Im searching for a long range target rifle, but I'm new to this and open to suggestions.
First, let me start off with my criteria:
-Must be chambered for non-intermediate round (i.e.: no .223s; preferably .308, .30-06, or even .270)
-Must be drilled and tapped for scope; iron sights are not required
-Bolt action preferred, but semiauto is an option
-Under or around $1500 for the rifle w/out optics
That's pretty much it for my preferences thus far. There are a few guns I have had my eye on. Any feedback on these would also be greatly appreciated:
-Armalite AR-10 (.308)
-Tikka T3 Tactical (.308 w/ 20" barrel)
-Remington 700 (in .308, not sure which particular model yet)
-Steyr Pro Hunter (.270 with 22" bbl)
This is just a list of rifles I have looked into a bit, it is by no means an exhaustive list. I would like to be able to obtain at least MOA accuracy out of whichever gun I end up getting. I would also like to add a bipod, if not already included, and I want to do a paint job later on.
Also, why does the Tikkat T3 seem to be an arm and a leg more expensive than anything other than maybe a Sako or Accuracy International gun? What's so special about it? Thanks.
