Ultimate 1,000+ yard rig

[Whitetail312]

What would your ultimate 1,000+ yard rifle be for any North American game? Let's keep it to pack weight so under 13 pounds or so with optics!

 

[Overkill338]

I will stick with the same answer. GA Precision rifle in .300 Norma Mag or .30-378 Roy, with a 8-32x56 NF.

I'm sure if you told GAP you needed it under 13 lbs hunt ready, they would make it happen.

a 1000 yards for any game is way out there and i hope you are an expert because its got problems written all over it ! a 1000 yd rifle would be a 6 5x284, 6.5 creedmore, and various 300's such as .308 with 168 gr lr

 

[TXAoudadKlr]

My 300AX with 215's would be fantastic, 3300FPS might be a bit much up close 300 yards and in but past that.

maybe punchin paper or dingin steel but for 1000 yards huntin I would tote a bit more than those. None of those rifles will have anywhere close to 1000 lbs of energy at 1000 much less than the 1500 needed. I would say that they were only half of what you need JMO

i like what "overkill338" said, i have a 30-378 Roy & love the way it performs.

I'm having matching guns built in 300PRC and 338 Lapua by Mile High Shooting. Defiance Deviant action, AG Composite Alpine Hunter, Rock Creek Barrel carbon fiber wrapped by a friend who has a proprietary process, Timney CE 2 stage trigger, the 300 with a TB break to run suppressed, and APA CIP bottom metal.

Basically this but with different bottom metal and carbon barrel. Oh and this is a manners stock.

Custom 300 Norma or Norma Improved, Proof Barrel, Manners Hunting stock, great trigger, and 5-25X56 scope.
