[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 3052650, member: 27307"] Given these two constraints, the most important factor is the ammunition and the bullet. Most hunting style bullets do not perform well as target bullets especially at 1,200 yards. There might be an exception but they are not loaded in factory ammunition. It will take some studious searching and maybe even some conversations to help with these selections. If on the other hand, shooting targets at 1,200 yards is just for piddling fun;), nearly any of the higher performance factory ammunition can be made to work. Also be sure to consider the barrel twist rate when trying to find accurate factory ammunition. After all is said and done, be sure to purchase as much ammunition as you can find in the same lot number to assure you of a long life of hunting and targets shooting! Enjoy! :) [/QUOTE]
