Which Scar? vs Krytac crb (mk2)

[Steve170]

Brief as possible background...

I'm new to skirmishing, I have only been once! ...brilliant what a great hobby, loved it and knew I would.

I'm mad when it comes to spending money so PLEASE DON'T tell me to do the smart thing and stick with my cm16 raider for a while first!

I'm really stuck in two minds and just want to see what anyone here has to say...

When the time comes where I can buy a RIF I am tied between the Krytac CRB mk2 (when released) or a scar L. I've heard so much good about krytacs that it was a no brainer for me...BUT I'm completely falling for the way scars look. I woud want a shorter length of the barrel showing though like the g&g cqc version - or is that easily modified anyway?

For me the look of my rifle is important and have never liked a long skinny barrel sticking out.

Also I am after reliability, not too fussed over external details, just after a reliable weapon.

Price range is around £300-350...or 400 or even £450 depending on how f*#££££g mad I go.

I suppose I'm asking for help with the scar mainly as I know I like the krytac

Thanks for any ideas...

Re: Which Scar? vs Krytac crb (mk2)

I've just brought a WE Scar H aeg for £189 brand new, it only arrived on Tuesday so not skirmished yet had a plink in back garden and once I sort hop to how I liked it was shooting nice and straight out to about 30+ metres before dropping off, I read somewhere they can take an M4 mag too!! So yes I tried and yes it did, build quality is very good, a few seam lines on the adjustable stock but nowt to worry yourself over, the metal upper is nice and crisp, there also a tool in front gas block you turn it and out it comes with a star key !!, over all a nice gun for a great price £180 compared to £300/£350 price

Here's a quick pic of said Scar, forgot to say also has locking bolt and after shooting off a few rnds in semi or full auto when you put back into safe it releases spring tension

If it's a WE Scar H AEG, then oddly enough.......They can run M4 mags lol

Re: Which Scar? vs Krytac crb (mk2)

If you've got that budget, I'd say you can do better than the Krytac - they are nice, but I personally think that there are better things out there.

If you like Scars, go for a scar!! You'll only end up buying one anyway if you like them that much, so save yourself some money now (from not chopping and changing guns) and get the gun you want.

Scars wise - you've got WE, dboys and Classic army (I think) as budget options. The G&G one you linked would be better than the previous. But if your budget will stretch, go for the TM recoil. It uses Tm recoil specific mags but that will be the best performing scar you can buy. If I was in your position, that is what I'd do.. Even if it did mean doing another couple of skirmishes with the CM16!

No problems doing more skirmishing with the cm16...it's my first aeg and deserves to shoot a few more people. I had a chat with a couple of guys at the site and they both strongly advised against a gas rifle. For this reason I'm urring against the tm...unless I'm misunderstood? I don't need a gbb.

When you say the g&g is better than the previous...you mean ALL the the previous you meantioned?

At the moment I'm not too fussed on performance, I just want mainly reliablity plus the compact look.

I'm the opposite of a tart but it seems like I'm a right tart when it comes to my rifle.

Is the WE not gas blow back? Price sounds good.

Can anyone tell me if I buy a scar with the barrel sticking out a fair bit...can I shorten it? I plan on putting a suppressor on it anyway but idealy the suppressor starts where the front sight is

Re: Which Scar? vs Krytac crb (mk2)

WE make both an AEG and GBBR Version

TM make a AEG which has recoil. I've owned the TM Scar H and it was brilliant

[Wilkes 1875]

Re: Which Scar? vs Krytac crb (mk2)

The only thing gbbr's bring is realism of function, if that's not what you want, I wouldn't bother!
I meant the G&G was better than the budget brands. The TM will be the best one.

That we is an AEG I think, they also make gbb. I wouldn't bother with the gbb one, and if im honest, you'd be better spending the extra bit and buying G&G or the TM.

You could chop the barrel, but just get a cqc version with the shorter barrel!

Re: Which Scar? vs Krytac crb (mk2)

Thank you all for your help. I think I'll hold out for when the g&g is back in stock somewhere. As you say wilkes, I'll only end up buying a scar anyway... I saw a lot of topics on scars on different forums but found nothing newer than 2014 and maybe only one thread at that, so I wanted to ask.

...que the bright spark who comes out and says "don't buy that g&g scar it's rubbish, fell apart after someone looked at it funny. Get the krytac instead"

Re: Which Scar? vs Krytac crb (mk2)

What's thoughts on the VFC SCAR H ? I have played with one and thought it was insane, not tried any other makes mentioned, so how does the VFC stack up to all the other manufacturers?

[Wilkes 1875]

Re: Which Scar? vs Krytac crb (mk2)

Indeed pal, I've learnt the hard way that you should just buy what you want, not what you think will perform well.. Otherwise you just won't enjoy using it!

Lol, you can guarantee someone will, and they might! As its all opinion based! But my opinion is that you should get the scar as that's what you like. It's a very similar spec to the krytac, but if it was my money, I'd buy the g&g.

The vfcs are also very nice! Out of the box performance, the g&g would most likely be a little better, with vfc having slightly nicer quality externals. I had a vfc scar l and it was great, but had a few issues with it breaking! But that's just my experience! Vfc make some lovely stuff!

Yes! Bring back recess!! :D

Re: Which Scar? vs Krytac crb (mk2)

I own a TM SCAR-H, and it's a very good gun. You say your budget is £300 - £450, I personally would very strongly recommend you get yourself one of the TM recoil shock guns. Other guns may be cheaper, but I guarantee that a TM will be good years down the line and it will perform excellently without having to invest a lot of money in upgrades.

Buying anything but TM basically means you're going to have to upgrade something or other, depending on how well you want your gun to perform. Save your money and buy the best from the beginning, it'll be cheaper overall for an initially expensive investment.

This comes within budget:

And echoing what Kodiak said, the TM is probably one of the best out the box AEGs you can buy

Re: Which Scar? vs Krytac crb (mk2)

Thanks for the TM talk...I never imagined buying one so I've never looked into them fully and always skip past them on shop websites etc. I also never knew they did a cqc version. Now I have looked and seen the recoil is also not gas which is a big good factor for me, I'm getting pretty excited with the thought of buying the TM scar L cqc in tan

It's going to be at the very top of my budget and I know I have to buy the special mags too right?

Couple of questions...
1. laws/pros and cons/anything to think about if buying from abroad?

2. Can't find any UK places with it in stock...is this going to be really tough to get hold of here?

Looking to buy at around the end of june early july

Re: Which Scar? vs Krytac crb (mk2)

Edit last post. I have found a UK retailer.

If you lot are like all the other people on forums I share other hobbies with then you'll want to see pictures ��. Will post some when I get it
