I'm super new to this sport but having so many NR options all of a sudden has created a huge itch that I want to scratch. Opinions please on which direction to go?
 
I wouldn't go for the ACR DMR as its likely to be heavy--the rifle is already too heavy for what it is, and the DMR version has got a heavier-profile barrel. If you don't mind a heavy rifle I'd go for an H&K SL8.

The ACP looks good but it is very pricy, as is the Modern Varmint. I'd really think about the Tavor since you can get 'em now for around $2k on the EE, but I must admit to being a bullpup fan myself.

Wolverine is stating 8.75lb dry for the APC, same as the claimed weight of the ACR DMR.
If you ditched the heavy Magpul PRS on the ACR it should turn out lighter than the APC.

Exactly. Ditch the PRS for a folder at minimum, or a fixed stock if you really want to lighten up. Then get rid of the obscenly heavy enhanced handguard in favor of either the Mlok rail rambones is making or the Nexus Tactical options which are even lighter and get my vote.

Yikes...I didn't see that. My FAMAE 7.62X51 weighs a pound less than that. In that case I wouldn't go for either. Unless there's a bunch or prone shooting planned maybe the OP should thing about a regular ACR that's been NR'ed. Or wait for an HK243.

How long of a wait for the HK243? :D

I think it will be worth the wait. My guess is about a year and a half.
