If the character has taken the necessary steps then shots like this are 
certainly possible.  My best 1000m group is 8.263-inches with a .330 Dakota 
Longbow, 11.34 inches with a Harris M-87 .50.  Marine Sergeant Kenneth Terry 
took out a YW531 APC in Desert Storm with two shots from a Barrett M82A1 into 
an area under 6-inches.

The problem with headshots at 1000m is the flight time.  Expecting the head 
to be in the same location 1.6 seconds after the trigger is pulled is asking 
for a lot.  Unless the target is completely immobile you are looking at least 
maximum target moving penalties, probably doubled for flight time.
