First precision rifle suggestions

Buggy · Nov 14, 2025

I want to get my first precision rifle, but I don't know where to begin. I watched some people shoot long range last month, and now I'm into it. I have about $1500 for the rifle itself...I could spend a little more if needed. What rifle and caliber should I get to start learning precision shooting?

I think the Ruger Precision is the best out of the box set up on the market right now, especially in that price range.

6mm or 6.5CM will be good options with more ammo availability on the shelf for 6.5CM

A 6.5 Creedmoor in a reliable bolt gun is a good starting point. The recoil is easy to handle and you'll learn a lot

I’ve heard good things about the Ruger Precision

Thanks, that’s exactly what I was thinking. 6.5 Creedmoor seems like the right balance for learning precision without being punishing on a first rifle

A Ruger American or Savage Axis in 6.5 Creedmoor is a good choice with optics.
