The FN SCAR 20S delivers precision shooting capabilities in a battle-proven platform chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. This non-reciprocating charging handle variant combines the reliability of the military SCAR system with features optimized for civilian precision shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
Built on FN's field-tested SCAR architecture, this rifle features a non-reciprocating charging handle that stays stationary during firing, reducing shooter distraction and improving scope mounting options. The 20-inch cold hammer-forged barrel provides enhanced velocity and accuracy compared to standard 16-inch variants. The modular design allows extensive customization while maintaining the inherent reliability that made the SCAR platform a military standard.
