Sendero Barrel

[coues7]

I'm going to have a custom rifle built and I went down and handled a few factory Remingtons to get a feel for barrels and weight. Is the Sendero SFII barrel just the varminter fluted? Lets talk new guns not the old such and such?

And I appreciate that and will happily provide you with some information.

From the Rock Creek website under "cut rifled". I suspect that this is the old Sendero not the SFII. You will notice that B is bigger for the Varmint and C is bigger for the Sendero.

So with my custom build....I'd like to stay light but have good accuracy out to at least 800 yards....will a fluted 5.5 or M24 fit the bill?
