here are my 2 cents on rifle weight. I have owned everything from win 30-30 up to the sendero. I like the sendero better. I have hauled that rifle for miles for hours. never bothered me. I found that carrying any rifle gets a little tiring. an extra 3-4 lbs is not noticable for me. put a...

how about the Swiss optical range finder. these are large, but how well do they work?

I am looking for a range finder for hunting/target. I was considering an optical rangefinder (swiss). the leicas are nice. I also like the bushnell rangefinder/binocular. looking for a good/reliable/accurate finder. what are your opinions. what are you using?

thanks, I found a few sources on the web. one question though. when they describe it they say it will hold 308 cartridges securely. will they handle 300 RUM rounds?

where did you get the cheek rest. I have seen these in magazines but cannot find it anywhere.

one question. does the TSX bullet need to be seated out so it is close to the lands or can it be loaded deeper into the case. at 130gr, there is not much to play with.

this is not from experience, but, when I contacted Nosler for load data for the 125 BT, they told me that at the 300 RUM velocity the bullet would act more like a varmint load and just blow apart. If anyone has had good results with this bullet/cartridge combo I would definitely start load work...

I currently shoot 190 & 220gr matchkings. I am just looking for the flattest possible shooter out to about 400 yards. the 130gr should do it and I could also use it for hunting anything up to whitetail if needed. I have always loved the ballistic tip, however the 125gr is not designed for...

I am currently looking for load data for my 300 RUM and the Barnes triple X 130gr bullet. I currenly use H-1000 powder for all my ultra mag loads but am open to any new suggestions. thanks

I replaced my original stock on my 300 RUM sendero with the ultimate sniper stock. very sturdy/rugged stock. I wanted a heavy shooter for the bench, etc. stock is hollow in areas so I was able to epoxy lead in. one thing I am not crazy about the stock is the grip. it came very rough...sanded it...

I will be working up loads for my 300 ultra using the 220gr SMK bullet. will be using H-1000. I was going to use load data provided by Accurate reloading website for this combo but noticed that their loading was quite a bit higher than what I already had for this combination (88.0-91.0 grains)...

here is MY 2 cents worth. I currently shoot the Sendero in 300 RUM. I love it. before buying it I considered it in 338 ultra mag. I just found that I had way more bullet selection with the .308 bullet. and for reloading, bullets are a little cheaper. would I get the 7mm or 338 version. of...

nice rifle. how long is that barrel? what size is it?

I was just wondering. one thing I noticed is that if you look at the tips of SMK bullets, the edge around the small hallow point is irregular. just seems to me that this should effect accuracy. has anyone taken the time to just slightly square off the tip to help accuracy? in a world where...

Re: Here\'s my Wisconsin whitetail hunting setup You are one lucky man.....I could only dream of sitting in one of those, let alone hunt from one. what is the rifle in the picture?
