Hey all, first off, yes i know, just get the serial and stampings to identify, but looking for info someone may have off-hand first.
Long story short, seller is using as a partial trade for something I'm selling. He identified the gun as a Model 700 Sendero in .308. Just doing my due diligence to ensure the gun is worth what they want me to apply as "trade value". Also says it has a Leupold Vari-xIII 4x12. I'll get the serial and stampings later today.
So 2 things:
1. From my midnight researching, the sendero model may not have been offered in.308 (current model is not). The comparable model to the Sendero in short action was the Model 700 VS SF. I tried looking at Remingtons "model archives", but couldn't find anything to put that to rest. The stock is definitely different than the current VS SF model 700. So anyone able to confirm model just by pictures?
2. If anyone's a Leupold expert, I don't think the Vari-xIII ever came in 4x12, but the Vari-xII was. Again, either a discontinued model or it's not a Vari-xIII. According to the internet (which means it's right), there should be model stampings near the gold ring, I'll have the seller look and send to me.
Any info is helpful, thanks in advance!
