What cartridge? If you're wanting a .300WM, then I'd go with a 5R Milspec over both of them. I love Senderos, and own quite a few in my collection, don't own a 700 Long Range, but not because of the rifles, just because I haven't bought a new rifle since they released them (I know, I know... I'm slacking. 
), but I was unemployed for a year, up until about a month ago, when I finally found a new job in my area, and all my monetary resources have been completely drained. So, once they start to replenish, I can start buying/building more guns again.
The 5R Milspec is basically a the Sendero SF without a fluted barrel, but has a M24 5R rifled barrel (better rifling design), that has been turned-down to the Varmint/Sendero contour.

Both shoot awesome , but the long range does it at half the price.
Mud Runner I'm thinking 7RM as that is my favorite Round. Currently I have 2 7RM in Sako and TC venture. But both are light weight and 10 twist so shooting the newer long heavy bullets is very marginal. Thinking I can trade both in or sale and get one of these that's heavier and better twist rate. Thing is don't want it to heavy and the Long range is getting close to that, leaning Sendero, but hate the fact I need to replace the trigger right off the bat.
I love the TC but hate the stock and there is no after market one out there but boyds wood stocks.

I would get the 700 long range, they make it in a stainless version that you can get on sale at sportsman's for $699, and $400 saved over a sendero goes a long ways. I have done load development for 2 different stainless 700 long ranges, both shot very good. One is shooting 180 bergers @2990 into .5 MOA, the other is shooting 168 Bergers @ 3035 into .3 MOA.
On both, I bedded them and properly torqued the action screws before shooting them, and that's it. They have both shot great, and way cheaper than the Sendero. You just don't have barrel flutes.

So here are some pics. The 70.2 is H1000 under a 180 Berger going 2990, the other cloverleaf is H4831sc under a 168 Berger going 3035, and then my cousins rifle. He has a vortex HST 6-24 on order, just waiting for it to ship directly from factory. Until then, it's a 4-14 leupold for load development.

For the last few years they were only sold at sportsman's warehouse exclusively, but I see they list it on their site now, so they may be opening it up to other retailers.
