I want this rifle to accurately reach out to 500-600 yards, but not be too large to preclude it from CQB usage.

Those are contradictory requirements.

Yeah... I'm probably asking too much to get both from one rifle.

My original plan was to get a Bushmaster BAR-10 rifle, and set it up for long range work with a mildot Leopuld 4-14X; and a Bushmaster BAR-10 carbine with an Aimpoint for CQB work. But they keep dragging their feet about making spare parts available, and I don't want to sink $3000 into a system with no spare parts readily available.

So I'm thinking I'll get an FAL in the meantime.
