[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1993117, member: 63925"] Jacob, I've had a G1 Sendero 300WM for close to 20+ years and getting toward end of life on barrel. My advice would be buy one and shoot it before deciding what to do next . Mine shot 1/2 MOA out of box with 200AB @ 2950 fps and on a really good day that I didn't drink coffee for at least 3 days it would do better or should I say I would do better. It is by far the best out of the box rifle I have had and although new ones may not be the same, I would still go ahead and buy it, shoot it and then decide what to do. I put a Timney trigger in mine first thing and that is all I have done to it and it shoots just fine. If you decide you need more work to shoot long range like past 600 yards or so then yeah, I would invest in the usual upgrades. If you shoot less than 600 it may and probably will do just fine out of the box. The trigger may be something to consider right away and is simple to replace. I've got over 1200 rounds through mine and it still shoots well under MOA. A .264WM is no different than a 300WM that you really need to cool your barrel down to ambient temps after every 3 shots to maintain barrel life at its fullest. I have done that since day 1 and it still shoots after 1200 rounds so you can get decent life span out of them. Yes, they are heavy but I would take something out of my pack first before losing the weight. I still carry mine at 9-10K ft and I am 70 years young. Sometimes the weight is more mental than actual consideration. Learn to carry it with pack or really good sling and the weight becomes a non issue IMO. When you are lining up for a shot the weight helps calm down your yips and get off a good killing shot. [/QUOTE]
