[QUOTE="osok-1k, post: 1924211, member: 106259"] I think it all depends on what you like and are willing to pay for. LR Remington's are not polished fluted or any of the nicer looking finish work that takes time and money plus the less expensive stock. If however you want and accurate hunting / bang it around in the woods or on a mountain, pretty is a distraction. I wouldn't carry a $3,000.00 Wilson 1911 on duty, if I get into a scrape with someone my focus does not need to be on protecting my pretty gun from getting scratched and dinged but my Glock, it doesn't matter if it gets a little road rash as it will sand right out and work just fine. No emotional loss. As much as I love the fine work of older Weatherby MKV high grade rifles or Colt Sauer's, I'm not taking one into an environment that will damage it. Point is that all of the LR rifles I have shot and sold shoot pretty good, I would definitely replace the trigger and verify contact areas especially the tang where good contact isn't always there so some bedding may be in order. My hunting buddies LR 30-06 shoot .5 groups at 100 and that's good enough in any hunting scenario. None of my opinion of the LR demeans the Sendero, it's just what means more to each individual. I would spend the extra $600.00 on better glass. [/QUOTE]
