I have a Sendero in 300RUM and I can say this; it kicks like a Mule...lol. It's quite heavy especially with the large Harris bi-pod but I think once I get comfortable with it, I'll love it. May take it to WY this fall for Deer, but maybe not. My old .280 serves me very well in that department. Ammo is half the price of the RUM. Hope to visit Africa next summer. I think the 300RUM will be the ticket on large plains game. I tend to agree with you guys; short magnums seem like a lot of extra expense with no merit. I have a new .243 WSSM in a model 70 (won at the RMEF banquet). Not my cup of tea but I'll give it a go. May make a decent Antelope cartridge, but I'll have to see. Good hunting, and thanks for the opinions. grayghost
