The upfront cost of the SCAR 17 is a bit much, but nothing crazy compared to quality AR 308s (and I’m not just talking about KAC/Noveske). What gets me is the price of parts like a replacement barrel. $1k-1.5k for a barrel? Seriously?

Battle field Vegas changed an barrel and a hammer in the midst of 200k rounds. Dont worry about it.
Lol ok sureBro, I can afford them. I choose not to, because I don't have a use for them. I also don't get winded looking silly trying to defend my purchases to strangers on the internet.

Lol ok sure
Look I don’t care about what anyone thinks on here about what I buy and don’t buy... if I want to buy an expensive rifle that is more reliable and runs cleaner then the AR platform then I will and if someone chooses to buy a budget rifle then, what ever thats your decision... but don’t nit pick the scar on the color or the trigger or the stock and say those are the reasons you are not buying lol when really everyone knows the real reason $$
Who’s winded ? Lol
Wow I am super impressed. I never said you had an issue with those things, but a lot of people state those as reasons.... so settle down
Maybe you need a breath ?
I am plenty settled. Why do you get so worked up about people taking issue with a rifle in a free market?
Lol trust me I am not worked up...
Maybe if the SCAR platform ever makes it to general issue the price might drop.
Yeah, but if I want a different barrel length or caliber, there’s an additional 30-50% of the cost of the rifle. It’s a major consideration.
Also, less importantly, what precision degradation did they see at 200k? 100k? 50k? Even long lasting chrome lines barrels usually go to 20k, maybe up to 40k rounds. That’s still a lot and would likely last the lifetime of the gun for many people. But claiming 200k lifespan is bold. I imagine Battlefield Vegas doesn’t care how large the groups get.

Lol trumpet exhaustThe scar wasnt designed or built to be an Ar15, its not designed to be torn apart and have pretty overpriced parts slapped on. It's a purpose built rifle. That's all the Ar15 is nowadays, it's a Honda civic with nice rims and a trumpet for an exhaust, 100% tacticool. You want different calibers then by all means, the scar isnt for you, nobody is forcing you. Just dont come up with stupid reason not to get one and question why others would spend the coin.

At the end of the day it is a semiautomatic rifle. It is arguably no more or less effective then any other semiauto rifle chambered the same way. An M80 or M193 ball projectile is going to fly at the same velocity and with the same amount of accuracy as a 16" gas gun. Whether or not you prefer the piston over a gas tube is like arguing V8 over turbo V6 or some shit, one is cleaner, one is softer, one is more reliable then the other. Once you get past the BaTtLe RiFlE iNnA hIlLs Of ThE 'sTan thing, they both do the job with their own short falls.
SCAR dudes really lose their minds over these conversations, it's something else.
Lol hp lifestyleI think it's way more than just SCAR owners. Get in the wrong circles and it could be HK Glock Taurus Beretta Mensturation and Pee shield blah blah
etc so on. even High Point owners. (they like jerk off about skinflinting and make fun of people who "paid too much" for their gun, etc because the HP lifestyle is all about the flinting ) It's like some kind of a weird fetish or something. If we were talking about building a house it would be like someone running around obsessing about how their hammer was the best or something and anyone who said otherwise was basically a full on heretic...
I can hear it now. "Mommy! jimmy says that estwing sucks and I should have a stanley!"

The old straw-man "unreliable AR" has been played out and proven false.I don’t care what anyone thinks.... point is it always comes down to price.... and a scar is more reliable then the AR ..
