  • The Best Long Range Hunting Rifles for 2025: What Serious Hunters Should Know




There’s a reason dedicated hunters and precision shooters obsess over the fine details. One inconsistent trigger pull or an unreliable action can turn a dream hunt into a missed opportunity. That’s why serious shooters are turning to rifle systems that deliver elite-level performance under real-world conditions. Among today’s top custom offerings, Rifle Guru has carved out a name that stands for consistency, craftsmanship, and field-proven reliability.

Whether you’re preparing for a high-country mule deer hunt or sighting in at 1,000 yards, Rifle Guru offers some of the most trusted solutions when it comes to the best long range hunting rifles. Built from experience, tuned by a veteran, and backed by real-world performance testing, these rifles go far beyond off-the-shelf options.

Built to Perform Where It Counts

From wind-whipped ridgelines to wide-open prairies, success in long-range shooting depends on consistency. Your rifle must hold zero, handle unpredictable conditions, and deliver pinpoint precision shot after shot. That’s where Rifle Guru’s custom systems shine.

Each rifle is built using titanium actions, carbon-wrapped barrels, and match-grade components that elevate them into a category all their own. They’re lightweight enough to haul into remote country, yet durable enough to handle thousands of rounds without a hitch.

We chamber our rifles in today’s most efficient, field-proven cartridges—like 6.5 PRC, 7mm PRC, and .300 WSM. These rounds are favored for their flat trajectories, manageable recoil, and terminal energy. Whether you’re punching steel at 1,200 yards or dropping a bull elk at 600, you’ll feel the performance difference immediately.

If you’re looking for the best rifle for long range accuracy, this is it.

The Functional Advantage of Rifle Guru Builds

Every detail in our rifle systems is intentional and rooted in experience. As a U.S. Army veteran and former police officer, our founder Jeff Ostrom has spent decades in the field—shooting, hunting, training others, and refining what works when it matters most.

Here’s what sets our rifles apart:

Feature Purpose
Custom-Matched Load Development In-house, tailored handloads matched to your rifle’s barrel harmonics
Titanium or Stainless Steel Actions Reduced weight, extreme rigidity, and durability
Carbon-Wrapped Barrels Excellent heat dispersion, precision, and lightweight carry
Premium Optics Mounting Each scope is installed, leveled, and zeroed for your chosen distance
Field-Tested Ergonomics Designed for stable shooting from prone, tripod, or blind setups

We even pre-program the ballistic DOPE (Data on Personal Equipment) into your rangefinder and turret system, so you know your holdovers in any environment.

This level of precision isn’t something you find at big-box retailers—it’s something you feel when everything just clicks.
