Remington Sendero .300 Winchester Magnum
Sendero 300 WinMag - Click for larger image

This has been my primary long range rifle since 1996. That year I traded in my Winchester Model 70 Sporter LT .300 WinMag and moved up to the Sendero for a serious tack-driver. I was planning to be shooting targets at tactical ranges more than hunting, so it was a perfect fit. I installed a Leupold Tactical 4.5 x 14 power MilDot scope with Leupold rings and bases. It has a Harris bipod and a Turner Military Sling, and an Eagle Industries suede leather cheekpiece. You'll notice the rubber bands on the bipod, which serve to quiet the springs when deploying the bipod legs and can be used to attach natural camouflage in the field.

I had Matt at Matt's 10X do a trigger job on the rifle, set to a very crisp 4.2 pounds.

The 26" heavy-profile barrel sports a spherical concave muzzle crown. The HS Precision Kevlar aramid fiber and graphite composite synthetic stock houses a full-length aluminum bedding block that leaves the barrel completely free-floating.

The preferred ammunition in this rifle is Federal Premium 200-grain Sierra Game King Boattails, which deliver sub minute of angle performance. It will hold groups inside a tennis ball out to 350 yards. The furthest I have fired it successfully is 1100 yards, from one clearcut to another at a section of plywood I set up. It held all ten shots in a 4-foot group, strung horizontally from the slight wind that day.

I have taken three whitetails with it, one at 225 yards, one at 250 yards, and my 2003 buck at 450 yards. All three bucks literally dropped in their tracks with a proper shot placement.

Caliber: .300 Win. Mag.
Barrel Length: 26"

Overall Length: 46 5/8"
