[QUOTE="Wallowa Hunter, post: 165212, member: 1177"] I just bought a Remington Sendero II in 300 Ultra Mag. I paid $979 for it. I know it was a bit high compared to some interenet prices but it was in my local shop kinda out here in th emiddle of nowhere.... I can tell you this....Remington is going downhill. The trigger pull was at 7.9 pounds! The flutes on the barrel were actually sharp enough to cut your skin if you held the rifle by the barrel and let the weight of it slide downward thru your hands. The rear reciever screw was sticking up about .080 of an inch, and actually had a sharp burr on it. The Sendero II has a polished stainless finish. Right in the middle of the stamping "Remington" it looked as if some slipped and messed up the finish in a spot about 3/8'' of an inch wide. Overall I am not impressed. For a $1000 rifle I expected more. I dont mind tinkering with things, so I fixed all the problems myself. I deburred all of the flutes, worked over the trigger. Trimmed and deburred the rear screw and stripped the whole thing down and gave it a good glass beading. So now it looks like the original Senderos........Back when they made decent guns! I feel like I should send Remington the bill for finishing their shoddy work.... [/QUOTE]
