[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1772677, member: 78438"] Well then set it up for that occasion, you already have everything covered inside 400 and then some. Might as well make it do something your other rifles don't do. You could find a sendero in 300 rum for about 900 bucks, throw a 28" 1:10 brux on it and a good trigger (your still on budget here) and start sending 250 accubonds or 300 smk's down range, or just run the 300 rum and shoot the 215's. Either way, you'll have something you don't already have that serves a different purpose. As you mentioned in your first post, your talking about long range cartridges....it's what they're for. They don't offer any real advantages over what you have for close range (inside 500 ish). If you just want to hit whitetail deer at 250 with a 338 rum, that's fine too, doesn't need to make any sense to me, but if you want rifle that's capable of something your other rifles aren't, it's one of thousands of options. Makes for a good budget 1000 yard rifle, you'll have to drop a few bucks on optics of course. [/QUOTE]
