Hello guys I'm new here and am looking for.some help picking my first rifle, I do have a pistol which I have gotten pretty decent with but I don't have experience with rifles. And before anyone lectures me on the meaning of a sniper, no I'm not in the military nor am I looking to kill anyone but I thought I'd include the word since obviously rifles used by trained snipers must be pretty accurate.
Basically I'm looking for opinions on the best rifles that are accurate at very long distances, preferably up to 500-1000 yards which I know is hard to get to but it would be nice to have something that can do the job should I get that accurate with the rifle. So what are your thoughts? Would something like an AR do the job or would I need a bolt action?
Also if you guys don't mind I'd like to know which you guys think is the best rifle for a reasonable price and which is the best if price is not an issue. Thanks in advance.
