[QUOTE="jpd676, post: 1524160, member: 27751"] There are many ways to get to 1k. A .308 at 1000 yards takes a fairly skilled shooter. Many factory loads won't reliable get you to 1000 yards but some will. A 308 is an ok choice but a 6.5 creedmore has some advantages as you listed. I would recommend you look at a Savage with an accutrigger and an accustock. Savages are generally great shooters out of the box; Remington's can be but my experience is some shoot and some don't. The Hogue stock on the 700 (or the chep plastic stock) probably doesn't have a bedding block which means less consitency and less accurate at longer ranges. I would recommend a heavier barrel for long range accuracy. I would suggest you look at Super Sniper fixed power scopes, a 10x will get you to 1000 yards. They retail at 300 and you can find them used for much less. I'm not sure what you budget is for a rifle/optics and that might change what people reccomend. [/QUOTE]
