1000 yards 2 inch group or less
DHunter:
I came across these:
Composite Scenes Of The 1108 yd Hits-257 Condor
AirForce Texan Big Bore Airgun - 1250 Yard World Record Longest Air Rifle Shot
(The target was a trash-can lid which he hit about 12" off-center.)
DHunter:
Snipers who shoot at 1000+ yards kind of have to be mathematicians. You have to be able to compensate for the earth's rotation, air temperature, altitude, spin drift, etc. in addition to the usual trajectory and wind. Even the humidity comes into play (more-humid air is actually slightly less dense), and in PBs, even the temperature of the gunpowder. (Warmer powder makes for a slightly higher MV.)
I am in favor of whatever advances the state of the art for airguns though.
DHunter:
I ran across this video showing gizmos you can mount the scope on to get radical angles way beyond what the elevation settings on the scope allow, and get repeatable settings too:
