For that matter 200 yards is the maximum I ever get to hunt out here. But on a range, yeah I've shot at a 1000 yards and hit what I was aimming at. That's with open sites (national match though). It's not that hard to do. Just takes practice!
Here is a link you need to check out. There is a sedrvice rifle course of fire and pictures.

Here is another link to the NRA approved 1000 yard course of fire. Under equipment noticed the rifles listed.

There aren't any clubs in Maryland that have 1000 yard ranges, hell it is hard finidng one that is more than 100 yards. If I want to shoot really long ranges I have to go to private farms.
The first link talks about 600 yards as the longest range and the second link, I cannot seem to get to.
