When you are starting out shooting long range, learning to dope the wind will be more important than what kind of rifle you are using. And really, even after you get really good at long range shooting, how well you dope the wind will still be more important than the rifle you are using.
At long range, wind is everything.

This gun may not look like it but it is the best long range gun for the money on the market. This is a Schmidt-Rubin 7.5 x 54.5. The most accurate rifle in World War II. My friend is a competition shooter in Shoots that involve fire arms predating the 70s. He has won several shoots with this gun with many successful shots at over 1000 yards, and that's open site mind you. You can pick one of these guns up for under $150 at big 5 and a good gun smith can set it up for a scope.
Here is a website about the caliber. Don't let the old look of the weapon discourage you, you won't find a deeper shooter for this price.

I just want a good shooter to learn on with some relative standard casing size.
What does everyone have as a distance shooter?

I have heard of stories on the wind and of the different calibers and the movement trajectories and all that jazz.
wind man.. is there really anything good that comes from it?

I would really suggest the Savage, I went with the Law enforcement model, and got a muzzle brake put on it, this last weekend we took some old golf clubs out and jamed them in the ground at 100, 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 yards myself as well as my friend with the same set up, he just put the choate sniper stock on his, were hitting the heads of the golf clubs on the first shot all the way out to the 400, I used to be anti-accutrigger, now I absolutely Love it!!!

I've shot a lot of "long-range" marketed rifles (Remington Sendero, Remington Tactical, Winchester Model 70 Varmint, and others) and none of them have beaten my Savage 112 BVSS out of the box. Mine is a 7mm Rem. Mag, but my dad has a .223 and they're both incredible. 1/4 to 1/2 MOA out to 1400 yards (we've never found a day with windless conditions enough to try anything farther).
Scars are proof...
