$3500 for long range raifu

Hey guys, need some help as I've never been in a position with this much disposable cashish for gun.
>Budget of $3500 for long range raifu
>Want to go with AR-10 type but open to bolt-gun as well
> Pref. 308 cal.

Preferably a complete rifle.

Hungover as shit, but hopefully that made some sense. Any tips, suggestions are much appreciated.

Don't bother with any AR platform for a long range rifle, you would be wasting your money on something that is limited by a semi-automatic action.

>$3500
You could spend half on an AR-10 for shorter distances (400-600 yards) and then still pick up a very nice bolt gun for longer distances. Unless you are going to double that amount the variation you are looking at is going to be minimal.

if you go boltgun, consider a GRS laminate stock. They're very well designed for long range precision shooting

For a top tier scope, I'd go NightForce 8-32x56mm NXS . It's 2k so you'd need to stretch your budget to get a rifle under it

Fist off, is the $3500 budget for the gun alone or do you need to get an optic in that budget as well?

If you need glass, I'd budget at minimum $1000 for glass.

What I would probably do is pick up something like a Tikka T3x Tac A1 in 308. You can pick them up for $1800 through cabelas. You can get something like a Vortex PST Gen II for right around $1000 and have $700 left over to put into a solid bipod or a nice rest, maybe pick up a chronograph or some reloading equipment if you don't already have those things.
If you're not hand loading already, I'd definitely set aside some money out of your budget to start. You're going to have better luck with good hand loads through a mid range gun than you will with factory ammo through a top of the line rifle.

Op here.
I forgot to mention that I already have a Remington 700 in 7mm rem mag with some decent glass. It's old school (mid 70's mfg I believe) And it shoots like a dream.

The $3500 is all gun. no scope or extras. I figured I'd try for a good semi-auto that I can use both for long range, I live in AZ. As well as for potential hunting down the road.

If that's the case, you can pick up a GAP-10 G2 right around $3k

>le semi auto is less accirate maymay XD

I have one, the Berserk, and, with the probable exception of the GRS Bolthorn, I'd rather have a MacMillan.
If I was OP, I'd look into getting a SSG3000 and put the rest into getting a Spuhr one-piece mount with enough tilt a good scope for it (Schmidt & Bender PM, Kahles K624i, or maybe an IOR Recon if you're cheap), and then look at bipod, rear bag or whatever.
