My first 1000 yard rifle.

Sooo….I love PayPal credit. Several times a year they do 24 months with 0% interest. I just keep $400 a month going to my account and it covers everything. Wife doesn’t notice.

Is it a 20MOA base? Maybe the Nightforce has plenty of elevation adjustment to go out to and beyond 1000. I just don’t know.

20 MOA base. Yes. The scope has 100 MOA elevation and 60 MOA windage adjustment.

Nice! You should be good to go with 70 elevation minus the dead zone. For those who don’t understand this. Here is a great video explanation.

100 MOA? Wow - sounds like lobbing artillery rounds. Kidding. Yeah, that's one hell of a nice rig.

I'll have to watch this a few times. I bought a Bergara in 6.5CM with dreams of long range shooting but so far only worked out to 300 yards. Now I'm just holding tightly the few rounds of 6.5CM I have left.

Has anyone taken long range classes at Peacemaker, worth it?

The Intro to Long Range class at PNTC is quite good. So is their Kestrel class, for that matter.

I've also shot my RPR 308 over at Frontier Range, and it's really running out of steam at 1100+, even with 175 FGMM. The barrel is just not long enough (only 20"), and you really need every bit of velocity you can for those ranges. If I ever rebarreled my RPR, I'd go much longer, like 26", with a heavier contour, which I think would be enough to deal with frontier adequately.

I just took my new rifle over to PNTC for the intro class.. A great way to ring steel out to 1000yds.
I'll go back for either the intermediate or the advanced once I get my dope worked out better. BallisticAE let me down a bit with it's data, need to work on that.
