Best commercially available long range target rifles are made by Savage as proved by their track record in competition. Check out their web site for one using the .308 Win. cartridge. That rounds a good choice for a single one to be used in all types of long range matches, if competition is your desire.

There are better actions to build a custom one on, but that's another chapter in the long range target book.

What specific type of long range target shooting is your interest?
