When it comes to long-range hunting rifles, I am frequently asked two questions. "What is the best rifle money can buy?" is the first question. "What is the most accurate hunting rifle ever made?" is the second question.
Some ammunition will print quite well with good rifles. Great rifles are capable of firing a wide range of ammunition. This is a list of outstanding weapons, all of which are shooters.
1. Seekins Precision Havak Pro Hunter. The Pro Hunter is a near-ideal representation of today's long-range hunting rifle. While it takes design cues from competition rifles, particularly in the stock, it maintains the light weight (7.3 pounds) and lively handling that a competent big-game rifle demands.
2. Browning X-Bolt Max Long Range Hunter. Browning's latest offers excellent long-range hunting performance at a reasonable price, thanks to the company's decision to manufacture the new stock in-house. Browning's smooth three-lug action powers the rifle, which is fed by a rotary magazine that is simple to load and extremely reliable.
3. Mauser M18. This Mauser is one of the most accurate deer rifles you'll find for the money, with a price tag of under $700. It was released in 2018 and is tough, straightforward, and accurate.
4. Proof Switch. The Switch is one of the most accurate pistols we've ever shot off the bench. Mine has produced various bug-hole groupings, including a.181-inch screamer, in 6.5 CM. But it's also a fantastic precision hunting weapon. It's lightweight and portable, weighing just under 7.5 pounds.
5. Savage M10 Stealth. This monstrosity wasn't built to be hauled into the mountains. It weighs 11 pounds 12 ounces empty, with a 26-inch barrel, huge muzzle brake, and robust chassis stock.
6. Christensen Arms MPR. Don't be fooled by the fact that it doesn't look like a classic hunting rifle. The MPR weighs just over 8 pounds and is quite portable, thanks to carbon fiber on the fore-end and barrel, as well as a skeletonized folding stock.
7. Bergara B-14 HMR. Recently, we've seen a handful of tactical/hunter hybrids, but the B-14 HMR nailed the notion. It has a competition-style stock, a large barrel, and Bergara's smooth two-lug action, resulting in a 9.5-pound rifle that can be used for club competitions in the summer and big game hunting in the fall.
8. BadRock Precision South Fork. The South Fork is one of the new PRS Production Class rifles, which must cost less than $2,500. For the price, it provides amazing accuracy and performance. It's one of the most accurate weapons you'll ever own right out of the box.
9. Daniel Defense Delta 5. Daniel Defense, a newcomer to the high-end bolt-action rifle arena, has made an outstanding debut. The outstanding three-lug action in this highly accurate, no-nonsense rifle operates almost effortlessly.
10. Anschutz 1517 American Varminter. Because there is no such thing as an inaccurate Anschutz rifle—the firm produces some of the world's most accurate rifles—I wasn't startled when it grouped bullets in ragged small holes on the target. It puts on a show that makes ground squirrels tremble in their burrows.
