I have 2 rifles, a Barrett .50 and a Trackingpoint 6.5 CM that are rock solid at 1,000 yards and then some. The Barrett is about a 1.2 MOA with the Hornady 750 round and the TP is easily a sub MOA gun with a couple different rounds.

Good optics are a major part of the equation, and realistically just the glass alone will bust your budget.

I wish you the best, but good luck getting a consistent 10” @ 1,000 yards, that’s good enough to have won a local match against guns costing $5-15,000.
