Buy recommendations Long range rifle

Hey all
Looking for a long range rifle and need help from people that know more than me about it. So I am thinking about 6.5 creedmoor or 338 lupa. I will probably not fire more than 2000 yards so think the 6.5 should be good any help would help. My budget is 8-15 for rile and scope feel free to send what you think you would buy
Thanks
Brad

Lol if you think you'll be even within 10m of a 1moa target at 1000 if you're only shooting 200 per year

I shoot probably about 40000-60000 rounds per year. How about you? My Ruger 22/45 I do 20-30 a year

Ok but is that at distance? Are you logging dope? Are you learning how to read wind?

I'm not trying to be rude but you're skipping a whole bunch of skill aspect. Did you watch a video from Sam and Mark AW, Texas plinking or impact shooting and think 'i want to do that' ?

I’m leaning and going to take a long rang shooting course by me here in BC I’m not going out and trying to shoot 2000 yards on day one but don’t want to buy the wrong gun and my over all goal to hit a target at that range.
