Need Expert Opinions on Sniper Rifle Twist Rate & Barrel Length

[antco]

You're absolutely right. Distance shooting is new to me. My budget for the the rifle and optic is 2k to 3k. I will not be doing any reloading.

How far out would 175g take you with that rifle? How much was that scope? How much was the TacOps Tango 51?

I'm very interested in a chassis system that is completely modular. I like the idea of a fully adjustable stock and the ability to attach rail segments where I want. If I knew more about exactly how I'm comfortable, perhaps the adjustability wouldn't be as important to me.

1- I don't want to speculate as to what the rifle could do with 175g other than to say the rifle can hold its own against anything in its class as long as the operator does his job.
2- Scope was ~$1900.
3- The rifle was expensive but depreciation seems to track inflation. I could sell it today for what I paid for it 4(?) years ago. Hard to believe it has been that long...

Consider doing what Pinecone said a few posts ago.

And lastly, read. Read, read, read. Educate yourself. Knowledge goes a long way, no pun intended, in long distance shooting.
