the scope is a pentax gameseeker 4-12x40. And its mounted on silver weaver bases and tall weaver scope rings. I would guesss its somewhere in the ballpark of 13 pounds after i mounted the brick of a bipod ! :yike:

A scope with a 3" eye relief on an Ultramag?! You're in for a lot of headaches... bring a good first aid kit!!! :yike:

I'm thinkin that if you call tech support, the barrel deresonator should be somewhere near mid shaft.. Not so close to the muzzle.
-Steve
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. it looked a little goofy to me being so close to the muzzle, but i guess thats how its supposed to be :dunno:
And straight shooter, i was a little skeptical of buying the scope for that reason alone, but it actually has better eye relief than the specs say. i shouldnt have any problems with eye relief.....but if i do, i'll be kicking myself for it :chuckle:

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.

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:

Do you reload?
my dad used to reload for his .44 and now that we both got ultra mags he says we are going to start reloading them. so i will not be buying the sirrocco's like i was planning. We'll be reloading this gun as well as my dad's

Varying powder charge and seating depth will do it.

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.
