Title: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: Antlershed on January 07, 2009, 03:12:52 PM: Going to get the scope put on tonight, and then I just need to wait for the new Jewell trigger to come, and then it will be off to the range. :IBCOOL:

Post by: HawkenBob on January 07, 2009, 03:40:49 PM: Is the Ziess going on?
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: cascademountainhunter on January 07, 2009, 03:46:29 PM: nice gun. what caliber is it?
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: HawkenBob on January 07, 2009, 03:53:39 PM: Brent is probably gone due to flooding in his area. Its a 300 RUM that I know. He's chasing his computer down in the North River.

Good luk out there Brent.

Post by: Bearhunter on January 07, 2009, 03:53:45 PM: lOOKS LIKE A SENDERO WITH A BRAKE ADDED? 7MM?
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: Antlershed on January 07, 2009, 05:09:55 PM: Just got back to work from doing some flood work, and then its back out to do some more flood work after I finish up here.

It is a Rem Mod 700 Sendero SF II in .300 RUM with the DE .875" 3-port brake installed by DE. Yes, the Zeiss will be going on it. :)

Post by: Red Dawg on January 07, 2009, 05:18:22 PM: what a nice rifle. Great choice on the caliber also. Someday I want a sendero, one of the best looking guns out there.

Post by: Charlie on January 07, 2009, 08:14:25 PM: Nice setup!! Enjoy! :tup:
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: 12Gauge on January 07, 2009, 10:27:25 PM: The only RUM I like is Capt. Morgan and Bacardi. Nice though.

Post by: Intruder on January 08, 2009, 10:23:05 AM: That'll be a thumper.... very nice. You'll luv that trigger. What stock is on it.... is that standard from Rem?
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: bucklucky on January 08, 2009, 01:32:36 PM: NICE!!
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: Antlershed on January 08, 2009, 02:50:44 PM: It is the standard stock that comes on the Sendero's from Remington. I'm not sure who makes it.
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: lazydrifter on January 08, 2009, 11:14:38 PM: The stock is a H.S.Precision. I have the same rifle but in the 7MM Rem. mag. They are real shooters.
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: Antlershed on January 10, 2009, 01:16:16 AM: Got the Zeiss mounted tonight. Just waiting on the trigger now...

Post by: 1bowhunter1 on January 10, 2009, 01:21:53 AM: Looks real nice with that little "SPOTER SCOPE" on there!! :chuckle: That'l the job done
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: Antlershed on January 14, 2009, 04:02:04 PM: Well, the UPS man brought me a present today at work. Hopefully I will be shooting within the next week. :IBCOOL:
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: lazydrifter on January 14, 2009, 04:16:02 PM: What kind of trigger did you go with?
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: Antlershed on January 14, 2009, 04:16:52 PM: Jewell.
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: lazydrifter on January 14, 2009, 04:42:27 PM: Did you ever look to see if the factory trigger was adjustable or what the pull was. I've thought about switching mine but it feels really good as is. I've never checked the weight on it.
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: Antlershed on January 14, 2009, 04:52:06 PM: Mine has the new X-Mark in it, and my VTR with the X-Mark is not very consistent on what it breaks at. I was mainly just looking for an upgrade, and something that would remain consistent.
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: wastickslinger on January 14, 2009, 09:40:20 PM: is the X mark easy to adjust? I havn't messed with mine yet
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: lazydrifter on January 14, 2009, 10:23:51 PM: there was quite a post on the Xmark trigger over on 24hrcampfire in the gunsmithing section about 5 or 6 days ago.

I haven't tried it, but the smith I took it to didn't have the right tools to do it. I read on another forum somwhere that you need to send it to a Remington authorized center... :dunno:
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: Antlershed on January 16, 2009, 02:56:01 PM: I decided to weigh the Sendero today, and with the scope, sling and bipod it comes in right at 11.4lbs.
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: mossback91 on January 16, 2009, 03:47:12 PM: is this going to be a hunting gun or just a longrange target gun for you?? thats weight is a bit heavy for a hunting gun but I actually figured it would weigh more
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: Antlershed on January 16, 2009, 03:58:00 PM: It is going to be a hunting gun. I just need to start lifting weights so I can pack it around all season. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: jackelope on January 16, 2009, 04:30:20 PM: i was dreading to hear how much that rig would weigh in at. thats a beautiful gun, but too heavy for me.
have fun with her.
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: Red Dawg on January 16, 2009, 04:34:59 PM: have you thought up any loads for it yet.

Eberlestock brotha... EBERLESTOCK!!!

AOD and I both shoot the same rifle... infact, AODs is pretty much identical to the one antlershed is rolling now. We packed ours all over hell and back hunting both deer and bears this year, both of them spent a lot of time in the scabard of our Eberlestocks. Mine ways about a pound less because I'm running the old style Sendero stock and Tally's... but it's still 10+ pounds. The way I see it is... I could afford to lose about 40 pounds around the middle... so leaning out the rifle is a bit like selling the car for gas money.

I've got a few ideas from others, but I'm not setup to reload myself yet.

:chuckle: I will look into those packs. I actually put it over my shoulder and it doesn't feel too bad, but I'm sure that can change after half a day.
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: JoshT on January 16, 2009, 04:45:09 PM: Not only do they pack a big rifle well... but you can stuff half a bear in one too...

I haven't put a sling on a rifle in over two years now. I love the J104 (which they don't make anymore)... it makes a great pack even for those 2-day trips.
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: Red Dawg on January 16, 2009, 04:47:05 PM: I also pack around a 300 rum in my eberlestock and it is the only way to go. Mine is a bdl so not quite as heavy. Get one.
Title: Re: Almost ready to shoot
Post by: jackelope on January 16, 2009, 05:04:51 PM: i carry a stainless synthetic browning abolt in my eberlestock. it's a heavy rifle(not that heavy) and i agree it is the only way to go for when you are on the move.
