Don't be too quick to discount the Mosin-Nagant as a GREAT 1200 yard target rifle. I would be willing to bet that someone with a .50 cal Barrett could hit one within a few rounds. I would plant it muzzle down, right up to the forend and because of it's rather narrow profile, I would tie a few bright orange streamers around the wrist to aid my spotter. But yeah, I think think you take one at 1200 yards.
