Don't rule out the AR platform a semi-auto at long range has the benefits of fast follow-up shots. I have three rifles designated as tacticle, the first is a DPMS Panther Bull Special with a 6.5 x 20 power mil-dot reticle scope used for close range (out to 600 yards with the 73 grain berger's), the second is a DPMS LR308 with the same Leupold scope for mid-range and the third is an M40A1 in 300 win mag built by Mike Lau at Texas Brigade Armory with a Leupold 8.5 x 25 30mm scope with Mil-dot reticle for when you really need to reach out and touch someone. The DPMS ARs are extreamly accurate right out of the box, I have shoot 1 1/2 inch groups at 500 yards with the Panther Bull Special. I also have many Savage rifles and they are also remarkably accurate so you can't go wrong there either.
