If you can afford it I highly recommend the Springfield M1A.IMO it's the finest semi-auto platform ever developed for the .308 cartridge.

While 1,000 yards is a bit unrealistic with mine I can hit what I aim at out to 600 yards just about every time. With a decent scope (Lueopold or Nikon) long shots are a great deal easier.

I've got mine topped with the Springfield Rangefinding scope. I think they're out of production now, but if you can find one they're pretty good.

Just remember. You'll never be sorry you bought the best even if it hurts for a while.

That is a great rifle.

Dad had one that we took from time to time.
And I'm looking at a Leopold M3 type with the mil dots.

Very pricey scope. :^)
