[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 984059, member: 12995"] [b]Re: Which new rifle? POLL Browning L.R. Hunter[/b] Both the Sendero SFII and 5R MilSpec use the same HS Precision stocks. The only difference is, the Sendero is black w/ gray web finish, and the 5R is green w/ black web. The colors of the stock are the only difference. Now, the Sendero is a 26" standard 6-groove rifled barrel, and the 5R is a (up to) 26" 5R rifled barrel. Personally, my Sendero barrels all clean up just as nice as my 5R barrel, however, the 5R barrel is so smooth when running a patch and brush down the bore. You just have to clean one side-by-side to see what I mean. It barely holds any copper fouling, and takes no time to clean up. Don't get me wrong, the Sendero barrels are finished-out very nicely and lapped smooth, and are very nice as well. You cannot go wrong with either one. In my opinion and after over a decade of owning Senderos, I can tell you that if Remington would use stainless-fluted 5R barresl in their Senderos, those guns would be unstoppable, and would be the #1 out of the box rifle ever manufactured. I would say 50-100 shots to work up a really good load, honestly, unless you just luck-out and happen to nail it in the first 20-50.
