There is not civilian .308 rifle being made by FN Scar, but Heckler and Koch are. The MR762 will run you about 4k and will be available sometime this year.

In the event of Z-Day The United States Army is switching to the MK16 and MK17 while the Marines are switching to the Ruger556 and keeping the SAW still active.

I hope this info helps you.

With respect, yes there is, it's called the SCAR 17S. You can see it at this link:

I held the MR762 a few weeks ago and I have to say that had I had 5K to blow I would have bought it, loved the way it felt

I'm not sure about these anymore. I'd think that the R308 will do most of the same job just as well or better, it has double the capacity in the factory issue mags, comes in several barrel lengths and it's about two grand cheaper.
