Armalite or Bushmaster?

I am looking into buying a semi-auto for coyote hunting and just an expensive popcan gun.
I was looking at the Armalite AR-10(T) Chambered in the .308 Win.

Also lookin at the Bushmaster XM15 rifle systems. chambered in the .223

The thing is that i would like to also use this semi auto for a 1000 yard target play gun also. Questions are which of these two rifles are going to be more easily used for a 1000 Yard target gun rifle. If at all? Obviously the .308 would be better. I dont intend to use this semi auto as a serious match rifle. But am more than interested at taking coyotes at long distances. I want quality though. Armalite or Bushmaster. Who has the better built rifle. Thanks!

How 'bout Rock River?

My perception is it has tight tolerances which does not make it as reliable as my HK91 or my old M1a, but I guess that's the trade off for accuracy.
