    Hmm... That sloppy old trigger, he has to pull it with his middle finger to have the strength to pull it smooth

    The only question I would ask is if he is rolling his own. If he is shooting surplus, I would call BS. If the rifle is bedded, very clean, with good glass, it could be done with a very good shooter, but only if they have slugged the barrel and are turning out very optimized rounds.

    I have a friend who had a Sako Nagant with a .308 bore that could consistently hit an old style 2 lb coffee can(6x8 inches) at 330 yards with handloads and iron sights, but he knew that rifle backwards and forwards. The sights were graduated to 1400 meters, but it's more like a mortar at that distance.

    I'm wondering where in the hell he's shooting 1K in that area?

    That said, I still say the BS flag can be thrown unless he's got a TON of time, money, and effort into it.

    Ahhh the old 1000 yard Mosin myth. There is a fantastic thread over on the Lightfighter hall of fame about the 1000 yard Mosin. Yeah, I call total bullshit. I don't know about your friend but I can confidently say that every other case I have heard about this is clearly someone either mixing up 1000 yards with 1000 feet or 1000 yards for 100 feet.
    Not saying it can't be done, just that it can't be done consistently by guys like us.

    you're not calling BS on a "guy" from jersey. You've been out here too long and getting soft. give me his number i'll call him for ya. Besides 1K yds. There's not any place out there you can shoot that far.

    With circumstances described, guy from Jersey doesn't know the difference between 100 & 1000 yards.
