[QUOTE="sweeney, post: 402473, member: 453"] such a rabbit hole, With todays ballistic solvers and quality of optics and rifles if you get a big enough steel target almost anything can be a 1000 yard rifle. on YouTube the channel "texas plinking" has a 1 moa 1000 yard challenge, go through and watch that series and you will see that a variety of guns and calibers can make hits out that far from stock factory savage,bergaras,etc to semi custom rebarreled remington actions to full out customs. But a 10" target at 1000 yards is pretty humbling when shooting in the wind. Me personally i fell in love with low recoil and being able to spot my misses some guys like bigger calibers and higher bc's however. I think good reliable optic, ballistic solver, rangetime, good trigger to go along with a quality barrel and ammo in any of the 6 to7mm calibers is a good start, being able to have a selection of good bc ammo and lighter recoiling rig will get you started fine. If its something you like and want to spend some serious cash before you know it you will have a pile of stuff you have upgraded to and a custom rifle from one of the reputable gun smiths around.
