it depends on what your hunting
Max effective range against a point target, about 600 yds. Max range about 2000 yds.
anything in 30/06
If you are beginning, I would start with less than long range- a good 22LR target rifle at 100 yards. The skills you learn there will carry over to very long range shooting. Once you have mastered that, the next step will depend on what you call long range. To some people, that is 300 yards- to others, 1200 yards. 5.56 mm ARs, .6mm and .308 bolt rifles are popular choices. Please do NOT start with a .50 BMG or .338 Lapua.
There is no such thing as the "best" weapon. All weapons have their disadvantages. For example, the energy sword is one of the better close range weapons while the sniper or focus rifle are best for long range. It all depends on how good the user is and how good the target is
Cheytac inetvention hands down
There is no one "best" of any firearm or cartridge. Depends on the use that it is to be put to.
You will have to define what "long range" means to you. For some it's anything over 100 m; for others 300 m
Rifle fire from a concealed position at long range to a very specific target, rather than just random shooting.
shotgun for close range and rifle for long range.
