If you are beginning, I would start with less than long range- a good 22LR target rifle at 100 yards. The skills you learn there will carry over to very long range shooting. Once you have mastered that, the next step will depend on what you call long range. To some people, that is 300 yards- to others, 1200 yards. 5.56 mm ARs, .6mm and .308 bolt rifles are popular choices. Please do NOT start with a .50 BMG or .338 Lapua.
Savage makes an out of the box, 1000 yard rifle capable of 1/2moa accuracy. I think retail is 1200 dollars.
Single shot bolt action .22 rifle.
No way to answer. Any target rifle could fill the bill.
.223 (maybe) definitely a .243. The BEST deer rifle is a 25-06 (Long story short .223 = good not much effect, .243 = GREAT for beginner, later on you will want a 25-06. 25-06 = BEST!)
There is no such thing as the "best" weapon. All weapons have their disadvantages. For example, the energy sword is one of the better close range weapons while the sniper or focus rifle are best for long range. It all depends on how good the user is and how good the target is
it depends on what your hunting
CheyTac, holds world record for target shooting.
anything in 30/06

The 45/70 is best kept in the 0-150 yard range out of a lever gun.
One of the best is a Feinwerkbau Westinger & Altenburger. Biathlon Air Rifle Model P700 Aluminum. Average cost $2,480. It's an Olympic Match Rifle. The best air rifles for target shooting are Olympic Biathlon match rifles.
