Plus, it is a long way walking out to pull your target and walk back.
A 1000 yrds is crazy. I know that military snipers don't have much of a problem but I couldn't even think of going out past 300.

I shot my 1903A3 out to 8-900 yds, prone, sling, and was hitting the bull in wind and rain.
My bog standard Winchester 70 stealth in 308, and a leupold mark4 10x40 shot out to 1000 yards, no problems at all
with 7mm rem mag, 300 yds is zero range.
That's not even trying for a magnum caliber.
I shot 300 winmag to 1375 meters, in Norway, with wind, first shot was a hit
then i packed it up and called it a day, cause i sure as hell wasn't going to improve on that
I actually shoot worse below 300yds with scope, I really don't like short distances.
You get more aiming/optical errors then shooting errors at them short ranges.
