I heard a rumor that remington is bringing the sendero back this year, is it true?

yes, + 264 Win Mag and -338 Ultra

Alright, glad to hear that. When will they be coming out and will they be offering the same calibers as the last line? Thanks

SM,

Calibers will be:
264WM
7mmRM
7mmRUM
300WM
300RUM

+ 264 Win Mag

Do you mean they are going to make the Sendero in 264 WM?

That would be a nice rig.

If we could just get them to ease up on the deep throats alittle.

Reloader

I may have to get a 264 win mag Sendero.I have twop Rugers in 264 love them.I like Senderos a good rifle for the money.I think Remington is missed the ball by bringing out the xcr rifles.If it had a good HS presion stock on it instead of the milk cartion stock they put on it.I have two big game rifle model 700s in 416 rem mag they shoot awesome.I think the 264 win mag was too far ahead of its time and needs a good long range rifle to bring it out to its fullest potiential.The 264 win mag with a 26" barrel in a sendero is going to be one awesome gun.We have awesome powders and bullets for the 264 today.I am glad to hear that one of the older classic calibers are coming out instead of the new calibers that might or might not last.They 264 win mag just needs a good rifle with all the new advances in reloading we have.

The Sendero is certainly a fine shooting rifle. I got mine in the not too popular 300 SAUM but is great for my midrange rifle. My next one will be a 375H&H for a big bore.

Darn, I was hoping they would bring back the 25-06 too. I just did some research on the 264 WM and it is starting to look like a better choice over the 25-06 for long range shooting. Thanks again guys.
Supermag

I have to say that I am with you guys on the .264 Win. Mag., I sure wish they would make the Sendero for a Lefty.

Dwight, wondering how your 300 saum sendero shoots for you?
I had to buy one of these too but havent got the work done to it that I want yet.A lot of these are being clearanced out and was too good of price to pass up.I think the saums got the short end of the stick...but hey,thats marketing

I could not ask for it to shoot better. I did glass the bed whether necessary or not. I do that on all my rifles. I reload so I can play around with loads but it shoots 165s and 180 really good with H 4350EXT and magnum primers. I put 30 rounds in a 1" group a few weeks ago playing with some 165s. I even put some 125 gr short stubby things in it and they shoot good. I did have to work on the magazine box a little. I noticed that it was about a 1/16 too high where the rounds feed. I pulled it out and filed it down and polished it. If you see some scratches on your brass then check the magazine box. That thing is a spring fit and real pain in the butt to put it back in so be patient.
I am glad that I have it. The 300WSM offers a 100fps more which has no value to me. I guess they see the popularity of the WSM so they aren't chambering both in the 700 now. From there perspective they are doing the most economical approach I guess.
BAck to your question. Senderos shoot really sweet.

WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT A Sendero in a 30-06. Makes no sense to me at all

I am curious as to why you think a Sendero 3006 makes no sense. If someone likes the rifle style and the caliber then it makes perfect sense.

Dwight,

I am sure POP can defend his position more than adequately on his own, but I reckon his line of thought goes something like this. If you are gonna shoot a rifle designed for accurate long-range shooting, perhaps a caliber appropriate for long-range shooting should be used. However, I suppose any caliber could suffice, just give it more clicks!

I wish they would chamber it in the 338 Win Mag. I'd buy one in a heartbeat..

I've wanted a 7mm Sendaro for years and for the life of me I don't understand the fondness for the 264WinMag when the 7mmRemMag is available...

If Remington wants something different, then use the 5R barrel, or chamber it in the 257 Roberts.

24" barrels, blued is fine, blued action and stainless barrel perhaps better.

I agree with a comment above. Enough with the long throats.

Why a 257Rob?

I completely agree on the short throats.

Hey, why not a 257Wby?

I'd also like to see a Sendaro Model in 338winMag....

there is one other thing I'd like to see in the Sendaro line... a Short throated 240WbyMag... and inexpensive Remington brass of course

I have a 25-06AI Sendero that is my favorite for Antelope & Deer from a Stand or Mule Deer as
well as longer range/windy day Varmits.
I also have a 300WM Sendero that shoots very well.
But, I have always wanted to try a 264 in a suitable platform & this is it. True, I have the
lower end & the upper end of a 264's use taken
care of allready, but I am planning on buying a
264 Sendero & with the new Swift Sc. or the
new Accubond when it comes out or a TSX, no
better Mule Deer/Antelope rifle in factory form exists.
The 7mm is great & better if you add Elk, but I have a better round for that, besides, I used 3
different 7 mags over a period of 8 years & I
was just ready to go on to something else.

I'd rather a 6.5 SAUM myself, or even a 6.5WSM in a 1:8.5 twist. That would be a fun sendero.

The 7mmRM will be available in the new Sendero. I plan on getting a .264WM. Someone else can get a 7mmRM. I shoot both the .264 and the 7mmRM. I like 'em both. Why does this bother some people, that some of us like to shoot the .264? I am always amazed any time a .264 thread gets started, the naysayers show up with all the negativity. We're all shooters here. As shooters, we ALL should be rejoicing that Remington saw fit to chamber the Sendero in an "obsolete" cartridge. Perhaps, some time Remington will see fit to chamber this rifle in the 257 Roberts, or maybe the 6.5 Swede, or whatever, and in 20", 22" and 24" bbls., besides the 26", and keep everybody happy! I don't think I would hold my breath tho! I think the .264WM is entirely appropriate in this rifle, and I WILL have one! I am happy for this gift from Remington! If any body cares, I wish they would run a few of the new SFII's off in the 7mmSTW, as well! Cheers everyone, remember this is all just for fun!

