30-06 calibre is by far the best compromise, it's a whole whopping kg lighter than the SCAR and keeps 8 rounds in its very sleek design, which means you can use it also on prone position without the magazine being in the way.
The M-14 is another lovely gun, and maybe more versatile than the Garand.
I haven't heard much good about Rumanian stuff, but never tried it myself. Even their version of the Dragunov is a bit crap.

Ask the guy that told you a Garand is 1kg lighter than the SCAR-H to give you your money back.
the garand was a great rifle, (not assault rifle), back in it's time, but it's time pzssed 70 years ago.
The heavy scar weights 7.9lbs. A Garand around 10lbs. The scar is the lightest. 308 assault rifle out there and it has everything you would want from a modern weapon.
The Romanian AK's are not considered that good. They work like most other ak's, but the Russian and bulgarian are the best. From what I heared the Arsenal saigas are some of the most popular AK rifles this days. Quality at a good price.
