[QUOTE="mark scott, post: 1397274, member: 27462"] I agree with MudRunner on consideration of the Remington 700 5r. The 5r certainly deserves a look due to what you receive for your money. If you can live without the fluted barrel, you can get into a "military spec version" for a little more than you are paying for the Remington Long Range. The Second Generation version of the 5r is in the price range of the Sendero. The 5r will provide you with the 700 action, an HS Precision stock and military proven 5r rifling in the barrel. As with any Remington, a new trigger is a must. I've researched the 5r heavily and the reviews are very impressive, positive and worth noting. The 5r also comes in both 24" and military spec 26" barrels, depending on your application. All my "heavy barrels" are 26", so I'm leaning toward a 24" in 300 Win Mag to diversify. I hope to purchase one, soon. I have owned Sendero's, since they have been offered by Remington. I do love the Sendero's, but they have their place. As with any "heavy barrel", they gain weight rapidly as you add accessories/components. The HS stock on the Sendero is both rigid and strong, but does add it's share of the weight. I have countered the weight issue on one of my Sendero's by adding a Carbon Fiber stock, as an experiment. All of my rifles are used for hunting, so I'm constantly weighing out the components of each rifle in an effort to reduce weight. The action weight of an accurate rifle is difficult to change and often has to be accepted. The Remington Long Range rifles appear to be a good buy for the money. Cabela's places them on sale quite frequently. I have though about purchasing one in 300 Win Mag to see how they shoot. The heavy "slick" barrels don't bother me, too much.
