    You do know that the SCAR 17 is known as an optics killer. It has something to do with the piston spring recoil.
    I own one and have had good luck with both accuracy and optics. The optic I used most was a Lucid L5 4-16 x 44. You can spend a fortune for an optic, and you probably should if your life depends on it, or competition. For occasional use the Lucid worked very well for me.

    I have a nightforce 2.5-10 on my scar 17s it works great. What are you shooting at 300-400? Are you going for iddy bitty groups on paper or ringing steel? Do you already shoot at these distances? If so what magnification do you prefer? Once you determine a magnification range then start looking at which scopes in that range are the most durable and fit your budget.
