[QUOTE="lerch, post: 105410, member: 3115"] Since I have been trying to do this longrange game I have had several buddies ask me how to extend their hunting range. I have told all of them the same thing and for some reason it is IMPOSSIBLE to get across. If you really want dependable game killing accuracy out to ranges of 500-800 yds go with a custom gun. It doesnt have to be a wildcat caliber, go with a 300RUM or a 7mmRUM or anything that has the power. But if you get it in a custom gun with a trued up action from a reputable smith you will have the accuracy you want. In the 3 custom guns I have shot I have been amazed at the difference in accuracy. Not at 100yds but at 400-600-800-1000yds. I have great trust in my smith and I know whatever he builds for me will shoot lights out, or he wont let it out of his shop. Find a good smith, there are several on this board, and have them build you a gun. It will be fairly expensive but if you take in the cost of a new Sendero, and good Leup scope or better, and anything else you wanna do to it you will **** near at the same cost of what you would have put into the custom rig to begin with. This is only my opinion but when you deal with a good smith it is his rifle, not a factories. He is responsible for what it can do so he will put in the effort. It is a comfortable feeling to have. Check out Kirby Allen or Shawn Carlock, among others I am sure. Kirby has done all of my custom work and will continue to do so. Good Luck steve [/QUOTE]
