When you guys handled this at the shot show. What was your impression? Is this a game changer or the scar better.

I was thoroughly impressed I have some good pics of it somewhere. I would say game changer if you got the $$&

Unfortunately 2016 is going to be an election year so in my own uneducated opinion I'd expect the price to be closer to $3500 once it's all said and done.  Hard to compare at this point like New Guy said - there's things the MDR will be able to do that the SCAR was not set up to do initially.  I know the SCAR will eventually be chambered in 7.62x39 and there's a conversion kit already out there to shoot 5.56 with.  Just don't know how feasible it will be to change between calibers.  I didn't get to handle it at the DT booth like Mf did but I do remember him mentioning how the quality was there.  I'd say get both and if you want, you can sell me the one you like least - j/k.
