So tell me how they actually shoot. What is the difference between the I and II?

[Carpmaster]

My buddy had one and it was a tackdriver but VERY heavy!

The I has a black non-fluted bull barrel, and the II has a stainless fluted bull barrel. I think the stocks are a little different too. They are also available in different calibers, the II in the new one.

The Stock and fluted barrel are the difference. I think theII comes with the xmark pro trigger. The 1 I had shot lights out they are accurate but not suited to the way I hunt whitetail(I walk a lot).

Main difference is the stock. The Original sendero came with a HS Precision kevlar/composite stock. It came in either black or stainless and fluted/non-fluted. The new sendero is the same thing w/o the HS Precision stock. The current stock is made by remington and the main gripe I have - along with many other people i know - with the gun as well as many othersis the great swell of the "palm" area of the pistol grip. I am positive the new ones shoot as well as the old ones, but I just can't get aroung the increased size in that area of the stock. Tried talkin myself into one the last rifle I bought but just couldnt do it.

From Remington's website regarding the M700 Sendero SF II:

(http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/centerfire_rifles/model_700/model_700_sendero_SF_II.asp)

Built on the famous Model 700â„¢ cylindrical action, Remington Sendero rifles are the most accurate rifles we produce for over-the-counter sale. You"™ll be stunned by the degree of precision you get straight out of the box. The varmints won"™t be so lucky.

The Model 700 Sendero SF II are finely tuned tack-drivers created using input from serious shooters across America. The H.S. Precision composite stock is reinforced with aramid fibers and features contoured beavertail fore-end with ambidextrous finger grooves and palm swell. Twin front swivel studs accommodate a sling and a bipod. Full-length aluminum bedding blocks create accuracy-enhancing platforms for the barreled actions. The 26" heavy-contour barrels are fluted for rapid cooling.

I guess not. I really like the new fluted barrel with the blackened flutes. I've seen Weatherby Mk V's with similar fluted barrels and I thing that it looks really sharp. I wonder if the barrels are made in house or farmed out, and if so, who makes them.
