The Remington Vs Winchester

[Ruger007]

I know the old Remington Vs Winchester debate. But i am looking at 2 rifles and can't make up my mind.

One is a Remington Sendero
The other is a Winchester Extreme.
I have held both guns and they feel good.
Both in 264win mag.

I already have a blued Hawkeye Ruger in 264 but would like SS due to the amount of rain we get here during hunting season.

Thanks

the Winny

I have both guns, and I have to say, get the Winny. A heck of a lot lighter too. Depends I guess on if you shoot stationary or do lots of walking. From a blind, the Remington would do, but I wouldn't want to carry mine too far. The Winchester EW feels like a bag of feathers on my back in comparison.

Another Winny vote

Winchester, hands down. Love my EW. Most consistent shooter I own.

Remington 700 Sendero and it will slow you down humping the rifle and scope combo up those steep slash cuts.

Depends how you plan on hunting. I personally prefer the look of the Sendero with the blackened flutes, and I like HS Precision stocks better than B&C, but it's over 1 lb heavier so unless you're doing mainly bench/stand/blind shooting with minimal walking, I'd have to go for the Winchester, or find a Remington CDL SF and buy a McMillan stock.

Good Ole` Winchester.

You can never have too many Winchesters.

The M70EW is one of the best off the shelf all around hunting rifles made by a major company. It's a great rifle for BC hunting.

The Remington is a Far SUPREME rifle - Anyone With any rifle SAVY would agree ! RJ

Another vote for the EW m70 in .264 win, really like mine, currently loading up sum 130gr accubonds under reloader 33 to test, as New Zealand roar, (red deer rut) plans are on hold, due to tropical cyclone Debbie, dumping 200-300mm of rain in the hills, all rivers in major flood, so fiddling with rifle loads, on 7x57 and .264 both m70's, hopefully can get in for Friday or sat.

I've never held the Sendero - but why would I, I own Winchesters...

 

[woodlotowner]

Win for the win.

 

[bunny]

Or buy a Howa, less money and a better rifle than the others.

 

[hoytcanon]

70 over 700... 77 over both...

I've got many of both Remingtons and Winchesters. Sendero for shooting, Winchester for hunting.

This sums it up quite succinctly. For packing around, particularly in steep terrain, The Winchester will feel a LOT lighter at the end of the day. Dave.
