How Much Is an FN SCAR Worth? (2026 Value Update)

How We Calculate Used FN SCAR Values

The value of an FN SCAR is affected by its condition, customization or upgrades, and model. So, specifics matter when figuring out your used FN SCAR’s price.

Condition and Value

Determining the exact condition of a gun can be subjective. To see how we professionally evaluate your firearm (for free) and turn that condition into a payout, view our 3-step selling process for a guaranteed FFL offer... or check the tiers below.

How We Appraise FN SCAR Models

The FN SCAR variants you can find in the preowned market are the 16S, 17S, 20S, and 15P.

We haven’t separated NRCH and non-NRCH versions in our list below. They usually go for the same amounts used anyway.

(NRCH refers to the non-reciprocating charging handle. Nearly all modern FN SCARs now come with it. Older versions often don’t.)

FN SCAR 16S Value

The average used FN SCAR 16S is worth around $1,600 to $2,900. A new FN SCAR 16S sells for $3,839 at MSRP.

• The basic 5.56-shooter in the lineup and the most comparable to AR-15s.
• Equipped with fully ambidextrous operating controls.
• Also called the FN SCAR-L rifle.

FN SCAR 17S Value

The average used FN SCAR 17S is worth $1,700 to $3,500. A new FN SCAR 17 sells for $4,239 at MSRP.

• Bridges the gap between assault and battle rifles, chambered for 7.62x51mm.

• Also called the FN SCAR-H rifle.

FN SCAR 20S Value

The average used FN SCAR 20S 308 is worth around $2,000 to $4,000. A new FN SCAR 20S 308 sells for around $4,999 at MSRP.

This is a model that holds value well. Because it’s a premium firearm in the line, we use a secure gun shipping and buying system to ensure every transaction is fully insured and legally compliant.
