No expert here but if you want to build a sniper rifle like the ones in use in the military, you are starting with the wrong platform.

So do you want a .mil sniper rifle or an accurate AR?

The term you're looking for is SPR.  Or SAM-R.  Or Recce.  Or SDM.

Seaching any of those terms should give results.

If you are looking for a  practicle Mid range prission rifle. I would go. SPR. Mine is set up with a Colt M4 upper a WOA 18 in  rifle lenth gas system S/S barrell with a Larue gas block and a Larue 13.2in. rail. 1/7. I am useing a colt lower with a LMT Sopmod stock. Optic's is a 10x SS in a larue mount with set of Troy front and rear Buis. I also use a Colt Bolt assy.M/P tested. With the right ammo 1/2 in groups at 100 yard's(p.s.I am not that good of a shoot) Check out the SPR thread and MSTN bulds some very nice set up's P.S. Welcome and have Fun!

Full auto,
Hows that gun shoot?  I'm basically going to build the same thing myself.  I'm using a Krieger barrel and I really like the GG&G flip up front sight.  The Larue rails, Arms rings, PRS stock (TAN), MIAD (TAN), and others will be the same though.  Scope is a 8.5x25 MK4 with illuminated mildots.  Looking forward to finishing it sometime soon.  I like to see others that have been build in the process of finishing mine, keeps me motivated and doesn't allow me to forget about all the parts sitting in the safe.  Thanks for sharing.  gS

Daniel Defense and Larue tac rails are both very popular, but if this is going to be a sniper rifle and weight isn't much of an issue, you could consider getting an ARMS SIR system. That way you don't have to go through all of the trouble of mounting a 14" scope on about 5 inches of reciever rail.

Here's my version of what you want

If you use the Larue scope mounts then you'll have no problem mounting the scope on the receiver.  And the Larue foreend and scope mount combined don't cost much more than an SIR rial alone.
