700 vs Sendero?
« on: December 27, 2005, 10:56:06 AM »
Can anyone tell me the differences between a regular Rem700 and a Sendero?  I'm considering which action to build a 300 WSM.

The action is the same. The rest of the gun (barrel & stock) is where the
difference is.
The barrel is varmit weight as opposed to standard taper. It
is rumored by usually accurate sources that the barrel quality is superior
to the std. 700. I understand the same is true of the Police version. I
believe this is right as the Sendero's I have are very good shooters, a
couple in the sub 1/2" area with loads they like.
The stock is the HS Precision Glass stock with a Alum. bedding block. It
is far superior to a regular Rem. /Win. /Sav. Mattel type syn. stock that
is too flexible. They are good as is but if skim bedded they will work as
good as the best syn. stocks. In fact with this slight mod along with a
re-crown and other mods. you will usually have a gun thjat will rival the
better customs if you don't mind the weight which I don't for many applications.
You will not make peace with the Bluecoats, you are free to go.

Thanks!  Now I see that what I want to build with a 700 is basically a Sendero in 300 WSM.  Much clearer now.

Well, they used to, but the Sendero was dropped. Rumor has it (don't know if it's true) that they are bringing out the Sendero again in some
long action calibers.
