[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 339782, member: 11717"] If you go to gunbroker, you can sometimes find a Sendero chambered in 338 WM or 338 RUM. sometimes NIB and sometimes used. If you buy a used rifle, you're taking a chance. Both of my Seneders were used. The 25-06 turned out to be severly firecracked, but it still shoots well, however, I expect it will need a new barrel before long. The guy I bough it off of never shot it and got it off someone else. I did get a good deal on it so I really didn't loose anything. The 300 RUM I got face to face from the original owner and it only had 20 rounds through it. It shoots very well but fouls a good bit and I suspect it may be a little pitted. It was taken out hunting a few times and about 3-4 years old. So bottom line, I wouldn't buy a used rifle for top dollar and I wont buy anything off gunbroker from a dealer unless I can get it dirt cheap, expecting a rebarrel. I have never shot a Vanguard Sub MOA, but have not read one negative post about them. They come with a factory shot target and that's good enough for me, although it's only good for a particular load. If I was getting a 338 WM, I would get in a 26" barrel, but that might be hard to find from the factory other than a Sendero. [/QUOTE]
