remington 700 sendero
« on: October 20, 2009, 05:11:14 PM »
Hey guys i just got a new gun from my grandpa! super pumped up about it too... It is a remington model 700 sendero SFII in the .300 remington ultra mag caliber. It's one sweet gun! i was just curious to see how you guys thought it compared to a remington 700 ADL, BDL, or CDL ??

I got the same gun and I love mine. However it is heavier than the CDL. I first got the 700 XCR and it kicked quite a bit. I put a brake on it and then sold to get the sendero. It shoots like dream.  You would have to put a muzzle brake on the other rifles you talked about.  :twocents:

Nice. I think the sendero's run a bit heavier than the cdl's, but I don't think it'll be too heavy to pack around during hunting season.  Aren't they more of a target rifle?

That gun is crap. Give it to me so you don't have to deal with it and I'll have two.  :chuckle:

They are sweet guns, but are on the heavy side. Mine would not shoot any factory ammo worth a damn either. Once we started reloading, it made a world of difference.

Did you put a brake on the sendero? or does the weight keep the recoil down enough to save money and deal without out buying a brake?

I did not put a brake on my Sendero. I don't believe you need a brake on the sendero it has enough weight. Its a great gun and I agree that you need to use hand loads in it if at all possible. I got a load now that I am under a inch at 100.

okay thanks. just waiting to buy a nice scope for it and its game on with the sendero  :chuckle:
Ya me and my dad are starting to reload our own. He used to do it a lot and now he wants to get back into it. He's having trouble justifying the fact of droppin $65.00 per box on premier sirrocco's for his BDL .300 rum.

I did not put a brake on my Sendero, I didnt need it for my 7mm RUM.  I just bought mine this last spring and it is a great gun.  A little on the heavy side if you have been shooting the lighter synthetic guns.  I carried mine the last five days on my Idaho elk hunt in some extremely steep country and never noticed it being heavy.  

My Sendero shoots like a dream.  I would be very excited if I was you!  This gun is Remingtons Cadillac!!!

Exactly the cost of the low end 300 rum factory ammo is still quite a bit higher than you can reload for. Anyway good luck and your gonna love the gun.

Mine will consistently hit milk jugs at 950 yards with hand loads. I shot my blacktail with it saturday at 580 yards. Mine shoots the 208 gr Hornady A-Max's the best, but it also shot the 200gr Accubonds well.

I also use the Sendero in 300RUM.  Recoil is minimal.  No need for a brake or decelerator pad in my opinion.  Topped with a big scope and bipod, it's a tank, but very trustworthy in the field.  I shoot the Berger 175 VLDs and am impressed.

I shoot a 7mag SFII.  With handloads (150 grn nosler partition) it'll shoot 3 shots into one ragged hole at 100 yards. You get used to the weight after a while.  Best rifle I've ever owned.
