[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 260272, member: 11717"] The Senderos are know for their out of the box accuracy. Two factors that add to their accuracy are the aluminum bedded stock and the heavier barrel. The stock is a very good solid platform. Heavier barrels are *generally* better for accuracy because they are more ridged and less prone to whip. They will also *generally* shoot better groups for the same reason and they are not as sensitive to heat as lighter barrels. The two biggest reasons for getting a flutted barrel are less weight and the cool factor. And by cool factor I dont mean barrel cooling. Fluttng doesn't *significantly* enhance cooling. The deeper the fluting the better. What cooling affect that is provided is not as much from increased surface area as it is getting the surface close to the bore at the bottom of the flutted channel. When you remove steel from your barrel you will loose stiffness. But, a flutted barrel of the same wieght as a non flutted barrel will be stiffer. Roughly, for instance, a flutted #7 contour barrel will weigh about the same as non-flutted #6 contour barrel and be a little stiffer, but not as stiff as a non-flutted #7 contoured. Back to the original question. Bottom line... you are more likely to get a more accurate Sendero out of the box than you are to get an equal or more accurate SPS. You might get a tack driver, and you might not. The odds are better with the Sendero. [/QUOTE]
