Since you are looking for a "best" rifle, I think you will need to adjust your sights higher than Dakota, Ruger or most of the common name brands. Instead, you could have a best rifle made by a member of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild. For between $10K and $20K you will receive the best of custom rifles that American gunmakers are building today. Or you could go to Hartmann & Weiss, Gottfried Prechtl, Karl-Heinz Ritterbusch, Trevor Proctor, H&H, Westley Richards, or others making guns in Europe for a best quality rifle.
