[QUOTE="Buano, post: 454075, member: 21641"] When shooting deer inside 150 yards, the 4-5" group from grandpa's 30-30 was meat on the table. If you are shooting to 800 yards, you need a rifle shooting .75 moa or better, preferably under .5 moa. The XCR & XCR2 are great rifles, but they are not known for sub .5 moa groups. Their claim to fame is they are the most weatherproof rifles in production. I do not think these are within the "reasonably certain to kill quickly & humanely at 800 yards" class of rifles. I've seen Senderos shoot sub .5 moa groups & I've seen Savages do it. With the Savage you get a good stock & trigger, while the Sendero gives you a good stock & fair trigger. The Sendero is a good rifle while almost every Savage made shoots very well. I think the Savage has a definite advantage in what you are likely to spend to get your rifle shooting sub .5 moa, in that the Savage will likely do that stock while the Sendero will likely do that only after you've paid your gunsmith a chunk of money. As you might have guessed, I vote for Savage (or a custom) for this application. [/QUOTE]
