[QUOTE="knc1105, post: 771999, member: 23577"] The difference is gobs of money. The ultra bad*ss Barrett 98 is around $5,000 and a Remington Sendero is about $750. Brass for the Lapua is $4 each for the 338 RUM was 80 cents. The Sendero has a 26" barrel which is it's only knock. I think you need at least 28" to utilize some of the slower powders like the awesome Retumbo. I got a pet load here from JD338 and it shoots one hole with a 250 gr. Accubond at 3160 fps. He was shooting 1/4 MOA with his Sendero and maybe only lost 25-30 fps with the 26" barrel. I don't want to invest over $4,000 extra for COOL factor. If you're a lottery winner I guess it doesn't matter. Whatever you put on your plate with them will not know the difference. [/QUOTE]
