THE 9 BEST BUDGET LONG-RANGE RIFLES $$$ CAN BUY!


by Mark Chesnut
July 25, 2024

Long-range shooting continues to be all the rage, and there’s little wonder why.
Engaging and hitting a target 1,000 yards and beyond is challenging, satisfying
and downright fun!

However, the financial barrier to entry for this sport can be somewhat high for
those of us who have to work for a living. Still, there are some purpose-built
long range rifles that fit into the “budget” category, which we’ll define here
as under $2,000. (That might sound high, but many are three to four times that
price.)

Let’s take a look at nine budget rifles, in order of least expensive first, that
might just help you scratch your long-range itch.




BEST BUDGET LONG-RANGE RIFLES FOR THE MONEY


HOWA ORYX – $725

The Howa Oryx features a full monolithic aluminum chassis with adjustable length
of pull and comb height for a perfect fit to nearly any shooter. The OD green
stock contrasts nicely with the black metal finish of the action and the 1-in-10
twist 20-inch barrel. With an overall length of 39.5 inches, the rifle weighs in
at 10.8 pounds and takes AICS-type mags. Note that the Howa Oryx is available
only in .308 Win.


BERGARA B-14 HMR – $1,079

The B-14 HMR rifle features Bergara’s integrated mini-chassis molded into the
stock to give the rifle repeatable bedding and accuracy. The stock supports a
fully free-floated, Cerakoted barrel that delivers a level of performance that
is outstanding for the price range. The B-14 action is very smooth thanks to a
two-lug system with sliding plate extractor and a coned bolt nose and breech.
Available calibers include .308 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor, .22-250, .450 Bushmaster,
6.5 PRC, .300 Win. Mag., 300 PRC and 7 PRC.


MOSSBERG PATRIOT LR TACTICAL – $1,085

The Patriot LR Tactical delivers a high level of accuracy to extended ranges.
The MDT stock is adjustable for both LOP and cheek rest height, and also
features a contrasting checkered grip and M-LOK attachment slots. Aluminum
V-block bedding of the barrel ensures top accuracy, and a top-mounted 20-MOA
Picatinny rail allows for mounting a scope. With barrel length of 22 or 24
inches, the Patriot LF Tactical is available in .308 Win., 6.5 PRC and 6.5
Creedmoor.


SAVAGE MODEL 10 BA STEALTH – $1,099

The streamlined Model 10 BA Stealth caters long-range target shooting. The
chassis is slim and machined from a single piece of aluminum. The FAB Defense
buttstock features a rubber butt pad, has an adjustable cheek rest and is also
adjustable for length. A Picatinny rail atop the action makes for easy mounting
of an optic, and the gun uses AICS-type magazines. The heavy, 24-inch barrel is
button rifled and custom-fit to the action. Calibers include .308 Win., 6.5
Creedmoor and 6mm Creedmoor.


WEATHERBY 307 RANGE XP – $1,200

Not a chassis rifle, the lightweight vertical grip stock still includes an
adjustable cheekpiece and adjustable length of pull, providing a custom fit for
any shooter. Range XP is compatible with many aftermarket 700-platform parts,
making it the most open platform in the Weatherby lineup. With an upgraded,
adjustable stock, trigger, bolt, fluted barrel and Accubrake, the Range XP
brings a custom rifle feel, without the custom price. It’s available in 12
different calibers for range to hunting use.




BROWNING X-BOLT MAX LONG RANGE – $1,429.99

The Max Long Range addition to the storied X-Bolt lineup features a composite
Max stock with fully adjustable comb and spacers for adjusting length of pull.
The stainless, fluted heavy sporter barrel is bedded in the front and the rear
of the action for stability and to help maintain barrel-to-stock spacing for
consistent accuracy. It’s also threaded for a muzzle brake with 5/8″-24 TPI
suppressor threads, and features an extended bolt handle and the Recoil Hawg
muzzle brake. It’s available in 12 caliber offerings including 6.5 Creedmoor,
6.5 PRC and .308 Win.


TIKKA T3X UPR – $1,500

With a glass-fiber stock, the t3X UPR doesn’t look like some of the other
long-range rifles on the list, but the features put it squarely in the arena.
The lightweight carbon-fiber stock provides comfort, and carbon-fiber bedding
surfaces increase the stiffness of the stock, improving the rifle’s accuracy.
Other features include a cold hammer-forged barrel, oversized bolt knob and
rough coating to take on inclement weather. Calibers include .308 Win., 6.5
Creedmoor and 6.5 PRC.


RUGER HAWKEYE LONG-RANGE TARGET – $1,619

This rifle’s two-tone target stock features a two-way adjustable comb and
adjustable length of pull, along with a free-floated, cold hammer-forged 4140
chrome-moly steel barrel with 5R rifling. It also boasts an adjustable,
two-stage target trigger with a short take-up stage, followed by a crisp, light
target. Additionally, the non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed
extractor is among the most positive case extraction systems ever invented.
Available calibers include .204 Ruger, .308 Win., .300 Win. Mag., 6.5 Creedmoor
and 6.5 PRC


COLT CBX PRECISION – $1,899

Colt jumped into the precision rifle game in a big way with the CBX Precision
model. The rifle’s carbon steel, button-rifled barrel and flat-bottom receiver
are optimized for ballistic performance, and the gun is backed with a sub-MOA
guarantee. The chassis features an adjustable length of pull and cheek weld, and
the 15-inch forend offers an ARCA rail as well as M-Lok slots. It’s available in
.308 Win. and 6.5 Creedmoor.
