I got the issc mk22 .22lr (scar) i read all the reviews and people slatting it, i did the 3 bolt modification off youtube and it seems to be doing great.
I was using eley subsonics at first but what a load of crap, misshaped and kept f2f.
I am using rws now and cci and dont seem to have any issues with it now.
I fitted a mtc viper connect on it and it groups really well at 75 yards.

What do you think of your SCAR? I've heard some mixed reviews but I like the fact that they aren't an AR clone.
l wanted the ISSC Mk22 (SCAR lookalike)as soon as l saw it in one of the gun mags. I think l had the first one from a RFD (CPG Designs) and to be honest l think it has had a lot of unfair bad press. One of the reviews from magazine was using Eley ammo and it needs CCI Minimag or similar to get the best results. The US forums led the way with a simple fix to some of the light strike issues by refitting the bolt retaining bracket with blue Loctite and once l had done this any light strike issues effectively went away.
It is nicely balanced when held, it is fairly accurate especially off a bipod, and l clean the bolt assembly from time to time with Foglube (but not that often).
l have seen the other similar rifles like the SIG 522 and the MP 15-22 have problems but they have all been rated by the press.
Anschutz have adopted it for their semi-automatic target rifle and l have taken both apart at the dealers and they are virtuallly the same (match grade barrel and adjustable trigger the major differences).
l have debated to swap it out for the SiG 522 but every time l pick it up l change my mind and decide to keep it.
