long range, 1000yards?

Some classic long range cartridges to consider...
.308
6.5mm-284 Norma
.223rem

or perhaps...
7mm WSM
7mm-08
6mm-284
any of the ackley improved's.....243AI, 6mm Rem AI, .223AI, .22-250AI, .25-06AI

do you reload?
looking to hunt with this cartridge? if so what?

typically the 6.5mm and 7mm cartridges are known for their high BC's and long range performance.

btw when you think long range, you think accurate catridges....how fast etc...doesn't matter much if at 1000yds your groups are the size of a barn...

Savage makes some long range model rifles etc....might not look much like a sniper rifle though, perhaps you could get one dipped though to look like one.

check out ed brown rifles as well, he makes a marine sniper rifle or something similar in name...
