[QUOTE="1doug, post: 107876, member: 3863"] [b]Re: Poor man\'s long range gun[/b] <font color="red"> [ QUOTE ] I was thinking Reminton Sendero in 300rum. I liked what I have read on the 300rum, but have always wanted 338 lapua. [/ QUOTE ] </font> the 338 lapua is already out of the question, unless he gets a used one. so for all [b]practical[/b] purposes I am comparing a 300 rum to your 338-378. for his price range a 300 rum would be a least expensive option with a plenty of thump at 1000 yards. there is a lot more options for factory ammo at half the price of the weatherby. [ QUOTE ] The freebore is not an issue and I think you will find that even Kirby's guns when throated for the heavy bullets are sporting quite a bit of freebore. [/ QUOTE ] the guns kirby builds are set up for the heavier for caliber bullets(higher b.c)seated to the lands. Can you seat a 240 smk to the lands in you accumark? I doubt it. the free bore is a serious issue in my eyes. Dont take this as a weatherby bashing, i have 2 300 weatherby's my self(safe queens). d-a [/QUOTE]
