Re: Rem 700 300 RUM SPF to mrwr1223

I bought this rifle for a project that will now never happen due to a neck injury. This is what I know about it. It has had a trigger job done by a local smith who has since retired. I was told round count was just over 200. He used it as a bean field gun. He never thought it shot a accurately...

Rcolter I sent PM's

Thanks for the offer toyotaman. I'll have to pass. Thanks for looking!

Am I asking to much for this? I looked on ebay and amazon and thought that I was priced very well. Maybe just nobody interested.

When I bought this Kestrel 400NV with Horus Atrag ballistics software I took it out of the package put batteries in it and played around with it for 30 minutes or so, I took the batteries out and I put it back in my shooting bag and never touched it again. I never even took it outside! It is...

A friend of mine just bought a 7mm mag. Sendero. His first time shooting it he had similar problems. He could not get the round out at first either. His seems like an extractor issue. Once he got the spent round out with a cleaning rod he cleaned it very good and the round would come out just...

Will anyone out there recomend an Oklahoma based smith? I know that John Beanland is down in Gould, OK. From what I see he is one of the best, hands down. That said his wait times show it. Any suggestions???

I had a Ruger MarkII in .338wm I could shoot dimes at 100yds. with it all day. I am not saying they are all like that, I think I got lucky. My 2 cents. Good luck with whatever you pick.

Any thoughts on if it is worth it to glass bed a Sendero. The rifles are very accurate from the factory and I am not sure if I am capable out shooting it just bone stock. What do ya think?

I am no expert by any strech. That said I would go with the 300 wm. With the little bit more MV and you can run the heavier bullets that have a higher BC. This is only my opinion. I am not taking anything away from the .308.

Thank you for stating the now painfully obvious. I decided to make this post after spending an embarrassing amount of time over analyzing my own question. It had never occurred to me to send ammo ahead of time. Thanks for setting me straight there. I will now go hang my head in shame….

I want to know what other LRH's think about chambering a Wildcat vs. Factory round. Now I am not lost on the fact that most folks hand load their own rounds. Just in the back of my mind "Murphy" tends to show up now and then. It would be a shame to set out on the hunt of a life time to arrive...

Thanks for all of the input guys. I was not trying to get a heated discusion going here. Just looking for opinions on actions. I am pretty sure of what I am going to do at this point. All of this has helped and hope to see you all in future posts.
