[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 528949, member: 12995"] I know it's worth it. It's in excellent shape as far as stock, action, etc...But it's just hard to pay $660 for a used Sendero when I bought mine new back in '03 for like $675 + tax, when I worked in the outdoors store...Then again, that was also only cost + 10% (employee pricing). Plus there's a few things that have me worried...The safety thumb switch is a little loose feeling, and the trigger has a little side-to-side play... The trigger doesn't bother me so much, since I just checked it on my brand-new 700 5R .308, and it seems to have a little side-to-side play as well. And it needs a new recoil pad, just looks like it has been well carried. Apparantly the guy who owned it before took it to Africa several times, and it's taken several plains game. So, I'm sure it was professionally worked and accurized. But the loose safety switch has me a bit worried. I just don't want to get too deep into a wore-out rifle, that I'll have to spend lots of money on before I can really get out there & shoot it. [/QUOTE]
