[QUOTE="subjb, post: 254039, member: 14486"] Thanks for the responses. I have looked at the sendero and read many posts praising it as a great off the shelf rifle. The price is appealing too. On the other hand, having a rifle built to my specs is very appealing regardless of the price. Hell, I never could leave my early broncos alone despite the fact that they performed great as it was. I know a guy out here that has built several custom rifles for friends, all that shoot extremely well. 2 friends have made 1100-1200 yard kills. I took my 740 yard buck with one of those rifles. Sure was nice shooting that thing. I've read alot about barrel length, but I guess I will bring it up again. What is the minimum functional length for the 3 calibers that I have mentioned? I don't want to short change the performance, but I want to maximize performance. I am looking at taking this rifle deep into the backcountry, mostly on foot so as much as I would like one of those 15 pound beasts I don't think my legs would like that. I go light to ultralight with most of my hunting gear. Thats why I originally purchased my weatherby ultralight, much to my nose and brows detriment. I will probably start buying reloading equipment within a few months. Does any of the calibers that I listed suffer from a shortage off good brass? Thanks again for the replys. [/QUOTE]
