most of the gun nuts all agree that the best bugout bag gun is an FN-FAL.
Who, exactly? FALs that make it to the US are notoriously finicky and unreliable. The ones made by Century Arms take a lot of fiddling to make them work at all, and when they do, they’re 2MOA at best, and more likely 3MOA. Also, even in carbine configuration, it’s big and heavy.
.300BO is based off of the 5.56x45mm cartridge; it’s intended as a subsonic round–e.g., extra-quiet when you’re shooting with a silencer–and has ballistics on par with a bus. It’s big, heavy, slow, and has an incredibly short effective range.
Neither .308 (7.62x51mm NATO) nor .300BO will go through a level IV plate, which is pretty standard at this point for US soldiers.
If you want highly accurate in an AR-15 package, go for 6mm ARC. If you want highly accurate in an AR-10 package, go for 6.5CM or 6.5PRC.
Most countries have moved away from battle rifles. The biggest reason is that ammo is heavier, and heavier ammo means you can carry less. All other things being equal, the side with the most ammunition tends to win. The second reason is that engagements rarely happen at ranges that require a full-powered cartridge; a mid-sized cartridge is quite sufficient for infantry use.
