Sig MCX Spear vs FN Scar 17: Battle of the Best 308s 

Rifle I could never afford #1 vs Rifle I could never afford #2

You 100% have to review the .308 JAKL when you can get one.

I own the HK MR762A1, LMT L129A1, KAC SR25, FN SCAR 17s NRCH, and SIG MCX SPEAR (308). They are all fantastic! The people who say one is better than the other have never shot all of them. I have more than 3k rounds through all of them except for the MCX SPEAR(I’ve only had it a few months) and they are all fantastic. None of them do anything better than the others, they all are great. The people in here talking bad about FN have never put enough rounds and probably never actually owned one. When you buy a gun you should enjoy it and have fun not try to shit on it because it’s not perfect for you. Every one of these have downfalls. Please 2a community just enjoy what you are able to purchase and have fun!

This channel is reaching ridiculous levels of coolness

I have both. I would go with the Scar 17 in most situations.

I recently got the Scar 17s DMR 6.5 creedmoor. It's awesome to say the least. Shooting sub moa at 300 yards.

Having been a hunter for many years with my favorite being the 270 can't wait to see and hear about the 277

Hi Chris thank you always for amazing videos.

On the Spear, if you use the side charging handle and it's locked back, make sure to push it forward. Otherwise when you close the bolt it'll fly forward and if your finger is there, it will cut the crap out of it. Speaking from experience

Oh please add a third in there: B&T APC-308 pro

I’ll wait for the .308 JAKL

This channel Is one of the most trustworthy channels.

Another point in favor of the Spear is that Sig said they would be releasing barrels in multiple lengths in 6.5 Creedmoor and .277 Fury for it. But they haven't yet. If they ever do the ease of changing a barrel on the Spear will make it that much better than it already is. I think they even said all three calibers can run on the same springs so all you need to change is the barrel. Same bolt, same recoil springs. If I am remembering correctly.

The .277 seems like a whole different world of velocity and accuracy compared to the .308. I looove 308, but recent review and tests of the 277 have me excited.

Really enjoyed, love that scar, thanks

Awesome review, as usual!! Please consider reviewing the Aero Precision M5 in .308 someday.

Another great video champ.

Thank you, my Iowa brother!

I grabbed a used Multi Cam Scar 17 with the Geissele trigger and 2 mags for 2,800. I love the thing. Threw an Acog on in, KAC vertical grip and Harris Bipod and went for the MK17 look.

Honest outlaw has to be my favorite character in the “gun review” type RU-vid channels. I have referenced you for dozens of people in real life and online and they really like your “10 guns for xxx$” videos . Really helps put into perspective prices of firearms for newbies in general. If you have no idea what a firearm is man or woman, check out honest outlaw.

Sold my scar 17 for DD in 308, i had extra i bought magazines and ammunition with

Once again the Robinson Armament XCR-M gets overlooked.

Impressed about the lack of comments in the review about the difference in weigth. With the MCX you're paying extra for a rifle which is 20 years younger yet is way heavier...

love ur videos...keep it up

Liked the idea of this review before I ever began watching!

8:27 That muzzle brake does AMAZING in terms of providing 556 recoil managment. I must admit, I should probably get one.

The Stag 10 definitely belongs in this conversation.

Online ill admit that the spear is the better gun to buy these days, but if you catch me at the range with my scar that has enough upgrades on it to buy a spear ill defend it till my death.

Great video!!! Would love to see you throw a Robinson Arms XCR-M and a B&T APC 308 into the mix. Maybe make it a fiver and put the new 308 jakl into fight when it hits the market. Would love to hear your opinion on the last 3 and how they compare to the two heavy weights in this video.

Thanks, Chris~

Really good video Chris. Where is the 308 ace?

I like the SCAR as well

I love the scar... but I also dumped a ton of money into it... so I have to really love it. Tuned the gas system with jets from pmm and it shoots like a dream!

I need that sig

Both the Sig MCX Spear and the FN Scar 17 bring their A-game, but for me, it's all about that balance of accuracy, reliability, and handling.

