GD - I have a Scar Heavy (have had several actually). They're great guns, but 7.62x51mm is a battlefield round. If you're in a friendly urban area over penetration could be an issue (along with the weight of ammo). If you get a Heavy don't use a variable power optic on it. The rifle is known for damaging them. Google "Scar eats optics". You'll find a lot of internet chatter, but I've seen a Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x with the guts rolling around inside, courtesy Scar-17.
ETA: I have a Trijicon TA11H-G on my Heavy, and think its about perfect. Regarding over penetration / suitability of the rifle...
US houses are made easily defeatable materials. This is a consideration if a "small scale problem" crops up. In a full on WW3 / TEOTWAWKI I'd like the penetration offered by the mighty 308.
