1000 yards IMO is not the feat here. It's with a 2 MOA rifle and standing as it's a 38lb rifle. While it's not the most amazing shot in the world, I think it's a well done video, and even the shooter said. "it's just goofing around" Chase Stroud for Team GAP did a standing 1000 yard shot the other day on a smaller target w/ a smaller caliber. I think 6mm Creedmoor. I'll see if I can find the video.
My LR rifle is 17lbs, and I practice shooting it off hand at 400 yards at some steel tanks. It's not easy, but I'm practicing more and more at it.
I guess what I'm saying is, it's a cool video, and the shooter was not trying to be a showoff IMO.
