i had a first gen for about 10 yrs, then sold it here on the fire. was a great shooter. my only problem was that it was balanced poorly, very nose heavy. no matter how much i liked it on the range, i didnt like toting it anywhere when i was out in the woods. even my 700P, which is same contour and barrel length, is balanced better than that sendero was.

I really like the Bell and Carlson M40 stocks on the Long Range better than the HS Precision stocks on the Sendero.The laminated stock on my 7STW Sendero was a special run from 1997.It has a good balance.

I bought one about a year after they first came on the market. Was a 300winmag that I used as my beanfield rifle for whitetails. It shot 180gr factory Winchester ballistic Silvertips extremely well. I killed several deer literally across some of my soybean fields but I grew tired of the length and weight, so I sold it. I go out west every year for elk but never seriously considered taking it due to weight.

I have a 7mm ultra mag, a 26 Nosler that was a 7 mag, and a 700 5R in 300 Win mag that is like a Sendero. All shoot under an inch. They aren’t walk about rifles, but are great in stands.

I understand that Senderos in 25-06 are pretty popular in TX for deer hunting

hunted with one for many years... always killed what I shot at with it.. I live in TN but have taken it mule deer hunting twice and hunting for antelope as well... Heavy, yes... but very, very accurate and it is one of the most accurate guns I own... Hence why I use it as much as I do
The worst thing ever to happen to cops is the personal video recorder... Now people can see the truth

You know, one of the points I’ve seen lately that have me thinking differently, that they are not too much, They are only one pound heavier than an accumark.
Would you carry a weatherby accumark?
I’ve been looking hard at Senderos for years, Finally pulled the trigger. Thing is, it’s coming to me in pieces! Laughing.
Thinking hard about having it cerakoted.
I’ll post pics when it’s done!
Loving these posts though!!

i dont think the weight bothered me as much as the length and poor balance. theyre also mostly archaic now bc theyre all twisted slow, except the 300 mag.

I’m curious how many hung with a Remington Sendero. Post whatever you want if you do, thought it would be cool To see who hunt’s with one, what kind of application do you use it for and maybe a picture of your rifle.
I had an early one, in 7mm RM. Crazy accurate, shot my first antelope with it. Wish I still owned it. Until I discovered the LTR/Compact Tactical configuration, it was my "ideal" for any pondered rifle build. The short barreled versions are just handier..... Kaiser Norton

Kaiser Norton thats where i ended up ... with an XCR 20” 308. much handier and shoots as well or better

Not so much lately but there was a time......... I've owned Senderos in 264 Win Mag, 7mag, 7 STW, 300 Win Mag(2), 300 RUM (Actually SF2 (2)) and 338 Remington Ultra Mag. Here are two. Sendero's, 338 RUM: top 7mm STW: Bottom This one started life as a 7mm Mag. It was punched to 7mm STW before I bought it pre-enjoyed. I did not know that when I bought it as it was marked 7mag. IIRC this was in the mid 1990's and I had not been reloading a long time. I loaded up some 7mag rounds and when I fired one the spent brass looked like it had a flower blooming from the case. It took me a bit to figure out that it had been punched to 7STW. Most of the game I shot with this one were prior to 2004 and no pix. I'm not a long range shooter but did nail a white-tail doe at a lasered range of 590 yds. in 2000. Shot a number of Sika stags and hogs to boot. I purchased the 338 RUM and my first 300 RUM at the same time. I ended up selling the 300 RUM. Shortly after I purchased the 338 RUM I sent it to Hill Country Rifle for their accurizing package, pillar bedding and a Vais Brake. With the brake it is a pussy-cat. Taken it on two elk hunts. No elk, but did take a mule deer in Montana. Here are three loads..... My go to load in the 338 RUM for years were the 200 Gr. Ballistic Tips @+/- 3,150 FPS MV. With the Leupold 4.5 x 14 with the Boone and Crockett reticle zero's at 200 yds., the sub-tensions are dead on at 300 and 400 yds. IIRC the doe in the pix below was taken @ 300yds and the Aoudad ewe @ close to 400 yds. IIRC. I've switched to the 200 gr. Accubonds as my go to bullet in this rifle. +/- 270 yds to target (under dot) Where I hunt, due to the nature of the terrain, if a critter is not DRT and one does not find a blood trail within 10' of the POI, usually the critter is lost. Nice thing about shooting stuff with the RUM is, most stuff is DRT and if not, the two leaky holes provide a blood trail a blind man could follow. I like that. ya! GWB

Great looking guns!!

I have 2 first generations in .300 rum and .300 win . I hunt whitetail deer in large pastures with them. They shoot great but the Rum is getting close to needing a new bbl .
