First of all 1,000 yard ranges are far and few in between even in Texas. I happen to belong to one.
Have a local range with 1000 yard range. Never shot on it though.

I had a Leupold Sequoia 10-60x spotting scope (around $500 at the time). It was great to spot bullet holes (.308) to 200 yards, after that it was useless even on a good day.
This surprises me. But makes sense considering the distance.

In your budget I would consider a mountain bike from Walmart/Target.

At my range, the guys that are shooting that distance have their on group and they meet twice a week. Half of them shoot first and the other half operate the targets with the spotting markers. When not with a group we take a few shots and get in the car/truck and drive down to the target.
I'll have to hang around the 1000 yard range, see how it operates and how others manage.
