[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1384024, member: 101677"] I’m not familiar with the sambar but will assume it’s similar to an elk. A 300win mag will serve you just fine. The other would work well, but are more expensive to shoot and you don’t require the extra performance. The 700 long range comes with a bell and Carlson stock and is a good enough stock to serve you. The barrel is kind of a dice roll, but you should be able to achieve sub Moa accuracy with handloads. The trigger needs to be replaced, there’s lots of good options and the stock should be bedded. It’s an easy diy project. IMO I would buy a 700 milspec over the sendero. For scopes there’s lots of good options. I’ve never used night force, but have had really good luck with my leupold vx3 lrp, 6.5-20x with impact reticle. For a lower turret scope check out the vx5 with impact reticle. A good value option is a sightron stac 4-20 with 2moa reticle. Don’t know if they sell them down under? When looking for a lr factory rifle I would look for a medium to heavy contour barrel and a stock that is stiff enough it will free float the fore end along with a trigger good enough or can be replaced within budget. There’s lots and lots of options, and you should get lots of ideas, but it’s tough to suggest when prices vary so much in other countries. [/QUOTE]
