[QUOTE="tomsd, post: 893208, member: 74603"] AK - good for ye - and thanks for your Q and the time the guys in here take to respond. Forgot to mention that a few years ago - maybe 10? - at one of the SD Safari Club meetings/dinners - I was sitting with a guy from the shooting range/club up in Escondido (forget the name of the club at the moment) For long range fun/hunting - he suggested I buy Remington Sendero - in .300 mag - (26" barrell? - and selling for about $700? back then) - and they would work the action and the receiver connection, etc . He said that all told - I would have a 1,000 yard shooter for under $1,000. I did shoot a 7 Mag Sendero about the same time out at the South Bay Rod and Gun Club - when one of the guys on the line was letting others shoot it. It was a calm day with hardly any breeze - and there was a 6" or 9" - fairly heavy metal gong hanging out at 300 yards - and I hit it pretty good I guess - as it didn't spin or flip side to side - but rather went backwards a bit and then swung forward. I don't remember the power of the glass he was using - but it was set up pretty nicely and was a big ole thing. :) Hope your .375 works in smoothly - and an Oryx is one of the "tags" I want to have if I ever get over to Namibia. That and a Giant Eland and also - maybe a Sable. Lions and other dangerous game - as you know - really cost a pretty penny. [/QUOTE]
