As a new enthusiast with a sizable budget I have a few questions, hopefully this doesn't get buried.

What I want: I want two guns, one PCC and one NR "AR style" riffle. I am already set on the Kriss vector .45ACP for my PCC but I'm not sold on anything else yet. What would be the "best" gun for accuracy and reliability and ease of use, say around 5k, not including an optic.

I picked out a Vortex UH-1 for the Kriss vector, but what is the "absolute best" optic for say 200-500m accuracy focused target shooting, say 1500-2000 for the optic, this is for the other TBD gun.

Appreciate the help.

Money doesn't matter? Bushmaster ACR, CZ Bren 2.

Do you mind if I ask what makes these two obvious choices?

The Canadian manufacturers have not-so-great reputations and we’re already limited in what we can get.

No one has anything good to say about the WK180C. The MCR is better but still not ‘great.’

The imported ‘AR-style’ semi-autos are much better but you’re also paying for them.
