[QUOTE="SkipsBlown55, post: 821851, member: 68496"] Lance & Bullfrog....... You are both dead-on. I have always had a soft-spot for the .264 ever since the late 60's. In past posts on this thread, there was thought of muzzle blast and kick for kids......at that point I started asking myself if the gun really was for them or me!!! If I picked up a .264 Sendero, that would complete the cartridge family in the Sendero's for me. Weight is not a consideration for me (I'm old and don't carry much any more). The weight of the barrel/stock actually counter-act the recoil, which helps the kids. Besides, they will move up when they feel that they are ready, not me. They only keep me to reload for them, haha. I have never really had a custom rifle, so when this all started was thinking about one, but needed a lot of advice from you pro's to shorten years of trial and error on my part. I will eventually get the missing .264 Sendero (for me), but have really been giving a lot of thought to a 6mm-06 with 30" barrel. I think that it would be capable of punching holes in paper a long ways off..... All of my present guns have the fat barrels.....that being said, I am aging by the day, so I feel the need to cheat (what is it about Old Bull - Young Bull).
