friend who recently bought a 9mm and .22lr (so technically 2nd rifle but first hunting/long range rifle) told me he wants a "quality" rifle that he can shoot far.

I doubt he'd want to spend 1k on the rifle, so probably in the $600 class.

Off the top of my head I was thinking, 270win. or 30-06 in maybe a tikka or savage?

also was thinking maybe .308 class... 7mm-08, .243win...

or maybe even the 6.5mm-284? but I think standard cartridges/cheaper ammo he'd probably want vs. anything semi exotic.

I think he probably is thinking target/tactical but I kinda was saying think about a hunting type rifle, maybe put a bipod on it... kind of a dual purpose or just a hunting class rifle you can shoot semi-long range, I think he's thinking 200yds but potential for more.

Any suggestions/ideas? Thanks.
