[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 318826, member: 10306"] I dont think that you have to shoot a heavy, heavy rifle for 1000 yards. I personally have never taken game at, nor am I ready to take game at 1000 yards, but I use a .338 RUM in sporter weight with a brake and can shoot it prone no problem out to 1000 with near exceptable groups. When the weather is good I can do well our to 650, and this is my first year LR hunting. Depending on how you take recoil, I would try to go with the largest thing that you can handle in 12-13lbs scoped. Not to heavy not to light and it does what you want. 300 Ultra if you dont shoot it lots, .338 Ultra (edge would be better), .338 Lapua. This is if you want to go to 1000 yards+. otherwise I would go with a 7mm or something lighter recoiling. JM [/QUOTE]
