Free-floating and an ALG-type trigger make the most sense out of the whole program.
The chevron reticle argument is silly for the reasons you state. Somebody wants to spend some money.
They should look at Cerakote for coatings, or some type of surface deposition with integrated corrosion elimination properties.
They should also look at no longer than 16" barrels, increase the BC on the SOST, and most importantly, re-evaluate the marksmanship training programs. With more low-intensity conflicts on the horizon, small arms fire from well-trained Infantrymen is going to continue to play a more important role when semi-permissive environments don't allow collateral damage. North Africa is a prime example of that.
