[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1107519, member: 80699"] Ron, Do you have a 300 win mag Sendero? I have not been able to locate one anywhere that I could actually weigh (or have weighed by the shop). If you have one in 300 and have weighed it, I'd be interested to hear the weight. This is important to me because I have not found manufacturer's weights to be entirely reliable. For example, I found the Rem LRR to weigh not the 9 they claimed but fully 9.5. The acusport 5r that I love (which appears to have the same contour as a sendero and is likewise fluted and 26") weighed 9lbs. Honestly, I think that it is the same barrel contour, etc... So does a Sendero really weigh 8.5 lbs? As I mentioned, the 5r I weighed was 9 flat, and from what I can read has the same taper as the sendero. On the other hand, it has the stock that I want on it, the M40, and maybe the sendero stock is lighter...I just don't know. So without weighing all the parts, its not a leap I can take. BTW, my Zeiss was supposed to weigh 18 oz, but it weighed 21 because it was the lock-plex version, even though they told me on the phone (Zeiss) that there was no weight difference. On the other hand, Weatherby quoted the Accuguard as 8.75lbs. But one in 300 win mag only weighed 7 and 14 oz., slightly less actually. Go figure....but one thought I have is to get that 5r and shoot it as is for now. Eventually, sell the M40 stock, and pick up a PSW edge fill Rifleman's stock. These are made by McMillan and standard weight is supposed to be 32 oz, edge fill is 26. That's a really light stock. Only thing is....the balance will be atrocious, so I don't think that will work. But overall, the Sendero HS Precision stock will not work for me, its a poor fit. It would have to go, so honestly not sure that's a good option even if a Sendero weighs 8.5 lbs. And I'd still be looking at a 10 lb rig. With the accuguard, because of it's medium heavy countour, I am at 9 and 5 as it is...with an edge fill McMillan, I could probably drop another 8-10 oz's. That said, just from a visceral perspective, I still like that 5r best.... [/QUOTE]
