The FN SCAR series of rifles was introduced in 2004 in response to a U.S. military request for a modular and adaptable firearms platform. Over the years, FN America has produced numerous variants based around the “Light” (5.56 NATO-size action) and “Heavy” (7.62 NATO-size action) rifles. New for 2023, the company is offering a limited edition of the SCAR 17S DMR chambered in 6.5 mm Creedmoor.

Built on the “heavy” SCAR platform, the 17S DMR uses a 16.25" cold-hammer-forged and chrome-lined barrel that is fully free-floated within a one-piece machined aluminum upper receiver that is chambered in 6.5 mm Creedmoor with a 1:8" twist rate. The action is the latest version of the SCAR’s short-stroke gas-piston operated with a low-flash adjustable gas regulator, dual non-reciprocating charging handles and bilateral controls.

To fit its designated marksman moniker, the rifle is equipped with FN’s SSR rear stock, which has adjustable length-of-pull and cheekpiece height, as well as a Picatinny rail section for attaching accessories. The rifle is also equipped with a Geissele two-stage “Super SCAR” match trigger. Though designed for magnified optics, the rifle comes with a set of folding back-up iron sights installed. Magazines are steel and available in either 10- or 20-round capacities.
