    You are in fact looking for an SR-15 or something with very similar execution and design goals.
    SR-15 (Mod1 or Mod2 equally awesome in that role)
    DanielDefense V5LW or V11LW
    BCM Complete Rifle with 16" ELW Barrel and 13/15" KMR [or can run any rail you wish]
    Noveske 16" Lightweight (Rogue Hunter or Thunder Ranch type)

    Or build your own unicorn (Noveske Flared lower or an ambi capable San Tan/KAC/API Gen2 offering), run the complete upper you like best. If the feature/parts set on the SR15 is what you want, it's untouchable for value. If you don't need the ambi features other lowers are more attractive/better value; if you want something different on the configuration for the upper, it's possible to get really close (I consider the DD V5LW to be the poor man's version of the Mod0/Mod1 SR15's, and the V11 upper mirrors the Mod2 SR15 - performance isn't identical and the E3 bolt setup is it's own animal, but those DD options are truly the cost conscious version benchmarked to give comparable performance). The Noveske options, like the TRS are going to be very solid accurate setups, and the BCM especially ELW/KMR is arguably the best performance per ounce unit available. Too many good options; if you're looking at buying them complete it almost comes down to the furniture/triggers/sights they ship with as much as anything else [e.g. the SR15s beg for an MOE or similar pistol grip, the BCM you'll want to hold off until places like G&R have the complete BCM Lowers w/ Mod3 GF Grip and the new GF Buttstock; DanielDefense has their own complete furniture set which I have yet to handle, etc.].

    You'll be happier with the lighter one, and will probably never notice the accuracy difference between the two. KAC.

    Is this your first rifle?

    For the kind of money you're looking at spending here, you could buy a Colt 6720 or 6920, a KAC rail, a good optic, light, sling, 10 mags, and a 1,000 rounds of ammo, and then still have money left over.

    I love threads where a guy asks "compare these two options" Then 80% of the responses are "x" brand or "build your own"

    I've owned multiple SR15's and had a custom upper from Grant with a Noveske N4 barrel. There was no tangible difference in accuracy between any of them. Compared to a stainless barreled Noveske, the SR15 will offer lighter weight. For the ranges you're considering, get the KAC.

    I'm a little late to the party, but I am very happy with my KAC Mod 1. I prefer the URX 3.1 rail as well, and according to KAC they both are 6.6lbs. You'd could save a few bucks going Mod 1, unless you really prefer the keymod rail and updated gas system. I haven't shot a mod 2 for comparison or used a keymod rail..... so I'm partial to the URX for now.

    I would go with the kac. Its just a great all around rifle. I would then put a t1 on it and call it a day.