Mudstud, I agree with you. If Remington wants to chamber for 46 different chamberings, then that's ok by me. I just want them to do it right, and focus on quality.

Heck, if I had my true wish list come true, they would chamber it in the 9.3x62.

With Winchester out of the picture, this is a tremendous time for Remington to capture market share and gain strength. I hope they do it, and make many new and old customers happy.

How do you all know the sendero is coming back?

I would like to have a sendero in 25-06, or a better yet a 6.5/06. Both of those cartridges would do the sendero justice.

Well, if yoiur 6.5-06 was to be that would require remington to domesticate the cartridge
and I think everyone is a big gunshy (if you ignore the pun) about making new cartridge.


FWIW the Remingon Sendaro SF-2 is in the 2006 Remington catalog. the Available calibers are:
.264 Win. Mag.
7mm Rem. Mag.
7mm Rem. Ultra Mag.
.300 Win. Mag.
.300 Rem. Ultra Mag.
all are available only in Stainless with fluted 26" Barrels and come in the same H-S precision Kevlar/Fiberglass stock they were made with before, though it would have been nice if they'd added the Palmswell the 700VSSF-II got last year

they have an MSRP of $1128 which means they should be avilable retail for around $950 if past experience is any guide.

It'd be nice if there were 25-06 or 30-06 versions available, but the one I've always wanted was a 7mmMag and that was the one caliber that was certain to be available...

But remington shows them in the current catalog...

It's on their website

http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/centerfire_r...dero_SF_II_specs.asp

Only 5 chamberings though.

It's a pity that whoever did their web page can't spell....

LOL good eye! "Leathal"

Want to really have a laugh at their expense?

Look at the page for the Rem 700 CDL Limited
30-06 centenial.
Read the bottom of the description carefully and tell me what's wrong....

Hint: it's about their explanation of magazine capacity

BTW, while there were Sendero rifles on gun trader before, their prices have fallen.
Now that remington is making new Sendaro-2's
(with some minor upgrades like a second swivel stud for mounting a bipod) the $900 pricetags on the sendero1's have disappeared.

And BTW, I was wrong on a retail price of $900
dropped from the $1148MSRP, I've already seen a SD-2 offered for a BIN of $825

Like everyone else who's been waiting I'd like to see some other calibers... not necissarily the 25-06 270win and 30-06 either, but a 338WinMag might be nice

the only thing I see wrong with the Sendaro SF-2
is that Remington still isn't offering them with the R3 recoil pad.

BTW, I really like that CDL-limited centenial 30-06, I handled one saturday, but it's too pretty to take into the woods and get wet.

Retail asking price was $795, MSRP is only $892, so $100 less than that is about what I'd expect.

fluted sporter barrel, nice wood, factory R3 recoil pad...

It's a really sweet looking rifle, but like I said, too pretty to go out in the rain, sleet, snow, mud, dirt etc...

AllanD

Thanks Allan. That price is about what I expected. I do like the configuration of the CDL SF, thought I could do w/out the flutes. Am having a hard time telling myself I don't need one of them.

Wonder how "limited" they'll be? 500 pieces, 1000? Anyone know?

You hit the nail on the head. Factory senderos come with an Uncle Mikes pad that HS Precision ueses and its hard as a rock. If they made it with a R3/Limbsaver it would truly be awesome.

If it were a 1-of-1000 I woudn't have expected to see one so soon, and where I saw it...
In a stack of boxes in a hardware store leaning against other boxed rifles.

I think "limited" in this context means that they will only make them this year.

IOW it'll be like the "Liberty" model Rugers.

AllanD

I would love to have a 264 mag I always liked the round and have never had one. I will keep a space open for one in the collection.I'm a die hard remington 700 fan with more than a dozen 700's this is one I have to have.

Hoeram

I agree with POP in that the Sendero makes the most sense to me with a 26in barrel in a flat shooting magnum caliber. Mine is a 7mm Ultra Mag. However, for those wanting something else go for it. I'm just glad the Sendero is back and from what I see on Remington's site it is better than ever.

I`d like the CDL in .264 WM with 4.5-14 Ziess firing 100 Partitions at 3600+.

This is a little update on the sendero II in 264 Win Mag. I sent an email to Remington asking when we could expect to see the 264 Win Mag available at stores for purchase. They answered me today saying that the 264 will not be built and released until mid summer of this year.Just thought you guys might like to know who are looking to buy a 264.

Hoeram

Saw a new Sendero SFII this afternoon! It does have the palm swells and the dual front sling swivel studs like the VSSFII, and the striking two-tone flutes. It has grey webbing on the stock, unlike the VSSFII, which had green webbing last year, which I really liked. The rifle was a 7mmRM, I'm waiting on a .264. The price tag said $999.99.

I think the VSSF2 still has green webbing for 2006, but it's nice to know they added the palmswell and the bipod stud the the Sendaro
Non of the remington websites or the catalog pictures show the extra stud.

BTW, it kinda figuires that the 7mmRM is first.

Bets on what's available next? I'm thinking 300WinMag...
