I'm a huge fan of the 416 Barrett... think you need to get you one of those.

 

[BrandonM]

or go even longer with the M777 Howitzer.

Just a thought.

 

[QTRMOA]

What is intended purpose of rifle?
What do you consider long range?
What is the furthest distance you have shot?
What is your budget for rifle?
What is your budget for optics?

I shot 1000yds with every thing from 5.56 to a 300 WinMag. It all depends on what you want/afford. 5.56 you'll burn barrels and your brass won't be reusable. The 300WM barrel will last you about 1500 rounds the brass is usable, but the recoil can be troublsome. I've built a wildcat which is the 6x284. It is a 6mm/243 bullet weighing 107 grams and a 284 case necked down to 6mm. It travels about 3700 ft persecond and the barrel ilfe is the same as a 300WM with out the recoil.
