I suppose I should qualify my suggestions somewhat.

Your LWRC is a 7lbs rifle (approximately).  The Bushnell weighs two pounds.  Add another half a pound or so for the mount.

This becomes a bit of a question whether you are putting the scope on top of the rifle or attaching the rifle to the bottom of the scope.

Bushnell DMR and SWFA SS basically fill the same niche and on balance I slightly prefer the SS.

VX-6 3-18x50 is an excellent hunting scope with longish range inclinations.  Since you never mentioned long range hunting, I assume that the simpler to operate Accupoint is a better fit for low light operation and typical deer hunting distances.

For a home defence gun something like an Aimpoint is an excellent fit.  The magnifier's primary function from what I have seen so far is to add unnecessary weight and get in the way.  If you want magnification, get a scope.

Larue OBR is wonderfully precise rifle for a semi-auto, but a large scope is not a good fit on that either.  Something like the Elcan or the SS 1-6x24 is a good choice for it.

If you want a little more magnification, there are plenty of nice scopes that top out at around 10x and I do not think this rifle needs more than that.
