[QUOTE="greatwhitehntr, post: 1872976, member: 63382"] Define a hunting rifle mime are 12-15lbs for hunting in my home state of Nevada. I have a 30-30 and a 24" barlled 30-06 for in close or thick cover I also have a 6.5x284 that tips in a 7.5 lbs that is good to 600 yards on a good day for sheep huntingin Alaska and I can assure you that they're all different animals. Cold bore is all that counts. 1shot hits. Everything is a constant in long range except the WIND. The wind is what will get you every time. There is a reason that they started King of the 2mile and you don't get all of the sighters or walk the round in for a new record. If the OPs request is for a savage or Remington or Winchester off the shelf with a Bushnell or Nikon 3-9x40 and some cheap blue box federal s to shoot a thousand yards and consistently hit a softball, then NO. For someone who is trying to ethically take game at a thousand yards and spends thousands of dollars on optics,thousands of dollars on a rifle, thousands of dollars on reloading equipment, thousands of dollars on components to make consistent ammunition and practices alot. I don't mean on bluebird sky no wind days.I mean it's steady 10 mph to 15 -20 mph gusts I got to get my *** out of the house and go shoot to see how this works practice, Then yes. [/QUOTE]
