Picked this up yesterday in Junction. I need another 270 like a hole in the head but couldn't pass the price. R700 Sendero Special with a Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x50. I've wanted a Sendero for as long as I can remember.

Those Sendero rifles are great shooters. I had one in 7 mag when they originally came out with them. It was a tack driver, I just got tired of lugging the heavy SOB around.

That ain't no lie. I spend countless hours in the stand and glassing these hills and the biggest rub I've ever seen is 75 yards from the front door.

Great shooting rifles. I have one in 7Mag that I've owned for 15+ years.

I’ve had one just like it for 25 years. It shoots one hole groups at 100 yards. It’s totally unfair for whitetail. I really have to have “blood in my eye” to uncase it. Enjoy!

I have a Buddy that has one in 7 mag. I made some hand loads for so I shot it quite a bit. Definitely a sweet shooter.

Too dang heavy for me. A few years ago I got a Remington CDL SF in 300WM. This year I put a McMillan stock on it. Absolutely fantastic to shoot and hunt with. I do nothing but spot n stalk in the Plains and out west. If you're stand hunting those heavy guns are great.

I walked a few miles carrying mine last weekend with a 40 pound kid on my shoulders and everything required to keep a 3 year old content in a deer blind plus 1/2 a bucket of corn on top of it. It aint so bad carrying one.
