As I recall there were some sniper kills in Afghanistan quite a bit farther than 1,000 yards using .50 sniper rifles.

For a good read on a sniper there is a book called White Feather about a Marine in Vietnam who had 93 confirmed kills, one at 2,000+ yards. Lots in there about how he concealed himself and moving so slow it took a day to cover 100 yards.

Edit. You too can own this puppy.
