To make sure you are taking complete advantage of your Scar, you should invest in a good riflescope. That investment has brought you over here. Welcome, in this article, we will help you choose the best scope for Scar 20s. There are plenty of good riflescopes for Scar 20s available in the market, but all of them didn’t make the list, of course. Without further ado, let’s jump straight into it.
Best Scar 20S Scopes – [Editor’s Choice]
1. NIGHTFORCE ATACR 4-16x42mm F1 Scope
The idea behind ATACR was to enable the full potential of a rifle. Whether it’s Scar 20s or something else, that’s optional.
The housing of this single-piece tube scope was made with aluminum. The inside of the tube is purged with nitrogen to make it fogproof. The scope has a rugged exterior. An anodized matte finish protects the scope from unwanted scratches. It’s also shock and waterproof at the same time as well.
The glasses are fully multi-coated to provide better color accuracy and light transmission. Despite being a high magnification scope, there is no distortion present on the scope. That’s a great sign. Nobody wants to spend this much on a scope and then get greeted with a blurry riflescope.
The synergy of this scope with Scar 20s is quite good. It’s one of the best scopes you could get for Scar 20S. While the Scar by no means is capable of maxing out the range of this scope, it’s good to have high magnification. High magnification comes in handy while hunting or even target practice.

3. Vortex Razor HD 3-18×50 Gen II FFP Riflescope
The Vortex Razor series doesn’t need a new introduction. We have been featuring this scope in our articles since the beginning of time. Jokes aside, this is a killer scope at a killer price point that makes it a great scope for hunting.
Razor HD Gen II is the first focal plane riflescope made out of aluminum and HD glass. The scope is a single-piece tube design with internal purging to make it immune to moisture. The outside of the scope has a matte black finish that looks amazing, to say the least. The scope is also water and shockproof. Rest assured, a gun like Scar 20s won’t be able to put a dent in this scope.

4. Athlon Ares ETR UHD 4.5-30×56 FFP Riflescope
Athlon tends to name its products after great beings. Being true to that, Athlon Ares is named after the Greek god of war. While we are not here to discuss about Greek myth, this scope still performs like it’s made for war.
Just like the god of war, Ares is an incredibly durable scope that can perform under any weather. The choice of material really compliments the overall appearance of this scope. It’s made out of high-quality aluminum. The aluminum is waterproof and shockproof. Making sure there is no compatibility issue with Scar 20s.
The lens of the scope is the best part in my opinion. They are fully multi-coated. They are insanely clear and vivid. The light transmission game of this scope is on a whole other level. Athlon put a lot of thought behind the making of this scope.
The pairing is quite nice with Scar 20s as well. You don’t need to do much of a tuning to match the scope with your shooting style. As the scope can handle the reticle quite easily, you will have an excellent time with the scope.

5. Burris Xtreme Tactical XTR II 5-25x50mm Scope
Burris XTR is a hybrid riflescope for Scar 20s. By hybrid I mean it can serve as a tactical scope and a hunting riflescope. All scopes can work as both, but all of them won’t do good work as both. XTR II is a tactical shooting-focused scope that does plenty well in small-game hunting.
XTR II is constructed from high-quality aluminum. It features a single-tube design that we are familiar with and like. The inside of the tube features nitrogen purging to make it immune to fogging. As the lenses are sealed properly, the scope is also 100% waterproof at the same time. Thanks to a robust and rugged exterior, the scope can take up hits from bigger cartridges.
Rest assured, you won’t be running into compatibility issues while pairing this with the Scar 20s. A big concern while buying a new scope is performance. Whether it will perform well with the rifle you are pairing with or will it perform well at all. You don’t need to worry about either as this scope is one of the best riflescopes for Scar 20s. It’s one of the best Scar scopes.

Things To Keep in Mind Before Buying
Unlike most other AR-15s or a bolt-action rifle, Scar is very picky when it comes to riflescopes. The recoil won’t manage to destroy most scopes out there, but it doesn’t synergize well with many scopes. Keep a couple of things in mind while purchasing a scope for your Scar.
Build Quality
The housing of the scope needs to be durable. It can be made out of metal or durable polymer. But it doesn’t matter if the material isn’t treated right and the overall build quality is bad. Don’t take a weak scope for a gun like Scar 20s.
Budget
Having an idea of how much you can spend always helps. It will ensure you don’t go overboard or get the best riflescope in your budget.
Lens Quality
If you have read a couple of our reviews previously, you know we focus mostly on lens clarity. They need to be clear. Otherwise, you will have a horrendous time using the scope. Stay away from plastic lenses. They scratch easily and they feature tons of distortion.
Summary
I’m well aware of other scopes for Scar 20s. Those didn’t meet our requirement for a riflescope. We are very picky about choosing the best scope for Scar 20s. Or any guns for that matter. These are the ones that cut and I can suggest them without looking back.
Whichever you take from the list, you won’t be disappointed at all. You will leave this page with a smile. Good luck with your newly paired scope with Scar. Till next time.
