fouling in the action compared to direct impingement systems, resulting in smoother and more consistent operation, even after extended use. The 16 ¼”  barrel strikes a balance between accuracy and maneuverability, providing excellent performance out to medium and longer ranges while keeping the rifle compact enough for easier handling in tighter spaces
