We can all recommend you options, but what we're trying to say is that 2k is a lot of money to spend on something when you're not sure what you want.
Taking a class will help you figure that out and you can take some of our recommendations and pick what works best for you based on experience.
I think you're hung up on the longest distance, but I would bet most of your shooting is going to be closer in and a 2.5-10 is going to be less than optimal for that.
Maybe a compromise would be to get a 1-6 and run that on the mk18. Sure, it will be harder to hit at 500-600 without the velocity of a longer barrel, but sometimes it's fun to have more of a challenge. You can then move the 1-6 to the new gun and continue with an aimpoint on the mk18.
Some of the most fun I've had at 3gun is running irons. A 1-6 is definitely easier, but easier isn't always more fun.
Your mk18 still has the same basic operation as whatever rifle you're looking for, so a class taken is not a "waste," you will still have that experience to use with your new gun, but you will have made a more informed decision when you buy it.

I didn't mean to piss in your wheaties. Seems like I've struck a cord with you. If a $15 tasco red dot was suggested as the best red dot to use then I'll get one of those. No one said I needed the newest and most expensive. If there is a better option why shouldn't I consider it? Just because I can afford it doesn't mean I'll buy it. But I might as well consider it shouldn't I?
Makes sense! Do you have a suggested 1-6? I've always used mostly night force. Just seemed to a decent optic. I've always enjoyed running irons, with the MG's I pretty much only run iron sites. Hell an A2 upper was all I had for the longest time. But I guess I've gotten a little more refined past just doing my own thing at the range.
It depends on how much you care about weight.
Vortex HD is awesome, esp for the money, but heavy.
Kahles k16i is my fav but some don't like the illumination knob.
They're all pretty much a compromise. Maybe wait till after shot.

This is my suggestion, I know you have been getting a lot of them. Take your MK18, put an aimpoint on it, and use it for a class. If you don't feel after that class that it is what you want, sell it and get the SR15, and you can swap the aimpoint over onto it. I would suggest you take the course with whatever you feel you would most likely grab first in the panda apocalypse. If you would go 16" with a 1-6 because you feel you would be aiming at black spots at 600 yards, take another course with that. If you would grab the light and short with a RDS because you would only engage those bamboo eating bastards at shorter distances, take another course with that. But I would not run out and buy a new SR15 before you know if your MK18 will do everything you want it to.
I think you are a little too worried about the panda apocalypse though, they are going to just kill themselves off from lack of breeding before that becomes an issue.
Do you think the pandas realize they are Chinese and are just taking the one-child policy too seriously?
Keep your sbr, get a KAC Mod1, or 2 which ever you like best.
Vortex 1-6.
Kahles 1-6
S&B 1-8
Steiner 1-5
No such thing as too many rifles. Take both to the class, run both. You'll then have the sbr for up to two hundred yards then the KAC when you want to shoot distance as well as close range. Put a Surefire x300u on the sbr, and a Surefire m300c,or 600u on the KAC.
The KAC comes with a really nice trigger, run it, if you don't like go Geisselle SD-C.
Your all set.
