I'm lookin to buy a new Remington 700 Sendero SF II. I would like to get it in .264 win mag, but I've had guys tell me the .264 is a barrel burner and the gun wont last very long. Most say to get the 7mm RUM. I want the .264 , but..??...and as for the 7mm RUM, its just too much for what I want the gun for. (Whitetail and varmints.) Also, lookin to top it with the Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 BRX. any experience with that scope?
