What Would You Suggest?

A young man I work with is interested in shooting targets at 1000 yards. He might want to take a rifle deer hunting, but I think he is more interested in two liter pop bottles and such.

He asked me what I would suggest. I really didn't have a good answer. I had a .308 heavy barrell a while back, and although it shot pretty good at 200 or so, I don't know if it was capable of a 1000 or not. So I told him I would ask you guys, I figure someone would have a suggestion.

We called a friend of mine that owns a gun shop, and he suggested a Savage Model 12 single shot in .308 with a Leupold VXL3 (?) maybe that went to 20 X magnification, which has him thinking.
