Multi-purpose rifle

Gents,
Recently a SOTIC instructor mentioned the desire for a rifle similar to an SR-25 (precision semi-auto .308), but with a collapsible buttstock and a shorter barrel (perhaps under 20") that could be used for assault if needed. Is this something you would find useful? If so, how would you spec it out?

1. Barrel Length (and/or desired effective engagement range)?

2. Weight (would you sacrifice a thick meaty barrel for more portability)?

3. Caliber cababitly (is .308 and its variants good enough or does it need to take the short mags as well)?

4. If it came with two barrels, say an 11" for DA and a 22-24" for long range precision, would you switch them out for different missions or just keep a medium length (16-20")barrel on all the time.?

5. Optic, what would you prefer for this type of setup.?

Ok thanks for the help gents. If all goes well, you may see something at SHOT show.
Justin
