[QUOTE="trebark, post: 658552, member: 19172"] Shooting groups at a thousand yards can be difficult even for the most experienced shooter. Personally, although I've shot 1000 yards and beyond, I've never really tried to shoot a group much past 500 yards. Other things to consider.... Trigger - what's the weight of pull on your trigger? for good long range shooting it needs to be at 2lbs or lighter. Barrel Crown - if you're shooting a factory barrel, you might want to recrown the barrel just to be sure that it is square to the bore. Optics - You need top quality optics for long range shooting. If all else fails, send the gun to me and I'll take care of it ;) [/QUOTE]
