[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1245038, member: 12995"] I have a lot of Senderos, and they are awesome rifles, but I also have two 5R rifles. The 5R rifles advantage is that the rifling design doesn't create pinch-point on the bullet as it's traveling down the bore. The 5R's tend to be slightly faster than standard rifling, and the design of the rifling seems to help deter copper buildup and is VERY easy to clean. You can run a brush and wet patch down both a standard rifled barrel and a 5R rifled barrel and you can feel the difference in how smoothly they pass down the 5R barrel. The Sendero and 5R rifles from Remington both have the SAME HS Precision stocks (just different color) and the only difference is the Sendero has a fluted 6-groove rifled barrel, and the 5R is not fluted, and has 5R rifling. I would keep the barrel at 26", and just have it threaded and re-crowned at that length, then add your muzzle brake. Just my opinion. The setup I listed falls just under $2,000 for the whole package, not just the gun. [/QUOTE]
