Not bad...how do you think it would fare against an Accuracy International..Those are some serious sniper rigs!!!

Garminator, this is a deer rifle! :)

RE: 1,000 yard deer rifle...
 

I be the first to question the need for a 1000 yard deer rifle. I think the rifle you have built is wonderful, and wonderful for the purpose of target shooting but not deer hunting.

I have been shooting Highpower XC, and Long range competition for years.

Highpower XC is a series of matches from 200 yards standing to 600 yards prone while the long range is a 1000 yard prone match.

I see you have a 6x284....The 6.5X284 was really developed and used quite extensivley by the long range crowd these days in target competition.

Shooting paper and shooting a game animal are two very different things and although I have shot 1000's of rounds at long ranges in competition my personal limits on a game animal is 400 yards.

I am not trying to sound Holier than thou in this, but I urge you not to shoot at deer or any game animal at those distances.

Your muzzle crown. It looks like it is recessed about 10 degrees or so.

RE: 1,000 yard deer rifle...
 

My 50 BMG can outshoot this gun at 800 + yards. 2" groups at 900 yards using AR-50 with 750 Gr. Hornady A-Max reloads. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Barrel is larger than the action screw in. Recessed.

RE: 1,000 yard deer rifle...
 

Yes, the muzzle is recessed with a series of 4 steps or actually a crown within a crown. This is more cosmetic than anything else as my trade mark on big barrels like this is usually a "triple crown"...

Yes again, the barrel is larger than what the receiver is and as such, I left the recoil lug off and the shoulder of the barrel itself acts as the recoil lug with the minimal recoil generated by the cartridge....

Well, doggone I have not seen a 6mm-284 before. Don't have any tables that go out to 1k either. What kind of energy does it have at 1000?

RE: 1,000 yard deer rifle...
 

Off the top of my head, I do not remember what the foot pounds of energy is at 1,000 yards but I do know that the Hornady 105 gr. A-MAX will perform on deer at that distance as I have personally made one-shot kills at that distance and beyond as well as having witnessed others making kills at 1,000+ yards using the same bullet....
