Re: long range weapons for hunting
talk to a gunsmith on here, I suggest getting ahold of wnroscoe, of LA precision rifles, he's a great guy to talk to and he'll help steer you in the right direction

Any good factory rifle should be more accurate than you are at reasonable hunting distances.

Shoot, how far you gonna shoot to, and what you aiming for?
Most North American Game can be had with a 30-06, or even a .308 so long as shot placement is correct and the right bullet is used. A Remington PSS(24") or SPS(20") would work since they have medium/heavy barrels for sustained accurate shooting. If your hunt is a one round to two round affair, then a typical hunting rig with a light tune up wil be sufficiant.
Tactical LR competition, well, look real hard at what's in the 'Rifle's' section and go from there.

Putting $ into a quality rifle is not wasted $.
