Yes, I think Bungie is really pushing the scout rifles because they are all decent. I would add that the LDR 5001 sniper from Vanguard is very good and the Against All Odds machine gun from the Crucible is also solid. The Vanguard One Way Ticket launcher with cluster bombs works (until I can get a Jelly or Hunger of Crota) and the Up for Anything AR is one of the best of a crappy lot of ARs. I ground my crucible marks up to get the 3 Little Words pulse rifle because it has some interesting looking perks and stats. With the upcoming buff to pulse rifles, it could become very useful in the crucible.
