[QUOTE="Stokesrjsr, post: 3068425, member: 108548"] Wow, lots of opinions here but 1000 yard 10” groups (which I would restrict myself to) are really far and few when discussing hunting rifles and field conditions. Very few have the skills and knowledge to consistently hit a 10” target with the first shot at 1000 yards. I was just out testing a 338 Norma Magnum Barrett MRAD MK22 mod Zero that will shoot 1/3 MOA at 300 meters and yet at 1,000 yards only a very few can make a first round hit on a 10” plate. I can some days and not others and I am a NRA Long Range High Master. My personal choice for a factory rifle and factory ammunition would be a Weatherby MkV TLR 30-378 Weatherby. With it you can buy factory ammunition up to the task. I would also advise going to Mark Thompsons class. But in addition to that you will need a place to shoot 1,000 yards frequently and learn to read the wind with less tan .5 MPH error. [/QUOTE]
