So i'm wanting to get into some longer distance shooting, say 100 - 600 yards, and looking for a good rifle that'll get me going but not break the bank. I'd looked at some Accuracy Internation and FN SPR's in .308 but they are a little out of my price range. I'd looked at the following rifles and wanted to get some feedback.
FN PBR 24" medium heavy barrel or even the fluted FN PBR XP
The Remington 700 police or SPS model
The Savage 12FV or 10FP
I've also looked at topping it with a Bushnell Elite 3200 scope. So any feed back would really help. Thanks guys and gals.
Savage all the way. Decent price, exceptianl performance. I've beat this rifle through the woods for yr's takes a licken keeps on ticken
Occasionally I have a good day.
These two made the mistake of standing side by side right at 222yd. Got them both one shot. It's called MOC (minute of coyote)
Heres a link to whole story on the above shot

umm... I was trying to keep the title short and Entry level sniper rifle is much short then "need a rifle for medium to long range shooting." That way when people are browsing the topics they can easily see what I need help with.
But thanks for leaving me some valuable feedback on a good " rifle for medium to long range shooting." Oh wait you didn't!!
Kimber, I don't know if this is something that you might be interested in but here is what I have in the works.
I have an old Inter-arms 30-06 that has been in the gun safe for the last 20 years. It is what I call my " Loaner" you know, the one that I loan out when the kids in the neighborhood are going on their first deer hunt with uncles or cousins. I plan to turn it into a custom rifle.
I am ordering a Clark medium barrel out out of Raton NM. I'm having it chambered in 6.5 by 284 and putting a Jewel trigger in it. Still undecided as to the stock.
The 6.5 by 284 is what they are using in the video " Beyond Belief" by Long range video productions.llc.
If anybody is interested in long range shooting this video outstanding. I know four people who are using the 6.5 by 284 for shooting 1000 yard matches with 140 grain Berger bullets.
I am hope to be under 500 bucks ( not counting the scope ) when I am finished. This should be an honest 700 yard rifle. If you can pick up a 30-06 action or pawnshop rifle take a look at putting together a custom.
Sooo you'd like a license to commit murder.......... :wacko:
