i've got the long range bug and i'm fixin' to get a 1000 yard scope

i need a 1000 yard rifle to go with it

i don't think my 25 06 will cut the mustard much past 500 yards

i'm talking hunting deer, antelope, coyotes and probably a bunch of rock targets

i may never take a 1000 yard shot on a game animal but i need something with mild recoil that'll get out that far

looks like the 6.5 creedmoor might get the job done

what do you think?

That's awesome djones! Looks like a great time!

I shot a 200 yard group with my Creedmoor on Saturday with the 139 Lapua Scenar. 4 shots, measured .24" at 200 yards

It piled shot on top of shot on steel plates at 300 and 580. The load showed consistent lack of vertical even at 1380

I don�t understand factors that bring a bullet back on target at long range when its vector has already veered off an inch at 100, but there is definitely something going on there.


I would have to second that! Mine shoots better at 200 than 100.

????????????
