Mr.G:

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.

Built on the famous Model 700™ 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.
