Subjective I understand. BUT....Regardless of cost, if you could purchase any rifle you wanted tomorrow what would it be?
1. Most accurate?
2. Most reliable?
Thanks!

I was just asking what people’s go to brand rifle is for accuracy and reliability. Their favorites, what they consider is the best to them.

Nothing wrong, amigo. Can't even begin to answer the "best" question until I have an idea of what is important to you.
Trying to help ya. Good luck.
The "best" hunting rifle may not be best suited for bench shooting.
The "best" semi auto gun may not be suited for 10m olympic target contests
The "best" for me is highly unlikely to be the "best" for anyone else that does not shoot with me, or shoot like me .
As far as do I prefer accuracy over reliability...again not a black and white answer.

First Runner up RAW HM1000x in 25. Why this isnt first on my list? It's loud and can't easily DIY quiet it where the Sumatra you can quiet it by purchasing items needed. It is also pretty damn heavy. Accurate reliable all good. Sumatra no regulator to give problems and already proven 100+ yard accurate easy and extremely pellet friendly.
Would have been third a Daystate Redwolf if it weren't for recent posts on being sick and other lost power and another inaccurate.
Would have been a Daystate Pulsar fourth but shares electronics with the Redwolf.
Would have been fifth hands down Taipan Veteran hadn't been for recent regulator issues.
Actually the Kaliburgun Cricket would finish top portion on the list haven't heard of issues. Has a regulator so it wouldn't finish first place. Has to be an unregulated gun to be first place. Maybe RAW stripped of its regulator like the Theoben Rapids then yes.

Okay I appreciate that. I didn’t think to get into the weeds with details. I just looked at it as an all around general question but I guess it really isn’t.
Thank you

Currently I'm gonna say a Daystate Redwolf or Safari as far as a repeater goes. I like the refinement in these and love the easy cocking effort you get regardless of power level. I hate how hard it is to cock some of the competing rifles at the higher fpe.
Thomas for a single shot, with MAC1 USFT close behind it.

@ClarkT - JimNM isn't upset at all. We see these questions often and the answer IS very subjective, as you stated. But, you're asking this question to people with a tremendous amount of experience here and we'd like to steer you in the best direction for your intended use. What's best, in our opinion, for one thing isn't best for something else.
Example - I did a video on the best rifle created. However, I rarely shoot it. Why? Well... it's the best due to what it did for the industry, IMO, but I can easily outshoot it. Most Technologically advanced air rifle? Red Wolf (today). Best for hunting & best for benchrest may be vastly different rifles. Put simply, there is no "One ring to rule them all". LOL! You've got to give us a little more info to work with in order to help us help you.
Cheers!

Thanks guys. I guess I didn’t realize what I was asking. I looked at it plainly as most folks seem to like FX Impacts, or Daystate or RAW etc. I don’t have any real criteria as I was just looking for an all around great rifle

Easy answer -- the best PCP Air rifle couples trivially to the best compressor and the best carbon fiber bottle. I take it you're against FX though:

I would go with FX or Slayer. I have two impacts .25 & .30 and Slayers in 308 and 357. Love them all for different reasons.

Gentleman, the written word can be hard to convey subtle nuisances that are clear when spoken aloud.
I have no grief with Clark, and he has no grief with my ham-fisted attempt to help him. I did not use my outside voice in the first post to him and had to go back to add clarification. Sorry Clark for being in too big of a hurry to answer your honest question with a incomplete mental eruption.
Please put the pitch forks down and step back from the brink of mob mentality. Let's get back to Clark's question.
