long range rifle recommendations

LOL

I had a .50 with an 18” barrel and couldn’t imagine the muzzle blast coming off one any shorter than that. If you wasn’t the one shooting it rocked your chest even standing behind the shooter. Serbu makes a “CQB” .50 that I’d love to get my hands on. Lol

Tikka rifles are always good. I've had good luck with the Browning long range X-bolts. They are a little finicky with ammo, but once you find the right load they are dead on.

So in resurrecting this thread, if I wanted an entry-level long range rifle, Ruger American in .308 wouldn't be a bad start? Did I understand all this correctly?

No, they're good to go. Just get one with a heavier barrel like the Predator or Hunter model.

Any fat barreled rem 700, tikka or Savage will give you a much better selection of aftermarket upgrades when you wanna do better.

…….and rifles like the Bergara B14 HMR use Rem700 triggers, mounts/rails, and stocks/chassis.

I’m just jumping in to say DADGUMMIT!!! Savage 112 SuperMatch (338lm) went from $900 to $1400 almost over night. I’ll read up later… but it’s seeming like if you’re gonna go long? better do it soon?

Probably go 110? Again…

I hadn’t previously been much of o Savage fan but they made (past tense) a model 110 (&111) long range & I’ve been pleasantly surprised & pleased with it. Spent more on the glass than the $1k rifle but was able to dial in in to 600 yards in a matter of a couple of hours.
