Well, given all the speculation that is pulling this thread all over the place I will state my all-rounder for most situations, within the Op's criteria.
A 'Recce/Recon Rifle'. AR15 in .223 with 16" Lilja and scope. Lower end of the scope's range down around the 2.5 times with upper end whatever the quality brand will give; (e.g. 10* for NF, or even 25* for March).
Not a CQB gun per-se but can do it in a pinch with a laser. CQB length barrels limit the velocity too much if targets present at 200M+. Can shoot with accuracy out to 500M in the fixed position, including night with a clip-on.
6.5Grendel too slow and niche a calibre (6.5G not included in the military re-supply machine). As for the Grendel's extra 25% effective range than .223. More likely targets will present at less than 500M, than more. And if more than 500M hopefully you can approach to at least 500M while in cover-from-view. Hopefully we are also talking about a military community type situation where there are heavier weapons around you to influence the outcome.
...That's of course if a Phased Plasma Rifle is out of the question and it's a, "Hey, just what you see, Pal!" situation.
