Hey guys-just wondering if anyone know what the differences might be between an older sendero vs a new one? noneck claims that the older ones are better than the new? just wondering if remmy is dooping todays consumer:confused:
 
Some people claim that Remington's quality control has fallen off lately,but I have had no issues with recent Senderos or with any other 700s.There may be slight differences,but the newer Senderos are not a whole lot different than the older ones.
 
The older Senderos are simply better rifles. Better fit and finish and better quality control. I'm a life-long Remington 700 fan, but I even have to admit that QC isn't the same.

The original Senderos had the unfluted chrome-moly black finished barrels in a really top-notch H.S. Precision kevlar/graphite stock finished in black with the gray spider-webbing.

I like my old Sendero much better than my new ones.

Just a caveat though, even though the newer 700s aren't quite up to the same level or QC as rifles made pre-mid/late1990s they still shoot extremely well. I've bought at least 7 700s in the past 7-8 years and even right out of the box all were at least MOA rifles. Trigger jobs and handloads significantly reduced those groups. Saw what you will, Remington seems to be turning out an excellent production barrel.
 
Remington made the Sendero, and the Sendero SF which was stainless and had a fluted barrel.

The current Sendero SFII is similar to the SF but has black teflon in the flutes, and a slightly different stock design.

Ive owned two Sendero SF's and they're accurate rifles. My current 7saum will shoot on average 4" group @ 400 yards with 160gr Accubonds, and I'm sure it can do better.
 
^ What X-man said.

I've got a 1996 issue .270Win and it's an extrememly accurate rifle, but needed the trigger tweaked.
That HS Precision stock has a full length aluminum bedding block too, I believe, which helps.

My rifle is very heavy... 12lbs, give or take, with scope, sling and bullets. It's not really the rig you want on all-day hikes; great for big cutblocks or fields.
