Check out one of the FN FAL variants. I have a L1 A1 that I
built from parts that I love. It is accurate and reliable.
It is a bit heavy.

All the rifles mentioned are excellent. However before we can make a recommendation he must define range and accuracy that is needed. An SKS with a thirty round clip is deadly but its accuracy at longer ranges is lacking. At a 100 meters it will ruin you whole day.

A Remington 700 chambered for .270 or 30:06 will reach to 300 yards if you have a decent scope on it. 100 yards every time, 200 yards most of the time, 300 yards if you are good, have match ammo, and can read the wind correctly. After 300 yards it gets very damn iffy.

Ditto on the FAL. You could get a decent basic one for arond 800 bucks the last time I checked. Don’t wait! Prices are going up! I bought my M1A many years ago. The price has tripled in 20 years.

If you're looking at FN, the SCAR-H has been getting good reviews by the Special Ops community.
