I have both rifles. I was going to sell the FS2000, but my wife, who is petite, loves to shoot it. As with other bullpup designs, the weight of the rifle is towards the rear and it is very easy to hold. Most shooters, especially on this forum, are familiar with AR-15/ AR-10 style rifles. I personally like the SCAR in 5.56 and 7.62. Unfortunately, FN charges quite a hefty premium for their rifles and the civilian models are made in Belgium, which limits what accessories can be legally added.

Again, although I like my Scar's, I can't say they are really better than a well made Ar-15 for the additional money. However, when I go hog hunting (Scar 17 is mush lighter than the AR-10's I have used), or to the range, I usually take a Scar along.
