[QUOTE="2guns, post: 1244128, member: 94929"] I had a Sendero in a 300 win mag but it wasn't a great shooter and didn't reload at the time. I also had a 338 RUM in a Sendero that was a tack driver that I bought for a western bear hunt but found out it was way too heavy to tote in the mountains. I was going to try and build from a 110 Savage I had but the milspec already had the barrel and a real good floated stock. Other than a trigger job down the line I hope this one fits the bill out of the box. $1299.00 seemed like a fortune but I figured new barrel, new stock and the rifle would probably cost the same or more. I'm still a little concerned about break in. I've only ran 3 through it and scrubbed and cleaned thoroughly after each shot. Thought I might run 3-5 shots through it a few times and clean some more. Some say yes and some say the first three shots are most important for any burs in the barrel to go away. I've only been shooting longer ranges for the past year and really enjoy banging steel at 500 and beyond. I haven't competed any but hope to some dY but if I never do I'll always know I can.
