Yeah, I know what he meant. The point is that the antis are going to use it against us if we keep calling scoped rifles "sniper" rifles, and black guns "tactical". Pretend for a second that Hillary Clinton just reffered to your scoped rifle as a "sniper rifle" or your glock as a "tactical pistol". Do you feel comfortable with Hillary Clinton calling them that? Because if you keep calling them that, so will she.
Sounds more like a $1605 rifle to me.A sniper rifle is ANY rifle that happens to be in the hands of a "real" sniper...or did you miss the part of that movie where he shot those guys in the shed with that 22lr...all head shots from 100 yards (maybe it was 200...don't remember now)...from a boat no less. Hollywood??? Certainly...but the point is valid.
Now to answer your question...
The cheapest rifle that I know for sure to work (because I have one) is the Remington SPS Tactical...I got mine for $580 off Gunbroker + $600 for a decent scope + $200 for bases (20 MOA) and rings + $225 for a better stock.
Best 100 yard 5 shot group so far is .231 MOA
Best 900 yard group so far is .780 MOA (7.02 inches across widest point)...not bad for a sub $600 rifle.
