[QUOTE="idefendem, post: 719483, member: 51933"] Well the rig is set and ready: M700, Sendero SFII in 7mm Rem Mag (love that 26" fluted pipe!) 6.5x20x50 Zeiss Conquest, Harris bipod, DNZ one-piece 20MOA and a second "standard mount" DNZ for hunting (inside 500yds)-should I choose to rest my go-to Rugers1B in '06 and 45-70 for a season and lug this 11lb (as dressed) beast into the field. The one flaw is that the barrel channel on the HS stock is somewhat uneven on the right side and will need some touch up sanding to even out both sides. I have been prepping brass and have several lots loaded with Sierra's, Hornandy and Bergers from 150's to 175's to keep me interested while I shoot out any tooling marks in the barrel. All told I am into this rig for about 3k. Not too bad considering all things. One aside, I ran my hawkeye borescope down the pipe and was impressed. Of all the[I] factory[/I] metal I have purchased in the last 10 years the Sendero barrel has the fewest tooling marks I have seen. Lands are even and clean and it looks more like a custom pipe than a factory Rem barrel. It must have been made on Wed or Thursday using a new, sharp reamer. One wonders why Rem is discontinuing the Sendero line (so rumor has it, anyway). I will post range results and some boudoir photos of the new rig as soon as it quits raining and I can get to the range. [/QUOTE]