LMT 308: Allow me to introduce myself...

That hybrid finish on that scar is mint 👌

Please do a review of the Robinson Arms XCR (exchangeable caliber rifle) in whatever caliber you want

Love my Scar. I'll have to borrow an MCX to see what's up.

I got a SCAR tor an absolutely amazing price so i might be biased when i say im in love with it

I like the Tavor 7

MORE DMR VIDEOS PLEASE!!! Do a review of the PSA Sabre M110A1 i am curious of your opinion on it

5:28 having seen firearms fail due to absolutely insignificant crap in the bolt lock up and not being able to open them. I love the fact that I can kick the shit out of my charging handle to get my gun to function instead of having a multi thousand dollar club. I like this on both the AK and the scar.

You can change barrels pretty easily on a scar is four bolts. There are aftermarket rails other than midwest industries that are very good plus kns precision makes and adjust with gas block with like 20 settings. These are extra cost of course

Man id love a see a large comparison of semi auto 308s. B&T LMT LARUE 308 SPEAR PTR91 BREN 2 308 (only for law enforcement and military) Bula m14 (if you know you know)

Robinson Armament XCR-M

Ehh...I think the POF-USA Revolution DI (or the Piston variant), got these beat. The DI version with a 16.5" barrel in .308 are just 6.8 Lbs. Very reliable, and come with a ton of features. You can also get them in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Love my Aero Precision .308 I built. I put a ultradyne comp on it and it really flattened it out. Soft shooter.

Sr25 master race

I own both of these. The scar has a cool factor that will never be topped, it’s a pure drip, but it’s antiquated. The spear is much better to live with. If the spear is a 9.8, the scar is a 9.4 for me. The scar can’t be suppressed well and voids your warranty. It eats optics. Mags are basically proprietary. The scar tax is real. But it is forever cool.

Definitely would have been nice to get your hands on a 277

Honest Outlaw, I have purchased the Faro scar stock adapter. So far has your given you any problems, I love the way it looks.

Would like to know where you find the HK MR762 fits in this picture

@honestoutlaw I’m a huge fan of the POF ar10, it’s piston driven, very light weight, fully ambi, adjustable gas block and is in the mid 2k’s. Have you trued it yet?

After trying all 3, I personally like my Galil ACE in 308 best (and WAY cheaper than both).

Maybe an XCR-M in the verse mix?

Not gonna lie I’ve been wanting the 13” spear. I’ve been wanting a sbr in 308 so bad. A small powerful package that’s still capable at distance.

Totally made me want to check out the MCX!

The XCR is knocking at the door

Probably not the best, but the Zastava M77 is personally my favorite .308.

The 101st just got their M7s. The Army seems to be returning to the concept of every rifleman a DM and let the machineguns perform the suppressive fire role.

Review the MP-10 its been 100% reliable!

The SCAR has an interesting recoil impulse from the size of the bolt. Its like and up down feeling but if you time it right, the down goes right back where it was before the shot.

No POF Revolution?

The 308 is cool, but watch some of the 277fury vids and it’s amazing. Fast and damage heavy

Id like to see you add the ruger sfar to this comparison

Waiting for the PSA Jakl

My Collection item!

Do love me a .308 rifle.

There is no way in hell I'd volunteer to beta test a modern, made-in-the-US Sig product over an FN SCAR.

Hey man, love your channel. If you ever have the time and inclination, I'd love to see a review of the S&W Performance Center Model 327 TRR8. I'd like to get my hands on a good 8-shooter, and it would be nice to see if the 327 is as good or better with that 8" barrel compared to the standard 2".

The better 308 is Galil 308. It will out last both of these rifle and better reliability. I have all 3 rifles. I would grab galil any day for SHTF

IWI Tavor 7 is still my favorite.

