I found the M14 lacking in versatility if compared to the MK17. I'm just referring to the fact that the modern design of the SCAR is better for a more universal use (close / mid / long) depending on what your role is, vs the M14 is of a bit outdated (yet beautifully classic) platform that would not be as functional in a close quarters environment.
Just my 2 cents, of course. Most weapons can be mastered by the user once they decide to perfect their craft.

I own a civilian M14 (M1A). And I agree with your assessment. And the military did too. Shortest lifespan as US Army primary rifle in the history of the service. BTW I like shooting it but it is limited. I prefer the Garand. Go figure.
I've just never seen a SCAR in person. Seems like a similar thing to an AR10 which I think is an excellent platform. Can be made short barrel or long. Iron sites or flattop for excellent use scoped. Whatever. Plenty of room for more than one choice.
