[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 498410, member: 2736"] One more comment. I can understand the use /need for a light rifle but with a light rifle you give up some of the range and increase the recoil. If you build a light rifle in a 300 or 338 you will probably have to install a muzzle break and limit shots to 3 or 400 yards . or go with a less powerful cartridge and give up long shots all together. Where I hunt 700 to 900yard shots are the norm and a heavy 338 with 250+ grain bullets is a must to knock him down where he stands. Rather than tear down a Sendero to lighten it I would look for a short action synthetic stock, with a #2 or #3 barrel with a break in something like a 7 WSM or 300 WSM or even the 325 WSM. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
