The FN 17S (SCAR-H) is a lightweight, 7.62x51mm battle rifle praised for its military-grade quality and exceptional accuracy, achieving sub-MOA with match ammo. Despite its light 8lb weight for its caliber, it features a thin, cold hammer-forged barrel prone to heating and an 'atrocious' stock trigger, though aftermarket upgrades like Geissele significantly improve it. Its ambidextrous controls are a plus, but the reciprocating charging handle is a drawback. Recommended for specific POU like CQB or competition, it's considered expensive for general use.

The Stoney Point shooting sticks are praised for their stability on difficult terrain. The event tests SAPRs and promises a night run as well, with the shooter scoring 29 points.

This video features a debrief of the Kel-Tec RFB rifle, with the reviewer providing mostly positive feedback in the final part of a "No Fear" series. While the RFB performs well, it doesn't quite match the performance of the FN 17S in their point system. The video also includes observations after shooting, a segment involving a "Sledge" chasing darkness with "big laughs," and an update on the PMR-30 after lubrication, hoping for 100% reliability. The content concludes with humorous commentary on PFI's Barbie collection and a concluding remark about the outcome of the testing, suggesting it "kinda' worked out."
