    New Build: 6.5-300 Weatherby

    Wow. Much overbore. But to answer your question, PacNor or Criterion. I personally really like the Sendero Remington profile, fluted, threaded for a brake or suppressor. 1:8 twist would easily handle 147gr class VLDs. Good luck!

    Model 78 Browning

    I had a B78 that I "awarded" to my nephew. I found that due to the design, I favored a scope with a longer than typical main scope tube. This allowed for better adjustment for proper eye relief. In my case I opted for a Burris scope due to it's longer tube vs the Leupold. The twist is...

    Remington 700 Sendero Gen 1 300 win mag

    The very first Senderos were all blued. This one appears to be stainless (my personal favorite) but I would have called it a Gen2. There was a small run of Sendero "Specials" in those early years too which only had 24" barrels. I bought one for my hunting buddy. All great rifles IMO.

    Browning blr 257 Roberts

    My guess based on the magazine is that is a BLR-81 (steel receiver), only slightly different from the earlier BLRs and substantially so in the the magazines for the BLR-81 are relatively easy to find. The original BLR magazines in contrast are much more uncommon and thus much more expensive...

    Remington 700 bdl 6mm rem rare!

    No front sight so that appears to be a factory Varmint taper barrel, not a sporter, correct?

    Survivability of Remington ???

    It may be that the most valuable thing Remington will be left with is their brand though there may be more equity in other names like Colt. Perhaps potential investors suspected this was a likely outcome after Cerberus pulled their money allowing them to bide their time and be able to pick and...

    If you call and ask, there is a good chance Leupold will send you another windage cap.

    Remington 700 sendero 338RUM

    One of the great Ultra-Mag chamberings and rifles IMO. I found one over the summer on another forum that was owned by a guy who happened (it turned out) to live about 35 minutes from my house! I just got finished with the Area 419 brake install and some other minor gunsmithing on it. I used it...

    Zeiss HD5 5-25 x 50 or Swarovski Z5

    newmexkid has it exactly right. I sent a Conquest 6.5x20 scope in for service back in April 2014 and was told that now (in August) they are still at least 4 weeks behind. Such poor turn around is unacceptable in my opinion. Perhaps it's because the Europeans take the summers off, I don't...
