Best long range target firearm

[sendero72]

1800 yards

I wish I had that kind of distance in SC to practice on. My longest possible shot is 1260. The odds of getting a deer to step out at that range is slim. Hope you have a great season.

I came here to say this

I'm knot sure what you're saying? Nothing comes close to a 6.5 CM ? Is that what your say? Can of Worms there.

The need more has never been a long range hunting rifle. Maybe a good youth gun. 264WM runs circles around it. 85gr HP over 3800fps and 260gr over 3200fps. There are many calibers that will do the job it is what the individual settles in with and can shoot the best with. You have to consider the recoil factor as everyone has a flinch factor as to when there ability to hit where they are aiming.

Folks, I appreciate absolutely ever piece of information here. All the great knowledge on this site has filled up my research folder in my brain. A lot of stuff is out of reach here in canada, also a lot of this stuff is way beyond my level of firearm knowledge. I have no Idea about reloading. I like the challenge of long range targets, not so much animals as any fool can hit a target that big lol, the Tim Hortons cup is a different ball of wax. It seams the 30-378 has the numbers of a long range weapon. A readily available produced firearm. No its not the best nor is it my first choice but the numbers don't lie.
Bartlein barrels? Is this the top of the line barrell these days? Any input is greatly appreciated

Are you a Canadian AI chatbot?

No sir. I'm wouldn't not a fan of 6.5 cm

6.5 Creedmoor is no good

 

[sendero72]

The Creedmore is very good if you stay within its range.

Nah the 257 owns that class

I think weatherby is the best commercially made fire arm. I only have 2 of them. I never touch either one. The 257 weatherby has taken everything on hooves. The 257 was Roy's favorite.

I would agree that the . 257 is a great caliber and have thought about buying one just as a deer rifle. I gave a 7m accu mark mag to my son that worked well but i like the 30-378 better. And those accumarks are just about indestructible.

My buddy and I ordered same rifles just different colored stocks . He said he was about a year out on current builds , that was in June . I'm in no rush by any means as he needs time to do his magic . But how in the heck do you wait in anticipation without going nuts ? This is our first custom build .