I own a number of 308 semi-auto rifles including Armalite, PSA, LMT, KAC, FN SCAR 17s and 20, and the Sig Spear. My thoughts: -A "quick change" barrel is just silly. It introduces a failure point where it is not needed. If one wants a different caliber, simply push two pins and replace the upper, or grab a different rifle entirely. -Accuracy wise: KAC, LMT, FN,: All more accurate than me and sub moa in my experience. The PSA and Armalite are more for plinking and don't have the accuracy of the others, but are perfectly acceptable for hunting and defensive applications at a fraction of the cost. -I feel a disadvantage of the SCAR is the FN mags. They're fairly pricey and proprietary. The others take P-Mags and Lancers. M-14/M1A mags are also proprietary, along with the HK-762. This just makes the FN, HK, and M1A more expensive, although I do own them.

Mag pull ctr and larue risr. It slides with the charging handle which is genius IMO

I lean towards the MCX for its versatility and sleek design, but the Scar's reputation for ruggedness is hard to ignore.

MR762 and the Galil Ace Gen2 308

Review the POF Rogue 13.75 P&W 308

4K for most of us poors is just a bridge too far! This is why the JAKL will outsell both of these combined!

The SCAR also has proprietary magazines

I want the Spear over the SCAR anytime. Ever since FN switched to the non reciprocating charging handle that helped significantly, but from a parts standpoint I choose the Spear

I don't care for either of the above rifles, but I do have an LMT MWS 308 (L129A1), which is multi-caliber via a quick barrel change and very accurate. The only downfall of the LMT is the weight, which does help with recoil and as a SASS it's an outstanding rifle.

Agreed on the ugg boot stock. 10 seconds of sawing the first 2 inches of a Magpul cheek riser and you're gtg.

I have a Scar 17S with over 4500 rds down the pipe. I know I can depend on it out to 750 yards before the transonic wobble. Even with all those rounds she still groups 1-1.25MOA at 100. I am curious what the accuracy and ballistics of the MCX is at 750 yards and at 100 yards.

To bad we can’t have none of them in Illinois 😢

Really need to do a vs with mcx spear light vs the Cz bren ms2

I've always loved SCAR, but in the end, I just liked the Sig Spear rifle more. I also have a soft spot for Sig Sauer. I've always loved their guns. I also have a problem of being different. If every one prefers one top choice over another, I always end up going for the one that isn't the choice for some. Not by choice for me, just how it works out. The brain plays tricks on ya. One day I could end up with a SCAR as well. But, this Sig is so sexy. I just picked mine up. I like the weight and everything else about it. Plenty of reviews that like it convinced me it's worth the money. Being kidless and single forever, why not? Not gonna live forever anyways.

Spear!!!

I think a Scar in .277 would be my pick. Hopefully someone makes a conversion kit at some point. If FN could bring down the price to be more competitive with all the scar clones, then the rifle would be perfect.

I will take a Bullpup .308 instead thank you. But great Video!

I'm liking the XCR over both....

M1A the muscle car of semi .308

I'll keep my PSA 110A. For $1300, you can't go wrong

Can u do a review on the PSA JAKL 556

If we are doing comparisons now how bout one with the MPX vs the Dissent?

I have the sig tread snakebite se in 308. It’s an ar10. A lot cheaper and works for what I need it. If I got one of these it be the sig. I hate the scar just ugly heavy and not my thing. The only other sig I will buy is the 300 blk out rattler or whatever the new version is called.

I know you can not compare all the dmr, but the HK G28 ot whatever the name the us army version uses for sniper and DMR seem to be a good alternative, piston driven, free floating barrel etc. What do you rhink about it?

It seems cool and like a pretty good gun by man I just can't see the Spear being the new US Military service rifle. Maybe the LT version but I feel like we have an AK-12 situation here. Where we have a very hyped up rifle used by a military only for it to fail spectacularly

A lot of guys have mentioned the LMT 308 in the comments so far (awesome rifle), any interest in a head to head with a POF 308, either the piston or gas variant?

Try using the LaRue Tactical RISR™ (Reciprocating Inline Stock Riser)
