Remington Sendero Questions!

[BIGJAKE]

I have been looking at a long range medium game rifle and the Remington Sendero in 7 mag or .300 mag looks to be the best bet for me on the market.

Does antone here have one?

What is the accuracy like at 300 and 400 yards?

What ammo are you running in it?

Would you recomend it or is there a better choice on the market that I am not aware of?

I bought one and I have only shot it 6 times. It seems to have excellent potential.

I have shot a 25-06 and it would shoot much better than I can.
I have wanted one since I shot it.

I am happy with it and depending on your budget, you can find better on the market, but it will cost you.

I have one in .223 and just picked one up in 25-06. had a .300 weatherby in the past. All very accurate and good buys for the money! The Remington 5R is probably a little more accurate in the .308, 300 win calibers but they are hard to find. If you want to have it built just look around and find a used remington action, either short or long depending on caliber wanted. Get a nice barrel mated to it and find a nice used stock and you can come in cheaper than a new sendero and have a more accurate rifle.

I shot one in .338RUM.

At least I think it was a Sendero, I know it was a factory unmolested Remington. I put 3 rounds in about 1" at 200 yards off a sandbag. That's about all you want to do with that little number off a bench.

I had a friend turn me onto the 5R last night and I thought about it and I can find one for under $1000 and I have found the Sendero for $869. So I am now wondering which one would be the better buy. Is the 5R barrel that much more accurate for an extra $120? Both of the rifles mentioned above have the same H.S. Precision stock and the only difference that I have found is the barrel and the unit with the 5R barrel hold 5 rounds and the sendero holds 3 rounds.

I think all Remington barrels, regardless of model, start from the same pile of barrel blanks.

I've got a 338RUM and haven't shot it yet, no brake installed. Did the one you shot have a brake? Does it hurt as bad as it looks like it would?

I had one in 7mm and sold it to a friend. He still reloads for it. It was kind of boring shooting 12oz water bottles at 300 yards off the hood of a pickup over and over again. It was outfitted with a Bushnell Elite 4200 4x16x50mm. It was heavy but it sure could shoot. That was the most accurate rifle I've owned and probably the most accurate I will ever own. It was stupid accurate. Really.
