Given the choices you have presented, if money is not an issue, then I'd say go with the SCAR 17SA. The SCAR is going to be a lot more expensive, though.Both are gas piston driven, so don't have the problems associated with a direct impingement gas system. The SCAR is lighter and more modular, so you can change barrel lengths fairly easily. With an M14 type rifle, you pretty much have to choose a barrel length and live with it. I prefer the full length barrel, as it is more accurate at longer ranges, but that's my choice. The SCAR 17SA has an inline stock, so I suspect it has a lot less muzzle flip than the M14.

I guess that's one advantage of a walnut stock on an M14, aside from aesthetics (wood looks good), it can take/dish out a beating.

Oh, and some targets
After watching the video, I decided to dig up some old photos of targets. These were at 100 yards with the original stainless medium weight barrel on my Loaded M1A before I had the rifle glass bedded.

Portuguese and Australian surplus.
