Dang, I knew there was a reason i was keeping all of my 300 WSM brass! I've got about 200 rounds, most of which is Barnes ammo and probably 2 boxes of Federal. One of these days i'll by a reloading set-up.

You're always going to find someone that says something that will make you second guess your original choice, it will happen with everything you set you mind on. That being said, go with your gut as you came to your conclusion for a specific reason. Just because the same scope didn't work out for someone else doesn't mean it wont work perfectly for you. Just my 2 cents...

Here is the rifle i was seeking advice on barrel break-in, bullet choices etc. I just cant wait to go out and shoot it. I still need to put the Harris bi-pod and the sling on it but thats easy stuff. I absolutely love the way it feels when its in my shoulder and that is something i always prefer, if it doesnt feel good, its not for me.

I finally busted the bank and purchased a new Remington 700 Sendero chambered in 300 RUM. Since i dont reload (yet) i am going to start with Barnes 180gr TTSX as the BC is pretty good at a .484. Question i have, what is the best routine to break in the barrel?

I just purchased a Vortex Viper HS LR 6-24x50 XLR for my new 300RUM Sendero and need to get rid of the old Viper 6.5-20x50 PA. I'm out of town until Saturday and when i return I'm sending the old scope in to Vortex to be serviced, upon return i'll accept reasonable offers. I'd like to get $375-$400 for it as its in really good shape and has had only 2 hunting seasons worth of use. PM me if you're interested, I'll provide pictures as well upon my return home.

I try to send all my Vortex scopes back after each hunting season, pain in the butt to re-zero but it keeps the scopes in good condition. Nothing wrong with it, just one of the crazy things i do.

It's the BDC reticle

Archery Any Elk, Camp Navajo 10/9/15-10/15/15 yeah baby!

This is almost comical! This site is always a source of a good laugh on a bad day during draw time....

Anyone used a PTG fluted bolt as a replacement for a factory bolt on a Remington 700? I did a little checking and only found that it would be a beneficial idea to replace the extractor on the PTG bolt with an M16 style extractor. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The more i've read about people who have used them, the less inclined i am to do so. I've got everything (aside from the scope and it will be here Tuesday) that i need to start working up a load. I have a friend who has been long range shooting for quite some time and has all the tools, chrono, reloading equipment and so forth. With all of this I should be able to work up a suitable load and start dialing it in. I want to do this right and be able to shoot comfortably out to 1000 yards and have confidence as well as be comfortable with the rifle. It will take time, but i am oh so ready.

Casey, I just might do that. I'm not in any rush so i don't want to shortcut as i have the time to do this right.

Well, they do now!

You know, they could always go back to the old way, you found out when/if your tag came in the mail. I really don't understand what all the fuss is about, a little patience would definitely be in order here... Just sayin

Its a 300 RUM

I actually have not ordered the turrets that was a copy and paste typo, i've got a friend who has this same gun, same caliber and we're gonna start with the load he's worked up for his and go from there. I wouldn't order the turret until i've found a load that works for mine.

Just ordered the new scope, Vortex Viper HS 6-24x50 LR FFP XLR as well as the Kenton Industries custom turrets and cannot wait to get it in and go shoot this thing!

I just got off the phone with AZGFD to ask them about why mu Hunting License doesnt show on my AZGFD account and she said that they were still migrating the data. She then proceeded to tell me that draw results would not be posted until next week.

I've got a next to new Pelican 1750 (Black) that i've used twice and just don't see a need for it. Will let it go for $200.

Anyone looking for some PMC X-TAC M855 Green tip 5.56? I've got 1k rounds i'm looking to sell. Make me an, educated, reasonable offer.

No worries, i do my best not to take this kinda stuff personal.

And you realize that the Dems don't control Congress, right? And that there were many Dems who were against what the ATF proposed with the M855? It's not going to happen any time soon. I tell you what, if we are letting the fear market dictate the transaction, then I have 1k Remington Golden Bullet 22 lr I will trade you one for one...I hear some Dems don't like that ammo either. I just found your comment about "educated" pricing to be completely ironic, because anyone who educates themselves on the reality of what's going on would know that it isn't worth any more than it was two months ago. Listen, I dont need to sell this ammo, and i'm even asking for less than what i paid for it. If no one wants it at my offer, its not going to break my heart i'll just keep it and store it away in case the zombies actually attack. Its all good.

I wont go lower than 0.41 a round, which is just about the current price per round for a bulk buy of 1k rounds. Simple enough for you?

THe ban did not get repealed it was shelved, the Dems are pushing for an outright ban on AR-15 ammo period. Check this link. http://www.infowars.com/dems-demand-atf-use-existing-authority-to-outlaw-ar-15-ammo/

I've almost exclusively shot Barnes ammo out of all my rifles from a 25-06 up to my 300WSM and have been nothing but impressed. I bought a Remington 700 XCR in 300 Win Mag and could never get it to group (used 165gr TTSX) which from what i have read is a little to light for the 300 Win Mag and may have been my consistent grouping problem. None the less I've ALWAYS wanted a Sendero but trying to find one in 300 Win Mag new is next to impossible so i figured the RUM would cover the bases all the way around and that i would start with 180gr TTSX and see what happens. Unfortunately, trying to find Barnes 300 RUM 180gr TTSX is next to impossible (found 1 place online and bought 2 boxes) and the Nosler ammo is even more difficult to find in stock (havent found ANY in stock yet). So, i'll give the Barnes a whirl and hope for the best. I really do appreciate all to input it has opened my eyes as far as my entry into long range shooting.
