In my opinion the sendero is a great gun out of the box and will be my next gun.
Right now I shoot a savage 16 in 300 wsm with a vx3 scope and can shoot out to 600 all day.
My daughter shoots a ruger 77(heavy barrel) in 25-06 with 100 gr nozzlers it good out that far as well
good luck

I own 2 senderos, a 270 wincherster, and a remington 7mm magnum. The Senderos are just sniper rifles for hunting in my opinion. Being a Special Forces soldier, we had 12 M-24 sniper rifles in our Company. 2 per team, I would put my senderos up against these 5000 dolllar guns.

300 WM lots enough rifle for 600 yards.

Don't think you can beat the Sendero for the "out of the box" rifle, but I don't think you need a 300 for a 600yds deer hunting. The 7's bc are just better and just in case you have a need to extend your range, the 7 mag will get you there with no problem. My sendero will shoot 2 to 3 inches at 600 yds all day long. Good luck with your choice.

Once again I'll be the odd man out. For less money, you could buy a Savage in any caliber you want to shoot to 600 yards and be effective. I would go with the weather warrior 16/116 series or the Mod 12 line and get into something that will allow you to use what money you have left over to get some glass. The 11/111 and 10/110 series rifles will also fill the bill. They have great accuracy and with the new accu-stock you gain even better performance. I own 2 Savages and won't trade them for anything. But if your really wanting a remington, I would definitely consider a Sendro for performance.
