The question is how much do you want to spend. Larue if you want extreme accuracy (I have three), BCM if you want just a good plinking/battle rifle.

Buy a Rock River VARMINT EOP Model - RRA LAR-15. Get the 2-Stage trigger, 24" bull barrel with 1:8" twist.
The longer barrel will hunt and shoot long range much better than a 16" or 20" You will get more out of this, a varmint gun, than a true black para-military setup. And this gun doesn't bust the bank.
Spend the big bucks on a quality auto-loader pistol...preferably made by STI!
It will run $1,130.00 bucks plus $25.00 bucks to ship it to a local FFL.
Factory ammo - showing the light bullet compared to heavy bullet performance POTENTIAL, of this gun. Reload some hand loads, working up the right combo, and you should be sub MOA all day long at 100....and out to 200.
77 grain performance
40 grain performance

I just got back from a successful deer hunt with a 11.3" barreled pistol with folding Thordsen Customs cheek rest and that thing is probably my favorite all-around gun right now. In a full sized rifle I'd go with an 18" 6.8. Just build your own honestly - you'll save $1,000 by not buying a Larue and can have the gun just the way you want it. Wilson combat makes solid barrels, and I've also had great luck with Rainier ultramatch barrels with a .223 wylde chamber.
If you want something strictly for self defense I'd get a Daniel Defense or BCM if you want very high quality, or just get a good upper and lower from Palmetto State and make sure the gas block is pinned, it's chambered in 5.56, and you've got M4 feed ramps.
