[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 270960, member: 9253"] What's best For me there are three criteria. 1. It's a rifle. 2. I consider the distance it shoots (for the type of rifle) to be long range. See other threads in this forum which ask "What's long range?". 3. For a rifle to be "Best" i must enjoy shooting it more than similar rifles. I would not enjoy shooting just one kind of rifle, so I choose to have several "best" catagories. So my best long range rifles are: 50-70 34" Remington Rolling block - range well over 1000 yards though not supersonic most of the way. My best 100+ year old antique long range rifle. DPSM LR-260 - supersonic to about 1400 yards. - My best long range AR "Black Rifle". 30-378 Sako TRG-S 28" barrel supersoinc to 1800+ yards. My best factory stock long range rifle. Rem 700 with 29.5" Hart Barrel in 7mm STW. Supersonic to 2000 yards shooting 180 Bergers. My best long range rifle I can carry and shoot from a bipod. 50 BMG McBros w/ 40" K&P bore rider barrel. Supersonic to 2400 yards with 750 grain Barnes solids. It weighs 60 lbs. Not sure if it's a best rifle or best artillary piece. I odn't have a practical use for any of them, but what does that have to do with "best". No dobut others will have entirely different opinions what best means and what rifles meet their criteria.
