[QUOTE="Wall-eyes, post: 402495, member: 1902"] I used to shoot different classes of competition, really depends on what you want to do with the gun. Some of nicer factory guns do shoot pretty good, depends how picky you are and how accurate you would like it to be. I have alot of different factory guns for hunting etc and custom built ones for better accuracy. 1,000 yds you will need a good gun. Back in day we shoot 6BR/ 6 dasher which lop bullets in bulls eye no recoil. Things have changed now days heavier bullets to slip the wind in 284 size of some type or bigger 300 depends on how heavy gun is built recoil wise. I have all of them and really like 284 or heavier with new longer heavier bullets to beat wind. I really like my 338 edge built by Defensive Edge shooting 300grain. Another one is my 7mm caliber shooting 175 to 180 and all custom built to shoot those specific bullets. DO a lot of research there is few guns smiths around state are good or order online. Really is wide open question, it is a very fun sport enjoy and have fun. To me go custom prices all over board to pay. Back in day we took 700 action had them trued and all work done custom barrel shoot very good. Now days with all custom actions just makes more since labor wise to go that route. I hope you reload that makes big difference too. I have some guns built light weight to hunt and pack and some heavy for bench shooting or on tripod of some time, or on ground.
