    Well 1 mile ranges especially in the east would be a very rare thing. Fact is I haven't ever heard of one.
    1000 YDS yes, there are some, including 3 within about 75 miles of our camp.
    I can shoot to 2 miles from the front yard, and about any distance under that if the leaves are off the trees.
    I have a friend who owns a reclaimed strip mine and currently has steel targets starting at 800 and going to a mile.
    He could and will ultimately have them to 2000. He also has shooting shacks built on the property, allowing for shooting/hunting in poor weather.
    I'm going to flat out tell you the opinions you have are wrong. And that will affect the goals you've set for yourself.
    I don't think you have an experience issue. If you had the opportunity to shoot, you would recognize that very quickly.
    You will not be shooting accurately, consistently, at the distances you desire with anything less than a 338.
    And preferably one that will send a 300 gr bullet at 3000 fps, and more is even better.
    And that means BY BY to a Savage action, at least for sane people.
    Those aren't my rules by the way, they are simply the rules.
    I would be glad to host a group at our place for a fun weekend of rock shooting.

Either I achieve my goal with my 300WM or I will achieve it with my (future) 338 Lapua. It's a win win yobuck!

    You will have a very good cartridge with the 300 Win Mag.
    Enjoy shooting it, because it will be a good performer.
    Note what I said about my 30x378. 145/150 clicks at 1480 yards.
    200 clicks 220 yards further, which means the tank is empty.
    The longer they are in the air, the more problems can develop, it's that simple.
