WTB: 1000 yard rifle and scope

[Deleted member 20812]

Hi all,

Drew an elk tag that might require long shots. I need a rifle that will hold 0.5 MOA to 1000 yards. I hear 6.5 PRC is good. Budget is $1000. Let me know what you have.

I got you! Get the 6.5 Creedmoor the PRC will explode elk within 1200 yards...get Tikka then for the bullets get the ones that say Target because they're more accurate. Also one of the fancy Vortex Diamondback Tacticals with the knobs be sure to mount it on the Extra High rings for clearance. Finally shoot like 5 bullets a week before the season at a paper plate with a permanent marker dot. After that the box of ammo will tell you how high to aim

If it has a Vortex scope with turrets on can up my budget to $1300.

I got a 30-30 carbine I could part with?

ALSO...when taking pictures of your 0.5 MOA group be sure to use a coin to cover any "fliers" because nobody wants to see them on the 'Gram

You can’t kill an elk with one of those.

My Brockelmash’s CDS will cypher 6/10ths of your spec. Never considered feeding the monkey at a thousand yards. I’ll even drive it to ‘Arkansas’

Not enough knock down power.

Does it have a Vortex?

A .270 will bounce off a hog so I’m scared a Creedmore is insufficient.

I want to shoot Berger VLDs in it.

No but it’s rent free.

Creedmore is insufficient.

Inconceivable!

You’re looking at this all wrong. Shooting accurately at 1000 yards isn’t so much about the equipment as it is about:

Is the 6.5 PRC a bad choice?

I have a new Mountain Ops hat. I’ll try this.

In Wyoming, your 1000 yard rifle will be limited to 250 yards when the wind is gusting between 40-60mph.
