Best 5.56 NR Rifle

Hello all

Im looking to sell my MCR and upgrade to a higher quality 5.56 NR rifle to have conceivably for the rest of my life and to pass down to my son. Im currently looking at the Bren 2 or ACR. What are your suggestions as to what the best option is for Canadians at the moment is and why? (doesn’t have to be Bren 2 or ACR)

I had the ACR dmr for about a year fantastic rifle but way too heavy with stock barrel so if you plan on upgrading it its great but honestly will probably wind up spending as much as just getting a bren
