You get what you pay for.
Those cheap russian / chinese rifles use even cheaper ammo = lack luster performance at the range. My advice - buy yourself one of each
Kidding
Grab one of the hundreds of unused christmas presents and have a belt with a .223 if thats grabs your fancy. They do have a lot of benefits - cheaper shop ammo and they'll kill everything upto medium sized game (goats / hares etc).
Long range... to me that changes on the hour. Any reason your projectile is more than 5 clicks sideways off the target due to wind - that to me is a long range shot. I mean there have been days when I've hit the little gong at 1km but due to the lack of wind, it wasn't that hard. Add a steep hill and a roaring wind and then 350m becomes an excessively hard shot - that would be long range for the day.
