[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 293835, member: 11717"] Slafav, Here's something you might think about. I just put some money down on a used Sendero 25-06 yesterday for a good price. I haven't fired it yet, but it should be one sweet shooting rifle, capable of taking deer to 700 yds and yotes to 1K. Now this is my secondary plinking rifle. My philosophy still is.... decide exactly what you want to do and then figure out what cartridge you need to do it with and get it. If you can handle a mag 2 years from now, then you can handle a mag now. If you like the idea of shooting something lighter, there are quite a few good optoins and an 8 1/2 lb Sendero 25-06 is a great way to hunt deer to 700 yds and shoot to 1k plus. It will give you about the same reach as a 308 with a little more zip. If you want to shoot 100 rounds per outing like X3M and friends, that will get spendy and you will deifnitely want a barrel friendly cartridge. You will also probably want two rifles so you can shoot one while the other is getting a new barrel which will be a long wait with a good smith. Welcome to a fun and addicting sport, Sounds lioke there's a lot of good guys near you to get you going. -MR BTW, after reading this, it might sound like I'm offering you this rifle which wasn't my intent. I'll be selfish and hold on to this one... always wanted a 25-06 :) [/QUOTE]
