Which is why they used a .308 Saiga.

Still, .308 isn't exactly an optimum "1000 yd" round. Would have been better to start with a 7.62x54 AK and then rechamber it in something like .338 WinMag (I think Lapua would be too long to fit the action).

Of course back in the day .303 British dominated 1000meter competition.
