Sendero Question

[Texgun]

Hello,
I am interested in a Remington rifle at a local gun store. The owner tells me it is a Sendero. Would the rifle be marked "Sendero" or is there a serial number range I should look for.
What I am wanting to do is make sure I'm really getting a Sendero.
Thanks

The stock is HS-Precision and barrels tended to be longer than standard, 26" I believe. I don't know if the link I provided is current or not.

Sounds like a good question for Remington. From what I know I don't think there is an id just description.

But I could be wrong.

I have 3 Sendaros. The only thing they seem to have in common is they are all stainless and the recoil pad melted to the floor of the safe on all three of them.

I hope you contacted Remington and got them to give you new pads for the rifles.

I've seen a lot at gun stores melted to the floor. It's a gooey laugh.

If it's a new gun the box will say Sendero

Blindstich, Thanks for reminding me. I intend to get Rem to replace them. I just have not got around to it yet.

Mine says Sendero on it.

Mine says Sendero on it.

I thought about this thread when I walked past the safe today

Mine is also stamped "Sendero" on the left side of the barrel

 

[reynolds357]

I will look at mine tomorrow. I do not recall seeing it on any of mine. Might be there.

I do not recall seeing it on any of mine.

On mine it was on the left side, about in the middle of the barrel, with the chambering information

Just curious here. I looked at a Sendero SFI a few weeks back someone was selling. The barrel was taped up with peeling tape and glue residue all over it, stock was worn slick and scratched a bit, trigger was good and the bore seemed good. The gun just had an overall used look to it. I know it was an older gun, with Leupold bases on it. The guy wanted $880.00, he came down to $650, I offered $550 because of the appearance of the rifle. Looking it up in the Standard Catalog which is a few years old, I offered a more than fair price. Is an older Sendero bringing more than a book value based on condition? I'd buy it for what I offered but not for what he wanted.

I'm looking for a heavier profiled barrel on a 7mmRM. I'd love to have a Sako Roughtech Range but, they aren't importing them at this time. The Weatherby Accumark V is nice but considerable more than the Sendero SFII, Cabelas Sako Range and the Remington 700 Long Range.

Mine said sendero on left side of barrel, only problem was it said .270 winchester too!

I don't know why they would bring more for the rifle alone

Sendero

It should be S.S. Long 26" barrel, fluted,and it better say Sendero on the barrel ,mine was in 7mm Rem mag ,and it was boringly Accurate ! Anyone could shoot out to 200 yards and hit a quarter ! Unfortunately older age and a bad back made me trade it for a Browning 300WSM that was half the weight of the Sendero ,but I loved that Remington !

This gun was made for long range shooting over "Bean fields" ....

Not all Senderos are SS and fluted, but they all seem to be very accurate

Texgun,
Did you go back and check out that rifle?
