[QUOTE="crazyhorse, post: 1165782, member: 3056"] I did a very similar build a couple years ago. I had a factory Sendero in 7mm mag that was my absolute favorite go to hunting rig. Constant use over several years started to take a toll on the accuracy of the factory bbl, aside from that it was a copper fouling monster! Seemed like a good enough reason to true the action and rebarrel... After a lot of research and a ton of reading on this forum, I called and spoke with the guys at Benchmark (who were very helpful). After some discussion it was decided to true the action and rebarrel with a setup very similar to factory so not much change with weight and look of the rifle. I went with a stainless fluted 9" twist Benchmark bbl and heavier recoil lug. Don't remember how long it took but they delivered by the date promised. I have since replaced the stock with a Manners EH1 setup with the Badger mini chassis. The rifle eats everything I feed it from the Barnes 145LRX, Berger 168 and the 162 Amax. All loads are sub MOA but the Amax is consistently well under 1/2. I'm IMPATIENTLY waiting for the 162 ELD-X to become available! There's a thousand directions you can go with a build, but that's mine and I have been extremely pleased so far... [/QUOTE]
