[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 249780, member: 1007"] I too, like AJP thought of the 300RUM after reading your post. Yes there are alot of guys here using the 300RUM. It is a good common sense round. Components are easy to come by, they arent as finicky as some of the other larger magnums available and they are very accurate. Brass quality seems to be getting better. I should rephrase that to brass concistency is getting better. Barrel life is marginal although my last 300RUM barrel had over 1000 rounds down the pipe and still held sub .5 MOA. It was a .25 MOA rifle in the beggining. To solve the bbl life problem, I also own a 308 since I love to shoot and shoot 500-3000 rounds per year depending on whats going on that year and cant afford a new barrel every 4-24 months and 308 barrels last quite some time. 10,000 rounds in a good barrel is not unheard of. If youre looking for a factory stick, then the sendero is an excellent choice. My buddy has a sendero SF in 338RUM and shoots amazing for a factory rifle. BTW, welcome! [/QUOTE]
