SF18C, with that budget, might as well go for the MR556 upper

I was talking with SOF exchange students from Germany, Singapore, and Estonia few days ago and they all love their 416. The manual even says not to clean it. Likewise, the ***/**** personnel I exchange thoughts with highly recommend the platform. If it ever breaks, good luck with the customer service though lol
or consider this

I have personal experience with the ultralite platform and with the gas tuned, it's the softest, smoothest AR you'll ever shoot. 200m headshot with M855 all day long. If you google for groupings, it's legit. Mr Barnes is a solid guy who stands behind his product, employ SF vets, and he does offer mil/SOF discount.
Also, with choices for excellent upper, please don't skim with the lower. I believe in investing in good trigger to fully bring the full accuracy potential of the upper.
In my next build I'm focusing on barrel, free-float rail, gas-bufferspring or piston, action, solid fitting/staking, and trigger for overall reliability/accuracy package. Everything else is gravy.
