[QUOTE="longrangehunter, post: 51774, member: 386"] Thanks for all the great info. I appreciate how fortunate I am that I don't have to learn everything on my own through trial and error. Darryl, Sounds like the factory HB rifles are much more capable then most of the people shooting them. About your 15# rifles. What kind of range are they good for? Are these realistically 1000 yard rifles or do you take shots way out there? I've heard that the lighter rifles can be as accurate as those 40+# monsters, but are extremely hard to shoot well past 1000 yards or so. ??? BTW: My starter rifle is a factory Sendero that I added a mcmillan stock and jewell trigger to. I'm sure it won't be long before I want an aftermarket barrel. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Dave, I was planning on upgrading to badger ord or night force bases and rings but I've heard they *are* heavy. I'm still using the factory floorplate is that bad? Nate, thanks for the good info about recoil. At one time I was looking at the 300 ultra, but was scared away when I saw how much higher the recoil numbers, especially compared to the 300 win mags and 300 wea's. I don't mind shooting a 8# 300 wea, but a 300 RUM Sendero didn't sound like a lot of fun. LRH (in training) [ 02-08-2002: Message edited by: longrangehunter ] [/QUOTE]
