Looking at buying one of these in 300wm for a western hunting rifle. Anybody bought one of these recently if so how was the accuracy? I would be reloading for it, hoping to get good accuracy with the 212 eldx. Any info would be appreciated.

I've had two of them. Both shot very consistent groups in the 3/4 to one inch range with handloads.

I recently bought one but haven't fired it . I've been around several over the years and all were solid shooters with factory ammo, some were excellent with hand loads . Many people don't like the palm swell of the factory stock , but it's use able for a while and easy to upgrade down the road.
I have one, not new, a good 10 years old. Shoots very accurately, 1/3-1/2 MOA is the typical range.
My only issue is the roughness of the factory Remington barrel. I get about 20 shots before groups open up to 1 MOA +, even cooled. It coppers like crazy. A couplesoakings of Wipeout and back to tackdriver.
I did the three finest sets of Tubbs bullets on it and so far it has been much better, probably more like 30+ shots between cleanings.

I had one that shot barely under 1 Minute with hand loads. I was dissatisfied so it's now a trued semi custom that's a hammer.
I've got a sendero that I put in a manners t6a and I hunt with it. Shoots 210 bergers at 2850fps and about 1 minute
Mine shoots 210 Berger vld around 3/4 minute without playing with seating depth. I have it in a manners t6a and like it a lot.
Mine is not new but shoots well - not great but acceptable for traditional hunting ranges. It even has a Jewell trigger. If I were buying today I'd be looking at a Tikka or I'd build a semi custom off of a trued 700 action. Maybe a 700 5r but you can build a rifle for that msrp. The palm swell on the Sendero's HS stock sucks - IMO. If I used mine more I'd change stocks.
If you want a rifle you can upgrade and turn into a great shooter that's customized for you, get the Sendero. If you want to buy a rifle that will drive tacks out of the box and not need any upgrades to shoot great or be a pleasure to shoot, look at a Tikka.

i don't have that rifle in 300WM but i do have the remington Gen2... threaded and a nice stock, sadly mine was was not free floating from the factory so i dropped it in a AIC AT stock and she shoots like a laser! don't forget to replace that factory trigger too
