Many rifles may fall into the “Long Range Sniper Weapon” category, but in the case of the C15 (or, the Canadian Army’s designation for the McMillan TAC-50) it has the distinction of being a deadly firearm.
And it didn’t just set the record for the longest kill with a rifle; the C15 was used on three separate occasions to set that record over a 15-year time span.

Damn fine rifle, it holds the record.
There are lots of great rifles. Tacticool just doesn’t do it for me.

And I’m pretty sure he never played 2nd base for the Yankees in 1925.
But only 1 in thousands have the ability and training to really use it’s potential. For the rest of us that trusty ole bolt action 308 is all the rife we can handle. (Not that I’m knocking it)

Aaron Ward.
One gets whacked, loudly, then many seconds later, the accomplices may hear a long distant POW!
Some of those afghans on video do flips off their perch upon contact with 750 grains of death.
Hard to beat a bolt action.

Nor should you. I can regularly hit an IPSC steel target with an out of the box .308 Savage rifle/Nikon scope combo at 600 yards. I do use hand loaded match grade ammunition. I’m confident enough in my gear and my skill to believe I could score hits at 800 if I had to.
I shoot with people who have certified hits at one mile using .50 BMG bolt guns. I met a woman who has documented hits at 1,000 yards with a 6.5 Creedmore bolt gun.
The skill of the workman often matters much more than the price of the tool.

McMillan TAC-50C
Item Number: MCMTAC50C
Your Price: $11,999.99 EA
Details are scarce but the 2+ mile shot taken in Iraq in 2017 (also shot from a McBro's Tac-50) might have been a CBS but the peripheral details of that give me to believe that that shot was a deliberately orchestrated technology demonstration for DARPA's EXACTO self-steering bullet.
It also bears mention that the McMillan Brothers buy the one component of the TAC-50 that is most responsible for its precision -- the barrel -- from Lilja. And Lilja will be happy to make a barrel for whatever rifle you own.
