Yup I had 2 of them. Very nice. If I did not have a 6.5 Bee on order from the Bee custom shop......

Good move on Remington's part. Great cartridge; and the Sendero was an excellent firearm.

It is a nice one Dan, but I do still have my Pac Nor barreled 264 WM. Even though it looks to be getting close to the end of it's useful barrel life it still shoots not bad. Currently sighted in with 100 gr partitions propelled by RL 22, shoots not bad. I made those up to go wolf hunting but sadly haven't made it out for them yet this winter.

I tried putting them over the Chrony last winter but in the poor light I couldn't get a reading. All I know is there isn't much drop out to 300 yards when sighted in at 250 
I should stretch it out in the spring to see what it does farther out.

I figured since the barrel is coming to the end of it's life I don't mind experimenting with the 100's. I carried it a couple of times for deer but ended up using the 260 Rem on the 5 I shot.
I was going to do a 270 Wby but found after using it I really like the regular 270 Win a lot more. I do still have a thing for the 308 Norma and have dies and brass already so one day almost certainly that's what it will become. Brand new take off 300 WM barrels for a Rem 700 are pretty easy to come across.

The Norma is a cool 30 caliber for sure. I guess you have alot of options. I do really like the 264 though. Todays bullets and powders make it even easier to get those factory speeds today. I have some RL33 and 26 I am going to try soon.. 25 is very accurate in mine..

Scotty,
This is the next logical step up from the 25/06 with out getting into a custom build. With this gun you get those darn 6.5 bullets in a gun you know is going to be a tack driver and enough powder to get it screaming!
What a wicked outfit this would make for 5/600 yd sheep or caribou/ mulies/Wtail/speed goat etc, LR weapon........... bad to the bone.
