    Scoping a Remington Sendero

    Well the scope has been in the safe a few years but was working perfect when it was removed. I'm sure I will be the limiting factor in the equation. I guess my hope is the older scope will buy some time....kind of give me time to get used to the rifle while saving for a better scope.

    Scoping a Remington Sendero

    Recently picked up a very lightly used Remington 700 Sendero(1996 model) in 7mm RM. I have a spare Leupold Vari-Xiic 3-9x40 sitting in the safe. Shots will be paper out to 500 yards and game will be deer and black bear out to 500 but mostly 350 and in. Obviously I plan to save money towards a...

    What's wrong with remington?

    I bought my last new 700 (a SPS) a few weeks back and this is what the bolt looked like(and no, this rifle was never fired by me). Completely unacceptable for a new rifle. In addition this rifle went through the factory twice as Remington completed the trigger recall. I should have paid...

    Which .270 hunting rifle and scope

    I'll throw out another vote for the Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather. I have one in 270 and it's a pleasure to hunt with and shoot. I have mine topped off with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 in DNZ mounts. Here are a couple pics: Here is a pic with some Federal Power Shok's and my attempt at...

    Rem 700/Model Seven vs. Ruger M77

    I prefer the Remington 700 over the Ruger. I had a M77 All Weather in 30-06 with the boat paddle stock a few years back. It was a tough rifle but accuracy was only fair. Got a late 90's model Remington 700 in 7mm RM that has turned out to be a really accurate rifle. Recently purchased a...

    Rem 700 Issue...Photo Attached

    Took it in to the dealer this morning and they were as surprised as I was. Under a bright light and magnifying glass there is certainly a crack. Gave me the option of sending it back to Remington for me or swapping it out. I chose the latter option and walked out with a new 308. Can't argue...

    Rem 700 Issue...Photo Attached

    Brand new 700 SPS recently purchased. Had it out last night to clean the rifle up and to see how it shot. Noticed what appeared to be a gouge on the edge of the bolt when I started to clean it. Now after looking at the pic I took it looks to me like it is cracked. What do you think? About the 10...

    Which .270 should I buy?

    The only .270 I have left in the stable is a Winchester M70 Extreme Weather with a Zeiss Conquest mounted in DNZ's. Has proven to be a very accurate and reliable rig. I have owned a few other 270's but this one is my favorite. Hard to go wrong with any of the rifles suggested. Going to boil...

    Remington Recall- YUK!!!

    Original by jmr40: Actually, if you take your 700 to a Remington authorized repair center they replace the trigger. Friend of mine just took 3 of his 700's to a place in Randleman, NC and had them replaced while he watched. The old triggers were removed and new ones installed free of charge...

    Ruger SR1911, Springfield Armory Loaded

    I'm no 1911 expert myself but my full size SR has ran perfect thus far with everything I've thrown down the tube. I have less than $600 in the pistol and am very happy with it.

    Remington 700 Value??

    originally posted by: Kp321 Found out a little more about the rifle tonight. It has a serial # prefix of "E" and does not have the j-lock. Still have not pulled the trigger on the rifle yet as I have been busy the last few weeks. I did pick up a new VX-3, 3.5-10 to go on this rifle, so...

    Remington 700 Value??

    Thanks for the heads up. I will check that out. He told me I could come shoot it anytime, so I can get a good idea of what it will do.

    Remington 700 Value??

    Another idea that is running through my head is to get it and shoot/hunt with it like it is for now. As time and funds permit I could buy an aftermarket barrel and synthetic stock and build a better rifle.

    Remington 700 Value??

    I was offered the rifle and ammo for $450....could probably talk down to 400-425. I have compared this particular rifle to the current SPS and it seems a bit different. To me the fit and finish looks much better than the current SPS offerings from Remington. First off is the finish...on this...

    Remington 700 Value??

    Honestly the Simmons scope would probably be removed and replaced with a VX3 or Conquest.

    Remington 700 Value??

    I have found a Remington 700 in 7mm Remington Mag that I'm considering buying. It has a synthetic stock with a blind magazine box, barrel & receiver is matte finish with sights(maybe 26" barrel?), has a hard rubber recoil pad, and comes with a Simmons Aetec scope. It will also come with 140...

    Picked up a new Kahr CM9

    I really like my CM9 and it has fired 100% of the time. However, it did have to go back to Kahr because it was breaking the magazine followers under recoil. Kahr shortened the feed ramp just a bit and it is good to go now. Just keep an eye out as mine did not do this until it was broken in.

    Recoil of 1911 vs. polymer .45s

    I agree with the earlier poster who stated the wide grip of the Glock helps spread the felt recoil out. When shooting hot loads out of the Glock 30, 30 SF, 30S, and Gen 4 Glock 30 I find the the trigger starts to sting my finger a little bit. I don't notice this with my full size Ruger SR1911.

    What is your favorite model of glock

    Glock 30S and Glock 17 are my favorites but my 27 that I carry most often is fun as well.

    Kahr CM9 nightmare!

    I have a Kahr CS success story I'd like to share. I had to send my CM9 back to Kahr for the broken follower issue myself. Kahr sent a prepaid overnight FedEx shipping label to my email and all I had to do was box it up and take it to FedEx. I called CS and asked about the status of my...
