How much money you got?
Long range precision - what is your definition of Long Range?
Those of us that are stretching as far as we can is all based on altitude where you are shooting - which defines the maximum range the bullet is supersonic with the ammunition selected.
I shoot at 4600 ASL and above, so I can get to 1000 yards with the gr ELD ammo and an 18" Bartlien barrel running 2476fps at the muzzle. I need more work on my skills to actually get first round hits at that range. Right now I am good to 600. Past that I have to walk them in (fire for effect). A fair portion of that has to do with my data input on my ballistics which I hope to correct some of it today.
I have $1800 in that Bartlien upper, another 1k in optics, and $600 in the lower. I have a 24" Lilja that can do the same, but I stole that whole rifle for about 50% of cost, plus another $1k in optics.
Another member here routinely gets out to 1k with accuracy with a 17" Lilja.
Bottom line, the farther you want to shoot, the more money you are going to have to invest in a barrel, optics, trigger, and other peripherals. Proof Research, Bartlien, Lilja, Kreiger, Balistics Advantage, Larue (maybe), Criterion....
