Let's build a 1000 YD rifle

Okay, I have been wanting to build a long range rifle for awhile. I have thought about the 7.62 or around there cartridge but not sure who I want to go with. I want a reliable rifle that is not really heavy. Good optics but not way out there.
Somewhere under $2000
So lets here the ideas.

Over $2000? I think it can be done for under. I have Rem 700 30.06 but I do not think it will be very accurate out to 1000 yds.
A 308 rem is about $1000 for the rifle, then the scope at about $400 for a good Burris, then the perfecting like glasbedding, trigger work.
Am I way off here or what?

If it was me...
6mmBR, 308win, 30-06, 308Norma, 30-338, 300win.. Any would be fine. Select Win70, Rem, or (Savage action with right hand bolt with left side feed), converted to single shot. Lija test barrel, recessed crown. Timney trigger. Custom wood stock.. No, Not anything out of a box.. Wood or composite. I want a thumb hole stock sized specifically for me with a flat bottom and palm grip, free floated, pillar bedded. Tally rings with some good Luepold glass. Just the components would run more than $2,000 and weigh more than

not really heavy.
Then the machinist/gunsmith costs to assemble it all correctly would run $500 more to get it done right.
That's just because that I like things that are more capable than I am.
But, you'd be surprised at how well a good many off the shelf rifles will do. One that will shoot 1/2moa at 100yds will be worthy of shooting at 1000yds. Learning the dope for shooting that far is also an extremely high value. I've never shot that far, but know some that do on a regular basis. It is quite a skill to aquire to be a successful shooter at those distances.
Good info here:

A good spottin optic for that range is also highly advantagous.
