Edit: or you could get two 6920's and go shooting with the youngster.

First you have to define for yourself what you're going to do with it - what's its purpose? That will determine things like rifle configuration, barrel length, barrel design, and barrel material.
Most importantly, you are going to want to learn how to shoot the rifle and use it according to its purpose and design, so be prepared to spend money on training courses. Also, be aware that you will shoot a lot of ammo. It would be common for a training course to require you shoot 750-1000 rounds in a day.
Agreed. A Daniel Defense M4 or Middy, BCM middy or Colt6920. A red dot sight and light are a must. Use the rest for Ammo, Mags and training.
