Remington 700 possibly a SENDERO?

[bigBolin51]

I recently purchased a Remington 700. I'm unsure which model it is tho and was hoping for some help. It is a 300 win mag, 26 heavy barrel, blued/blued, jeweled bolt, and has the J-lock, and has a gray/black stock that looks like an HS Precision. It looks like an older sendero maybe, but at the price I paid don't really want to get my hopes up. It doesn't have SENDERO stamped anywhere on it. Any body have any idea what model it is?

Sounds like a 700 Police

They aren't blued or have jeweled bolts.

It won't be stamped Sendero...post some pics.

I don't know about the blued or not. Mine are not stamped with Sendero....just the cartridge (barrel) and normal 700 stuff on receiver. I only have two and they are both stainless 7STW, 300WM from the 90's. Having the lawyer lock means it's not that old.....in my old world anyway.

I meant the Police version isn't blued. They are parkerized.

The older sendero's are blued and have jeweled bolts.

Sounds like you found a first gen sendero, replace the trigger touch up the bedding and your set.

I'm gonna try to post pics here in a bit. I snagged it for 500 bucks with a custom rifle case. I thought it was a rem 700 long range until I seen the jeweled bolt. I don't think the guy realized what he had

Sounds like an early Sendero first generation.
I had a first gen Sendero in 300WM, a VSF in 22-250 and an early VSF Laminate in 220 Swift…..stupidly, I sold them all to the same guy for a bomb.
The 22-250 was an absolute tack driver and the 220 Swift wasn't far behind.

Cheers.

The price is the give away, if 600.00 it is most likely a Long Range and 900 to 1000 it is then most likely a sendero. My guess is a Long Range with the blued barrel. Still a fine rifle.

The long range sometimes came with jeweled bolt depending on year of manufacture.

I don't think they made the long range in the years they made the J Lock guns though

Terrible rifle, I will help you out and take it off your hands before you find out how great the old ones shot. Oops!
