I'm with TrackMagic as far as building an LR-308 setup, and leaning heavily on what Rainier Arms stocks to at least figure out approximate final cost. I'd also use taking an S&W M&P10 and adding parts to it as the benchmark for performance for cost, since that's already really close to a solid general use one and is compatible with most aftermarket parts that should make sense (i.e. upgraded furniture as needed, a handguard that works adequately, Geissele SSA/G2S or SSA-E/G2S-E, etc.).
For my part I'm waiting to see if any bigger manufacturers step into the game with an LR-308 type setup (Noveske, BCM, DD), otherwise I'll just start with an Aero Precision Receiver set, stuff it with DPMS G1 type parts, run a custom barrel and MI SS-KeyMod handguard, MagPul/KAC furniture and sights, run AXTS/BCM/BAD ambi parts and call it good.
