Rifle already has sights for 2000 meters. Most perfect rifle in world already.
Anyway....serious time...
Friend of mine bought a 7mm Magnum and that has some great stopping power. You might do better with a .300 Win Mag which is up there and also very accurate. Several people around my area of Missouri have also (for long range rifles) built their own based off of a Mauser action. Depends how much work and money you want to put into it. .300 Win Mag is something Elk, Moose, etc hunters usually go for. It holds energy well depending on the load you're shooting. 7mm Mag stays flatter but I honestly think the .300 is a better choice.
I'd say go for a .300 Win Mag (You can get the
Remington 700 XCR Tactical Long Range there).
If 300 Win Mag is too much (very well could be), i'd say go for a 7mm Mag.
