Velosity is important, but secondary to the BC of the bullets he is going to use. There are still alot of guys shooting the old 6.5 x 55`s in compitation, and hoolding their own, but not really winning alot of big matches. If he is capible of and wants to go to the expence of a cuwstom wildcat and makeing his own brass the 6.5- 284 shooting very heavy bullets would be an excellant choice. I built a .22-6mm for long range coyotes and shoot 80 gn. bullets at abt. 3,470 fps. which wouldn`t be a bad 1,000 yrd gun eather. How much does he want to spend???? I got close to $ 1,000 in the gun and alittle over that in the scope that`s on it.
