I had a sendero in 7mm rem mag. My particular gun didn't shoot very well out of the box because the barrel was misaligned and touching the stock resulting in 1.5" groups at 100yrds. I opted to sell the rifle instead of correctly bedding it. I also have the same rifle in 22-250 and it...

I have hunted with 150gr Sciroccos for the last 4 or 5 years in my 7mm win mag. I've taken over 20 deer successfully from 25 to 330yrds without a problem. Here in Mississippi there aren't very many places to hunt where shots will be over 300yrds. I love this bullet! It holds together well at...

Can you give me more info on this guy in south alabama?

Thanks for the info!

I live in Central Mississippi and have a 7mm remington sendero that needs some accurizing work including bedding. Can anyone suggest a good gunsmith in Mississippi, alabama or Louisianna?

The gun shot poorly before i took the stock off. I've had the stock off twice since i've had it. Once to install a jewel trigger and once to figure out why the barrel wasn't centered in the stock. and to answer your question, no I dont have a torque wrench so its probably not torqued to the...

My gun still grouping poorly. I noticed that there is a larger gap down the right side of the barrel than the left. Could this be the cause of the poor accuracy? If so, how can I correct this problem? The stock is free floated and easily allows a dollar to slide down it length between it and the...

I broke in the barrel as per instructions on this website 2 months ago. I replaced the factory trigger with a Jewel and it is unbelievable. As far as bedding goes, I assumed it was already glass bedded. How would I go about trueing the action?

I shot 3 different 5 shot groups with this sendero and the best group was 1.5 moa at 100 yards. That is unacceptable. I have this gun in 22-250 and it shoots the 55gr bergers 1/2 moa all day long. What's the first thing I should check before a get rid of this rifle?

Thanks for the feedback. Im going to cook up a few loads tonight. Ill let everyone know how it goes on the range tomorrow!

I need a little help with some starting load data. I just purchased some Sierra 168gr match kings and berger 168 gr vld. I'm looking for a good load for my Remington Sendero 7mm. gun)

I haven't noticed any problems with it yet. It's actually my first AR rifle and i'm definetly not an expert on them. I've only run about 60 rounds thru it so far and its fine so far. I considered a bushmaster myself before buying the ruger. The only reason I went with the ruger was because it's...

I purchased one of these about 4 months ago. It actually shoots really well. I get 1-1.25 inch 5 shot groups at 100yrds with good 55gr ammo. I topped it with the Leupold ar-15 scope that is calibrated for 55 gr bullets and it works great. Just zero the scope at 100yrds and your ready. My range...

I am an eye doc and a shooter. I would recommend wearing shooting glasses everytime you shoot. It's not worth the risk of damaging or loosing an eye. Personally, I think the protection that prescription glasses provide is adequate but definitely not optimal. For those of you who are middle aged...

I did adjust the x pro trigger in the gun to its lightest setting which is probably around 2-3 lbs but it feels more like 5 lbs when shooting on the bench. I plan on replacing the trigger completely in the next few weeks. I still plan on going over the rifle before i take it out for roound 2...
