Good call on the phone scope, maybe a remote to start stop the video.

You had me at "selling all my rifles". So what you got?

Here is something to consider. A carbon fiber wrapped barrel isn't something you can shoot & shoot for a couple hours on the range learning your wind and practicing fundamentals. They aren't built for that. They are for a weight reduction and 3 round accuracy. Instead, get your ELR 300 (whatever) range gun first, a straight taper, or MTU barrel that can withstand lots more shots before resting to cool. By the time you're spun up with that, you can roll out with the 6.5 carbon rig and you can practice those first two round hits from supported positions.
My equipment goals are; some weights for my MDT chassis, and a v shaped rear sand filled bag. I think the V shaped bag let the bag rider slide more unobstructed. Oh, and a pair of 15X56 binos.

Nice goals! my question is what have you got now? maybe sell one and use that to re-barrel the other and buy reloading equipment, if you don't have any already. with a re-barrel you can pretty much chose whatever cartridge fits your bolt face and action.
1k yds is not difficult with the right equipment and the first time you ring the gong will be like your first buck.
