The thing is they are for the most part both functionally identical to the AK/M4A4/1-S. The main thing you want out of an assault rifle is the capacity to kill a player with a single headshot. The scoped rifles (SSG/AUG) perform slightly better at range, but it's negligible in most situations compared to just being good at using the M4A4/AK and they cost so much more for essentially no benefit (AK + armour is much more valuable than an SSG + no armour).
For reference both of the scoped rifles do less damage than their non-scoped counterparts, and the slower firerate will gimp you in close quarters. The range advantage isn't enough to let you go against an AWPer so there is no point. There is a reason nobody touches them in competitive.
I also, bear in mind, have a VERY different playstyle suited to the Nova than everyone else
I touch both and often go top frag
