In my humble opinion, the .30-06 is as capable as the .308 and maybe more so for 1000 yard shoting. With the proper loads and long range bullets that are available it should do the job. There are better cartridges for 1000 yd shooting of course but as a platform your rifle should work OK if you want to change calibers. Any of the better barrel makes like Shilen, Pac-Nor, Krieger, Lothar Walther, McGowen, and some others can supply a match grade barrel for under $400. A time and True job by SharpShooterSupply, a decent stock and bedding job would be my choice and would be around $1000.
