If you have the scratch, I would opt for the
Noveske N4 Low Profile and a
Trijicon TA38 Compact ACOG in a Larue mount. Total should be about $2700 and you'll be all set and ready to go. All you'll need to add is a sling, mags, ammo, and practice.
The above is a compromise, IMHO, in terms of the ballistic performance of the caliber in question at 300 yards. If you really want to up the ante, and don't mind paying more for your ammo, you could opt for the
Noveske 16.1" Recon 6.8mm Rifle for $2300 and bump up to the 6.8 caliber. The downside, besides the higher initial cost of the firearm, is the cost and availability of 6.8 loads, but if you're not planning on shooting thousands of rounds a year the 6.8 would probably suit your hunting needs much better.
If cost is an issue, buy the LMT upper, lower, and BCG separately for $1k+/-. You'll still need a handguard of some sort, and the
Daniel Defense Omega Rail for another $250. You'll still need an optic and iron sights, and if you're trying to save money I'd go with the
Aimpoint C3 in a 2 MOA with an ADM mount for $430and a
Larue rear BUIS for $90. Total package about $1800 if you add in a Magpul MIAD pistol grip. $2k even if you opt for a decent weapon light and a foregrip and/or rail covers. You can add the Aimpoint magnifier later after you recover.
