I'm looking for the best rifle $2000-3000 can buy?

Question

i live in australia so nothing like buy a tank,preferably as accurate as possible...i know not alot of info but any ideas will be appreciated

Answer 1

I would say to get a Remmington 700 and spend the rest on GOOD optics for the weapon. The 700 will get the job done. Glass is even more important with a good weapon.

Answer 2

In all my years in hunting their are 2 guns that i love and are impressive for shooting both boars and deer is firstly the .222 and the the 22 magnum they can shoot up to 300 to 400 yards..

Answer 3

Any Remington, Savage, or Winchester Brand in 30-06 or 308 caliber can be had for $500.00 to $700.00.. With a 3 X 9 Variable scope included.*

Answer 4

It would really be swell if you had included what your intended use for this rifle would be.

You could spend 2-3K on any number of rifles

Everything from an Olympic grade10M air rifle

Later: To answer your added info - I would have to agree with "dca". A Remington 700 in .308 along with a good Leupold* scope should do the trick. You could spend more, but, I see no reason to. That set-up will do the job out to 500 yards, if you do yours.

*The Leupold VX-III 3.5-10x- 50 runs about $550 USD
