Are you looking to build your own or buy a complete rifle?

Bleiker and Grunig & Elmiger seem to be quite popular.

What is the 300m rifle for? Competition shooting, informal shooting, hunting? Almost any bolt action rifle in .308 winchester, 8mm mauser will be good for hunting, just to name a few. If you want a competition rifle please be specific as to the requirements.

I shoot an AR15 in .223 in 300m NRA high power rifle which requires iron sights. I also shoot a Remington 700 in .308 with a bipod and a scope in a sniper competion at 300m, but it's way too heavy to carry for hunting at 15lbs.

A 300m standard rifle is exactly that.

An ISSF 300m standard rifle!

If I was going to venture into 300m shooting I would start with a Barnard Action, add a Truflite barrel in 6mmBR, put it in a custom alluminium stock and fit Centra sights. But, that's no help if you want an off the shelf rifle.

ISSF and CISM

Why don't you email the manufacturers and ask them for an approximate cost.

Grunig and Elmiger have the prices on their website if you go to the online shopping section. They're very pleasant though, so if you e-mail them, you may get a better deal. Bleiker are more expensive. I was quoted about €4500 for a standard rifle (single shot action) with a spare free rifle trigger mechanism. He's also excellent to deal with however and will do anything you ask of him. Pricey, but the quality is astonishing.
