I went with the AR10 using hand loads it's good to 1000+ meters with the right finger on the trigger . The ammo is heavier but I don't plan on clearing any buildings with it 9 I prefer a sidearm for that.
The AR10 is a solid gun, my brother picked up a tack driver AR10 for less than 1/2 of what the guy had in it. No cut corners on the gun anywhere.
Clearing buildings? Isnt that why they make tactical 12 gauges? I have plans for a 7.62 rifle but not an AR but the thought of 20 well placed rounds in short order does have its appeal.

sounds like you are working on a long range tool
5.56 NATO, just a plinking toy, undecided on optics. Grown mans Barbie doll (accessories not included)

That's why I want a Ruger precision rifle in .308. Local place said they get them for $850. Optics will cost as much if not more than the rifle.
That's my choice weapon for when the blue helmets show up.
