[QUOTE="Morrison, post: 1524668, member: 12911"] If you really want to hunt at 1000 yards, use a cartridge that is better suited than the .308. There is nothing better for big game to begin with than the 300 Win Mag, you can even buy match grade ammo off of the shelf the same as the .308 but you can more effectively use heavier bullets that buck the wind better. Remember that hunting is not sitting at a bench punching paper, you have to carry the rifle all day long when you hunt big game. Heavy barrels and heavy stocks become a burden with time. Perhaps you can use the bench hunting prairie dogs or coyotes but I haven't. [/QUOTE]
