Author Topic: Sendero line coming back! (Read 1536 times)

I don't know if this has been mentioned here yet but they are indeed coming back, and in even better form

They will be known as the Sendero SF II

They will look like the current VS SF II, with the black flutes on the stainless barrel, palm swell, and all the goodies.

5 magnum calibers.. .264WM, 7RM, 7RUM, 300WM, & 300RUM.

I'm kinda sad they arent offering the .338rum but anything is better than nothing.

Click on the following link to read about the current VS SF II and we will b getting the same thing with the Sendero, just in bigger calibers....

The actual Sendero isnt shown at the site yet, but will be in February according to the Main Rem page(bottom right corner).

A dealer in PA is taking deposits, my local dealers here in Ohio arent yet. I'll wait another month and see what happens locally.

Yeah I'm pretty excited about the new sendero. I'd really like one in the 264 Win. Mag. Heres a picture of the new Sendero.

The only downside to this rifle is the cost. Wholesale is around $800.00. But I'm not going to let that stop me.

800.00 is a good price, where are you getting that it?

msrp will be around $1,100.00 and most places will sell them for around $900.00

I'd pay whatever, I need one. Trying to find the older models in .300rum and .338rum is near to impossible, new ones anyways. I wont miss the boat again.

JDenis · « **Reply #3 on:** January 26, 2006, 01:39:06 PM »

My father had his FFL license several years back, but has since given it up. However we still get the Jerry's magazines and it gives wholesale prices (dealers prices). So yes your approximate cost of 900 is on course, at least in my area. Around here a normal stocking dealer will have 925-950 on the new sendero. On order, if the dealer knows you I'd expect to pay 900 +tax maybe a little less.

I have never shot a sendero but from EVERYTHING I have read is that they are a great rifle if weight isn't an issue. I have read one great article on the 338 RUM in the sendero so I know where you are coming from. I would say that if there is enough interest in this years run of senderos, that next year there will be 338 RUM available. Maybe even a special edition this year.

Let us know if you get one and how it shoots. Just for curiousity what caliber, other than the 338 RUM, are you interested in?

sniperVLS · « **Reply #4 on:** January 26, 2006, 04:44:09 PM »

JDenis,

I'll be getting it in .300rum, only because the .338rum isnt being offered.

I don't mind my rifles being heavy. The VLS and VSF arent light and they are a joy 2 shoot. Theres something about a light rifle that doesnt feel right to me, like the Mountain Rifle I had in .30-06 for about 10 years, damn mule kicker, lol. I love long range shooting/hunting and my confidence sky rockets when I know Ive got a well built, very sturdy tool for the job.

The .338rum on past Senderos were the best sellers. You can still find them in 7mm mag and .300winmag, but never the .338rum. Thats why I find it odd its not atleast being offered in this '06 line.

Thanks for the price explanation, oh and was it in the magazine you mentioned? If so, was a weight noted? Im assuming itll be atleast 8.5 lbs like the current VS SF II and VSF that have fluted barrels. Thats lighter than the VLS by 3/4 of a lb thanks to the barrel fluting.

Thanks for replying and putting up with the madness

Oh and on a side note, Im probably going to send it off to JP to get their brake put on and let them cryotreat the barrel so the first cold shot shoots the same as all the others. Ive seen it first hand and its not a gimmick. I just hope they dont remove the sexy black flutes on the barrel during the process :-D I'll email them right now and ask.

Saw a 338 rum sendreo last month (used), but looked like it has never been shot. COULD have bought for 525 out the door.
I'm bent over, sombody kick me!!!!

JDenis · « **Reply #6 on:** January 27, 2006, 05:10:38 AM »

They didn't give any weight information on it. I would guess that its real close to the previous sendero. Trust me its not madness, it's passion. Well thats what I tell my girlfriend anyway.

525.00 for a sendero especially the 388 rum sounds like the deal of the century. I'm pretty passive so I won't grill you, but thats like cutting off your leg in bear country. It's only a matter of time until they smell the blood and come to get you. HAHAHA.

Is the 338RUM still there or has it been sold?

sniperVLS · « **Reply #7 on:** January 27, 2006, 08:33:20 AM »

I am not as passive as JDenis so....

dancoman, WTH were you thinking man!!?!?!?!

If I could reach thru the monitor and give you a quick strangle, I would!!

