    Who Has an SCR???

    Any suggestions for a lockable rifle cabinet/safe for the 2 SCR's with scopes ? I'd prefer a combinations lock(or even biometric to avoid key lock). Not really looking for a heavy duty safe; just something to keep kids out of that we could keep in the bedroom or walk-in closet.Thanks for any...

    Who Has an SCR???

    Here is my 2nd SCR with a Strikefire II Red Dot Scope and VMX-3T 3 X magnifier. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to the range this week or not; but when I do I'll let you know how I make out. The bolt catch for this one should be arriving today ;as you can see it doesn't have...

    Funny you should say that.Since I was worried about the getting at the charger handle because of the scope(before I knew it wasn't going to be a big issue because of the bolt catch), I ordered a red dot scope for my second SCR .I'll probably mount it over the weekend. Tom

    Who Has an SCR???

    Thank you. I found that since I had added the accessory bolt catch to this rifle, its not as big a problem as I thought it was going to be. The bolt catch holds the chamber open after the last round so I don't have to constantly reach the charging handle as I thought I would have to. Best...

    Who Has an SCR???

    The second SCR came with Nikon P-223 3-9x40 BDC 600 scope with the nikon P series mounts Nikon P Series Scope Mount This makes the charging handle hard to get at. I believe these are cantilever mounts and should solve this problem?(like I know what I'm talking about????). Is it possible that...

    Wouldn't you know it; I picked up my 2nd SCR last night since the USPS had lost the first one and I just got a notice from the USPS that the original SCR has just been delivered to my FFL. I now know what my wife is getting for Xmas. I wasn't intending on owning 2 firearms this early in this...

    Who Has an SCR???

    Thank you. What I've done is ordered another SCR on auction and had it shipped overnight.It just arrived at my FFL and I'm going to pick it up in about 2 hrs. I contacted the the original seller and we're working on the refund. The USPS really messed this one up big time;they still haven't...

    I bought one of these for my SCR( which should arrive this coming Monday evening). Does anyone know what mounting rings/hardware I need for it? I'm anxious to mount the scope as soon as possible and I'm not sure I'll know how to figure this out. It's the Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 BDC Rifle Scope.(...

    Who Has an SCR???

    Thank you. From what limitted reading I've done on the subject I understand that the two diffent ammunitions are indeed different and can cause problems if you use the 556 in a 223 barrel and chamber because of different pressures and slightly different dimensions. Since the SCR can use both...

    Does it matter whether I use .223 or 5.56 ammo in the SCR since it is caliber spec'ed at .223/5.56 ? Thank you . Tom

    Who Has an SCR???

    OK, Thank you. My understanding is that the 5 round magazines are ok for hunting but the 10 round magazines are only legal at a firing range ;is that right? is there any limit to the number of 10 round magazines I can own? Can I have them loaded prior to to going to the range? Do they have to be...

    Who Has an SCR???

    Is not having an ejection port dust cover a big deal? I'm finding a few SCR-001's (no dust covers)in stock at a few dealers but the only SCR-011's I'm finding in stock have threaded barrels. Thank you . Tom
  27. DrTom

    Who Has an SCR???

    There's no extra charge for the model with the dust cover so I guess that's the way I'll go and without the threaded barrel. Please forgive this simplistic question but do these rifles come with a case or do I have to buy one separately? If I have to buy one are there standard sizes? Thank...
