This rifle started as something I'd always wanted, a Sendero SFII in 264WM. So, about 8 or 9 years ago, I bought one. Unluckily for me, the barrel was garbage and the extractor only half a$$ed worked. So, it set in the safe for about 3 years. Then, I decided to fix it. I had a 29" Hawk Hill 6.5 8.375 twist Sendero blank sitting here, a Sako extractor, and a Rifle Basix trigger. At the time, I didn't have a 264WM reamer, but I did have a 6.5 Remington magnum reamer that had never cut a chamber. So, this is the final result.
Sendero SFII, action face, lug abruptments, and lugs squared, Sako extractor installed, Hawk Hill 8.375 twist barrel finished at 28" in 6.5 Remington Magnum, Hawk Hill 4 port muzzle brake. Rifle Basix LV1K I believe, not 100% on the model, but it's adjustable from 8oz to 24oz, currently set right at 12oz for a 5 pull average. Has an EGW 20moa rail on top. Exactly 172 rounds fired, a load with two different powders was worked up during the barrel speed up, and finalized after it settled. One is 3088fps with Ramshot Magnum, this is a very mild load, the other is 3176fps with RL26, also fairly mild, both loads are 140grn hunting vlds, both shoot .25-.4"
Rifle is not a light weight by any means as pictured, but not a pig either. Will come with the brass and loaded rounds as pictured, the brass is Quality Cartridge, and the empties has been cleaned and annealed with an AMP, and ready for there 3rd loading. The loaded rounds are on their 2nd firing, and are loaded with the RL26 load. Data can be given to the buyer for both loads.
Hornady dies also go with it, as well as a homemade modified case. The OAL measurement has only moved .003" since it was chambered, for what it's worth.
I'll ship the rifle in a hardcase to your FFL for $1900.00, everything else can be shipped to you, or go to your ffl as well.
This rifle is about 99.5% on the condition, and I had considered pulling it apart, changing caliber/cartridge, lightening the action, etc... but it's really just too nice to not try to rehome it first.
Great rifle, in an old-school cartridge, the original short mag, that shoots great.
