If you want to play the sniper game a 30-06 or .308 is just fine. You need a range finder and a high end scope to adjust for the distance, then it’s all about shot placement, and that’s all about skill. Out of my league.

My most accurate rifle is my Mossberg 100ATR 30-06. It is also my cheapest long rifle. I went for the 30-06 because of the cost of the ammo. I also like the Rem 700 in the 7mm mag caliber because of it’s power. The 100ATR is available in many different calibers. So if you are in the market for long rifle I would take a look at them.
