I know these rifle have been compared but given the current aimpoint promo from LWRC (you got a free T1 w/LRP with a rifle) .... Which would you choose?
I will mostly be shooting inside 500 yards but the ability to stretch out would be a plus when needed ..... Weight is also not a huge deal Scar 17 ($2650) 
LWRC Repr 16" ($3000-$3250 depending on barrel length and options spiral fluting, cerakote etc) 
LaRue OBR 16" ($3370)

i had a 762 lwrc repr...... the one i had was reliable.. but it didnt shoot as well as the ruger sr762, that cost 1/2 as much. i ended up selling the lwrc, and bought two, sr762 rifles.. and im happy as hell with them.
ruger sr762. 16" barrel.... uses pmags.... reliable... and accurate as fuck... approx $1500.00 i have one and fucking love it. im not sure about spare parts just yet, i want a spare bcg, and extracters and a few firing pins as well, so i wont need to send the rifle in if i ever have any issues from normal part breakage and such............. im about to try to get a new BCG, and firing pins and things for this. not sure how hard it will be. if i fucking have to, i will send them the upper and just say i lost the fucking bcg. no clue how hard they will make it getting spare parts. or how expensive... but ill find out soon enough. 5 shots @ 100 yards..... 168g SMK... 38g imr 4895.. lake city brass. 
with a 25 round 762 pmag...

I have shot two of their 556 uppers. Very impressed with how it functioned and the simplicity of it. The reduced felt recoil claim is real. |

Having owned a GAP10, M&P10, and SCAR 17. The SCAR wins it by far for your purposes. The gap was insanely accurate but heavy and not really maneuverable, the M&P had some issues with cycling standard military ammo, LC m80 and PRVI.
The SCAR has been rock solid with all ammo I've used suppressed and unsuppressed, and I have gotten sub MOA with it. With that said, I will probably be trading the SCAR in for a Deserttech MDR if it is even close to what they are saying it will be quality-wise. The one I fondled at SHOT show felt great and would be a great little package for my purposes, and they have a good reputation for accurate rifles. |

OBR in 18" is what you seek.
If purely a battle rifle, then SCAR. If purely precision, I'm still not sure if the REPR is much more accurate than an OBR. The answer for your question is undoubtedly OBR. |

If I didn't just get a bolt gun for 1/4 the cost, and was going to drop the cash on the guns you listed, I'd get the Larue. But I've never owned a Larue gun, so I'm speaking without experience on what I'd buy.
