Nah, it doesn't hit that hard. I don't even have a brake on mine and it's not as bad as I thought it would be.
I'm no Camp Perry expert but I'd also stay away from the .308 for 1000 competition. yayayaya, I know you shoot a fly off the target experts will say .308 is great for 1k yards but for your average joe it's not. I'm with most of these guys, for a non-professional shooter, a 50 bmg is the easiest way to 1k for the average shooter. Oh and a range finder unless you're shooting at a marked range. You'll need it.
I'd get a sendero in 300 ultra or 7 Rem mag or 7 STW, a leupold 4.5x14 Tactical and a range finder. You'll be over 1K dollars but not much.
Good luck.
