Aimpoint Comp M4, Comp M4s, T1 or Pro. Depends what you want and how much you would like to spend.

Aimpoint pro....I see a pattern forming...lol
Great value, only reason to spend more is if your ass is on the line everyday.

+1 Aimpoint Pro
I'll be honest... I feel as though aimpoint (from a business standpoint) shot themselves in the foot with the PRO. It is such a great red dot, I literally cannot justify the difference between it and the CompM4/s or the T1... unless you really need the weight difference of the compact nature of the T1, I don't see the need for any Aimpoint red dot now besides the PRO. It is really such a great value for the money.

Buy something that says "aimpoint" and not off of eBay.

They went this route for local law enforcement who are on right budgets. I think it's great of a company to provide a great product at a lower price from its comparative models. If the PRO does the job you need it too, no need to upgrade to the more expensive sights they offer.
Why not use a magnified optic to get the full potential of the 308?

byf43 is right on! That is what I bought from LA and they Honored the price even after it was back ordered. I Have not completed the SCAR install Yet though.

VA Rocks.
the only problem with the PRO is the QRP mount. it can get in the way of the reciprocating charging handle if placed on the left side..
I would go with a larue or ADM mount on a PRO..
edit: imagine pulling back on the charging handle and getting caught in that knob.. anyway.. I can take pics tomorrow if you want a visual..

Aimpoint Pro even over a Trijicon ACOG? I was thinking of eventually getting a Trijicon ACOG for my 17S.

Well he said he was looking for a RDS, not an ACO/ Variable Scope.
+1 Aimpoint PRO...just a great value. I have issues with the knob as well, but the Tango Down charging handle fixes the clearance issue for me.

Yet another +1 for the Aimpoint PRO. Best value out there by a landslide, and it works great.
The mount is really not a problem. If you have a clearance issue with the charging handle just reverse the mount so the knob is on the other side.

The recoil impulse of the SCAR 17 eats EO Techs and even magnified optics like the Swarovski Z6. Aimpoint is the way to go.
I disagree I ran an EOTECH without issue and the EOTECH offers a greater FOV and more comfortable eye relief than an AIMPOINT hands down.

You can't go wrong with the Aimpoint and EoTec as others have mentioned.
If you're budget restrained, I have the Vortex Strikefire on my AR and it has worked very well do me. I can't vouch for its ruggedness compared to the high end, but the optics are good and Vortex tends to have quality scopes.
The one negative that I've noted is at higher intensity levels the dot loses a bit of its definition
Good luck.
