Re: remington sendero
The senderos can shoot. Most will shoot around .75 moa most of the time, and I have seen them shoot better than .75 moa alot.
My only problem is, I just do not see them as a great buy at $1300.00. For that price, you can dang near build a custome. Look around, you can usally pick up a slightly used one for around $750, to $850. At that price, I think they are a deal.
Just my thoughts

Re: remington sendero
I have a Sendero in 7mm RM, it is an excellent shooter, my brother has one in .270 that is a good shooter, but not as good as mine.
They can be iffy in accuracy, Remington really throats their rifles long.
1300 is WAY too much. Buds sells them for about 960.
Take a look at the savage longrange hunter.

Re: remington sendero
Cabelas firearm prices really do suck! Most of the Senderos (including the stainless, fluted models) can be had NIB for <$1,100. If you look around on GunBroker, etc., you can pick them up all day long for much less than the $1,300 Cabelas wants. Even by the time you pay for S&H and fee at your FFL for the transfer/BG check, you'll come out waaaay ahead of the Cabelas price. Plus you'll save money on not having to pay state sales tax which keeps even more money in your pocket for mounts/rings/optics/ammo/etc.
As for the Senderos themselves...they are generally excellent rifles, but they can be really hit or miss (no pun intended). I have owned several over the years and still have a SF 300WM model that is a solid 3/4MOA shooter with a wide variety of ammo/reloads. However, a buddy of mine bought the identical rifle a few months after me and we never could get his to shoot accurately. I also had one in 25-06 that would never get better than 1.5MOA on a good day. I really think it just depends on what day of the week yours was built on and how old/worn out the reamer and other tools were when they did the barrels. If you get a good one, they are keepers...if not, well...

Re: remington sendero
Like every other new Remington rifle I've owned or shot in the last five years (and that is a large number), one might shoot lights out and function perfectly, while the next has problems with fit and finish and shoots like shiite.
When I was still a fanatical Remington fan I wanted a 7mm mag or 25-06 Sendero and shot everyone I could at various ranges and asked questions of owners. One 7mm RM would shoot sub MOA with factory ammo and function fine, the next wouldn't shoot better than 2" and had all sorts of problems (extractor, bad inletting, etc.). I bought a Win Model 70 instead.
Remington is no longer the company it used to be. Cerberus Capital has squeezed them so badly they are sending anything out the door nowdays, at least in the non-LE line. And that's straight from a corporate bot in Madison, NC. Damn shame too. For 50 or more years the only thing my family bought was Remington. Not anymore. Outside of the LE/Mil line you have a 50-50 chance of problems or not shooting for crap.

Re: remington sendero
I have a Sendero in 264. It has been a solid .75 MOA for the last three years. Not sure if Remmy has dropped off in quality since my purchase several years ago. I gave $1050 at sportsmans.

Re: remington sendero
You can get a 5R and have a better factory rifle for under $1,000 out the door.

Re: remington sendero
My 308 VS (short action sendero) consistently shoots under 1/2" at 100. I also have a 300WM sendero in an AICS that shoots even better. Of course, those are both mid 90's guns.
$1300 sounds steep. Cabela's prices are usually not that high. Gun shows or the for sale section should yield substantially better deals.
I know the 5Rs shoot light's out.
