    To start with, it is the cartridge's ability that comes into play First! Your first shot in hunting is the one you need! A light weight gun is just as accurate as a heavy gun in that scenario.
    The heavy guns only have an advantage when you have repeat shooting in a short time. OR, You are not able to take hard recoil from the light gun.
    I really dislike .338-06 mountain rifle recoil!
    20 MOA base may not zero at 100yds if you scope dose not have enough travel.
    simplest one would be the .300WM
    What are you actually calling long range? 300yds 600yds? 900yds?
