Indeed, though the UK, at least, also uses the 5.56x45mm L86A2 in the role.

In any case, I would never assign the L129A1 Acc 4 just because it had a 16" barrel and I can't figure out how the SCAR-H rates only Acc 4.

These weapons are at least as mechanically accurate as any M16/AR-15 type rifle firing stock 5.56x45mm ammunition (more, in fact, as the M885 is only rated 2-3 MOA, no matter what rifle it's fired from), their 7.62x51mm rounds have superior ballistics and therefore a longer effective engament range and the SCAR-H, at least, seems to have excellent ergonomics.
