Remington Sendero SFII vs. Weatherby Mark V Weathermark

[CofC Waterfowler]

I have the option of purchasing a Remington Sendero SFII or a Weatherby Mark V Weathermark for the same price. 7 mag caliber. What says the group on the better purchase? The Sendero would be slightly used with light handling marks. The Weatherby would be new.

One maybe 7mmRemMag the weatherby being a markV is more than
likely a WTHBYMag
Ammo more readily avail for the rem mag if that makes any difference

Depends. Older Rems were awesome, Cerebus bought them and quality went to crap. That’s pretty well documented and fact. Weatherby made some great rifles but through the late 90’s and on a lot of the Weatherbys were actually rebadged Howa’s, not a bad gun just cheaper made. Look at the bolt face, if it has two locking lugs like the Remington 700 it’s probably a dressed up Howa.

My 2 cents say Remington.

I picked up a Remington Sendero 7mm from Dhall on here last year. It does great on paper, I put down a moose with one shot, and a whitetail as well. Only small complaint I have is it's on the heavier side if you plan on walking around all day, but it's not terrible.

If it’s a Mark V it’s a damn fine action. The Vanguard was the Weatherby version of the Howa 1500 actions, owned one in .300wby and it was terrible. As to being a 7mmWby, they chamber them in standard cartridges too.

It' a Mark V not a vanguard. I agree the Sendero is heavy. I don't walk far to the stand and figured it would cut down on recoil. I don't have an urge to go hiking over mountain tops chasing goats at this time.

7mmRM doesn’t have bad recoil with a well designed stock. I have 3 of them, the Parker-Hale and Sako are easy to shoot, the No.1 will knock your dick into your watch pocket if you don’t have it into your shoulder.

Then the Sendero is your Huckleberry

I would buy both, especially if one was a rem mag and the other a weatherby mag and the price was right.

[tman]

Buy the sendero. That's your shooter.

Bergara B-14 in 7MM at Sportsmans warehouse on sale for $679 last Saturday.

And what's so terrible about the Howa 1500? I've got one in .243 that is an absolute tack driver. It's funny though b/c its in a green Hogue over molded stock and when hunting with a buddy this year he thought it was a Mark V Weatherby b/c it looked almost identical to his 260 Weatherby.

Howa is a good gun.

My buddy has the Mark V Accumark, and just got a Vanguard (I think the model is called "First Light"). There is a very noticeable difference in the quality between the two. I'm not saying they don't shoot ok, but there is a reason they are 1/2 the price of the Mark V

[CofC Waterfowler]

I pulled the trigger on the Sendero.

[nitro5x6's]

Great choice.

You’ll like it. Best rifle I’ve ever owned.
