I had the same gun 10.5 llbs out of the box.  It shot great but packing it all day dug into my shoulder, I used it for 2 years then traded it in on the none sendero verson.

i read on the package and it said for floated barrels it should be 3/4 of an inch from the muzzle. and for non floated barrels it should be closer to the stock.


Reading the LimbSaver package:
"will work anywhere on the barrel, however, optimum position has been determined to be closer to the stock or muzzle."

In my experience and talking to others that have them installed on various rifles, mid barrel length, whether floated or not, has provided the best accuracy enhancement. YMMV.

Thanks Steve, I guess i didnt read it right.  i think it wont look quite as goofy in the mid barrel so i'll definitely have to move it down some. 

And thank you everyone. I'm really excited about the rifle, minus it weighing so much. I have heard a lot of good things about the remington 700's so i got high hopes for this rem 700 sendero. It'll be my first .300RUM  :IBCOOL:

Does it shoot better with the cock ring?

If you are going to reload then you dont need to tune the barrel harmonics with the cock ring.
Varying powder charge and seating depth will do it.

With my best tuned hand load over the years for one particular rifle, I added a de-resonator and reduced groups by a significant amount.

i have seen some test shooting done with the cock ring on a T/C Encore and it made them group worse. i can't get on the site here at work or i'd post a link...firearms websites are blocked by a firewall.
