Best riffes & best ammo and dictionary

[Pikster]

What are some of the best precision rifles on the market and what type of ammo is the best for long range precision shooting (308...or ?) ?

Well to answer your first part, that is one tough question. It depends on how much you are willing to spend, etc.

Are you talking the best precision rifles from big companies, or custom made ones?

Rick at ATR buillds one hell of stick as do PGW. On the ammo, it all depends on what your rifle likes, Federal, Winchester, Hornay, Norma, Laupa, S&B the list goes on. Now if you are talking about a factory rifle, it depends on what kind of $$$ you want to spend, Remington Savage and Tikka build some great out of the box rifles, then you have high end factory rifles like Remingtons high end, Sako, AI and Blaser. The field is endless.

I've heard you can get a Walther WA2000 for $75,000

Out of the box accuracy, class and looks, reasonably priced in IMHO.

Like everyone else has been hinting...best rifle at what price? And also for what purpose? Sky is the limit...until one day when precision shooting means using lasers to hit targets on the moon.

Why? I can guarantee that it's not going to be as accurate as a decently built custom bolt rifle.

As for the best rifle, I'm sure these guys' rifles fit into that category: http://ironbrigadearmory.com/

For starter rifles, Remington, Savage & Tikka LE models...Ammo, Hornady TAP or Black hills is an exellent choice.

whath is the best load for paper punching fro 308w?

Well, some guys use the 308 in Palma matches, so use a boatload of Varget and an applicable (read 155 grain) bullet.
I also mess with the 168 IHBT and 39 grains of IMR4895.
Edited to include that this is a 300 meter load!


Other guys use the 175 for 1,000 meter stuff
The sky's the limit in choices for this very popular cartridge!

Hey I'm looking for a left handed stainless synthetic. I want a WSM (270 or 7) in as light a rifle as I can. So far I'm leaning toward a Browning Stalker in 30-06 (not avalible in WSM yet). Any help input would be appreciated.
