[QUOTE="mkg, post: 556336, member: 9514"] Matt, I can not do a direct comparison between the two having never owned a Sendero. I do however have the 300WSM VLP and have been very happy with it's performance. The rifle shoots a consistant .5 MOA ( or better ) with 180 grain Nosler BT's and H-4350 held together by winchester brass and lit-up with WLR primers , this is out of the box. Since I bought the gun I have swaped stocks just because I prefered the palm Swell on the BVSS stocks and it matches my two other LR rifles . I recently picked up a Savage 112 BVSS in 300WM so I decided to switch barrel/bolt the 300WSM to 260 REM . Here are somethings to think about if you want to switch barrel/bolt. The WSM has a large shank barrel not really a big deal if you're not in a hurry for another cartridge but most off the shelf barrels will be standard shank ( it took almost 5 months to get my large shank 260 Shilen barrel). Also in my case I would have had to swap the firing pin pkg , bolt face and rear baffle also not a big deal as they can be found from different vendors. In my case I was lucky enough to have a model 12 in 22-250 so I used the 22-250 bolt and head spaced off of that for the new 260 barrel. Truth be told at this price point both are likely to give similar performance. The personal preferances are up to you. MIke [/QUOTE]
