[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 528834, member: 12995"] Well, ain't life a beach..... One of the idiot salesmen at the outdoors store sold the Swarovski off of that Sendero to some rich old guy... I'm going tomorrow to put down a deposit on the Sendero for them to hold it...Hell, that never works out....I'm most likely going to BUY that Sendero tomorrow. LOL I can get it for $660 out the door. I will examine the barrel more closely tomorrow when I go up there, before I buy it. That price is bottom dollar, and won't drop it just for me (even though I'd feel more comfortable around the $500-$550 range (since I'm mainly just wanting the action & stock), but if the rifling is good, I might just go ahead and drop the coin on it. Does it sound like a good buy to yall? I was talking with another good buddy yesterday, and he was saying that the standard Rem 700 LA bolt would not handle the recoil of the .257 Wby, since it's a magnum caliber....And that I would need to order a magnum bolt from Remington..... Now, I have no reason to doubt him, but I also have never heard of this before... So, can someone set the record straight for me? I hope it isn't true, or else there would be no need for me to buy the gun, other than to rebarrel it to another 7mmSTW. But that is also a belted magnum......Is the 700 Sendero 7mmSTW the same LA as the standard non-magnum bolt & action? [/QUOTE]