Where did you see this at?! a store? online?

JDenis, good luck on smuggling it in :-D Being single makes the purchases much easier, hence coming home with about 6 gems in the last 12 months.

kudzu · « **Reply #8 on:** January 27, 2006, 04:40:30 PM »

Stop, ouch, oh,oh !!!!!

This gun was at a sporting googs store I stopped at while out of town. I still have their card.

When I get up off the floor from my beating, I will try to find it and call tomarrow.

nomosendero · « **Reply #9 on:** January 28, 2006, 11:52:13 AM »

This is one of those rounds that I have wanted since my teen's that I have
never owned. I have owned several 7mm's & a few 25's, but the only 6.5
that I have used is the 6.5X55 & now my Wife won't let me use HER rifle.

I took a nice Whitetail & my first BIG Hog with that rifle when it was mine.
The .264WM cartridge combined with this 26" accuracy rifle is about as good a Mule Deer/Whitetail round as one can imagine & of course will be
great for those combo Mule Deer / Antelope excursions. No doubt with
the 140 & above in a tough bullet it will work for Elk, though I would prefer my 300 for that for insurance as Elk hunting for me gets expensive & I want to take advantage of every ethical & reasonable shooting opportunity.
JDenis
Why did you have to provide that picture, reminding me about the black
flutes, 2 studs & all of that. Time to get that little bank out of safe & start
saving!

You are definitely in a timeout for this :-D

IowaBuckHunter · « **Reply #16 on:** January 31, 2006, 03:43:31 PM »

I got my name on a 7mm, can't wait to get it. I really wanted it in 25-06. I have been talking to rem and they said that if they got an order for at least one hundred guns at one time in 25-06 then they would make some. Anyone want to place an order with me???

They really said that?

To be honest, I'd have to pass on that caliber but I'd get a petition going for the .338rum for sure :lol:

Well, atleast they are bringing them back right?

7mm was/is probably your second choice behind the 25-06, just as the .300rum is my 2nd compared to the .338rum I was hoping for.

Im just going to have to get the older one in that caliber. What better excuse to have several Senderos?

Must be nice...sniper, I'd hate to see your gun cabinets and the look on your wife's face every time you walk in with a new gun.

Thats the beauty of it, I'm single :-D

Ive lost gf's to home theatre purchases in the past, but never a gun purchase. Ive come home with 5 in the past year though, so if Im sure if I had a gf/wife, they would have left by now.

kudzu · « **Reply #20 on:** February 01, 2006, 04:02:35 PM »

sniperVLS, I found another sedero SS fluted in 338RUM. Over the phone he said 700, but to come in with the green and see what happens. I'm guessin around 600 to 625 out the door with cold hard cash.

PM if you want number, it's in NC.

Still nervous about the 525 deal, DM

sniperVLS · « **Reply #21 on:** February 01, 2006, 04:38:12 PM »

$700 is still fantastic, why dont you nab it?!

Im putting $$ aside for a Sig p226 Navy. I'm still going to PM you for the # though incase I can scrape up some more $$. If I was in NC, Id go and buy it with cash somehow. Anything around $700 is a deal, low to mid 6 is a steal :shock:

As far as you know, is the rifle new? PM inbound

sniperVLS · « **Reply #22 on:** May 02, 2006, 06:43:28 PM »

walmart website has the Sendero SF II posted. Im going to try and get a few if possible b4 these are gone.

Anyone pick one of these beauties up yet? review?

Demonical · « **Reply #23 on:** May 20, 2006, 05:54:33 PM »

I stumbled onto a .270 Sendero at Wholesale Sports in Edmonton Alberta last year. The rifle was a beauty. I got the serial number and sent that to Remington and found out the rifle had been manufactured in 1996. I bought it immediately. It had a terrible trigger (compared to my older 700's) and I had to do a trigger job but after that the rifle turned out to be a tack driver with 140 Nosler Ballistic Tip or Accubond handloads. It will put 5 of 'em into 1" at 100 yards.

I got a pretty decent whitetail with it in Nov. 2005.

The calibers in the new run of Senderos do not interest me, though I would guess Remington will expand the offerings in a year or so.
The RUM's have never appealed to me...

nomosendero · « **Reply #24 on:** May 21, 2006, 04:40:43 PM »

You did well. A friend of mine has a 270 Sendero & that is a rare find!
