[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 912704, member: 54963"] Not sure how many "out of the box' 1k yard rifles are really out there. 1,000 yards is a loooooong way. If you want to start with a factory rifle, I would consider what actions are best for re-barreling with a custom barrel, because you will probably end up doing this sooner rather than later. M700 actions are probably at the top of this list. Also, you will need an aftermarket trigger, probably Jewel will be at the top of this list for target / bench rest type shooting. Not to mention stocks and glass bedding. It has already been discussed about setting up for loading your own ammo. You may want to speak to a reputable gunsmith or talk to several people who shoot 1k regular to see what they shoot and recommend. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
