Remington 700 Sendero Vortex Package Used .300 RUM

Description

Picture this: you’re glassing a ridgeline a solid 800 yards out, the wind is a factor, and you need a single, precise shot. You’re not looking for a plinker or a close-quarters tool. You need a dedicated, long-range system that’s ready to perform without breaking the bank on a custom build. That’s the exact scenario where a used, high-quality package like this makes perfect financial sense.

The Remington 700 Sendero Vortex Package Used .300 RUM, 26″ Barrel, Vortex 6-24×50 VHS Scope, Black is a pre-owned, long-range hunting and target rifle package. It combines a heavy-barreled Remington 700 Sendero action chambered in the potent .300 Remington Ultra Mag cartridge with a Vortex 6-24×50 VHS riflescope, offering a complete, capable long-range setup for a fraction of the cost of buying new components separately.

Let’s talk value. A new Remington 700 Sendero SF II in .300 RUM could easily run you $1500+ before optics. A Vortex Viper PST Gen II 6-24×50 scope adds another $900-$1100. Mounts and rings? Another $100-$200. Suddenly you’re pushing $2700+ for a new setup. Here, you’re getting a proven, ready-to-shoot package for $2631.06. That’s the definition of bang-for-your-buck—you’re paying for a slightly used rifle to get a top-tier scope essentially at a major discount. The 26-inch heavy-contour barrel is a key feature, providing the stiffness needed for consistent accuracy and helping to manage the substantial recoil of the .300 RUM cartridge. It’s a setup that fits out of the box, requiring no immediate gunsmithing or additional purchases to be range-ready.

The Vortex 6-24×50 VHS scope is the workhorse of this deal. With its 30mm tube, fully multi-coated lenses, and exposed tactical-style turrets, it’s built for dialing in corrections at extreme distances. The high magnification range is perfectly matched to the .300 RUM’s flat-shooting capability, allowing you to spot your own shots on paper or make precise ethical shots on game at ranges where other cartridges fall short. The package ships to Missouri and compliant US states, making it accessible for serious shooters looking to maximize their long-range dollar.

Pros: The primary advantage is immense value—a premium rifle and scope combo for less than the cost of its new parts. The .300 RUM offers exceptional long-range ballistics, making it viable for the largest North American game or extreme-distance target shooting. The heavy barrel aids accuracy and reduces felt recoil, while the included Vortex scope is a legitimate piece of kit, not a bargain-bin add-on.

Cons: The .300 RUM is notoriously expensive to feed, with factory ammo often costing $5-$7 per round. Recoil is significant, demanding good technique and potentially a muzzle brake for extended range sessions. As a used firearm, it may show minor cosmetic wear, though that’s the trade-off for the price point. Its weight, often over 9.5 lbs unscoped, makes it a dedicated prone or bench rifle, not a lightweight mountain gun.

So who is this for? It’s for the budget-conscious long-range enthusiast who understands cartridge performance and wants a turn-key system. It’s for the hunter pursuing elk, moose, or bear in open country where shots can stretch out. It’s also for the precision shooter who wants to reach beyond 1000 yards without the $5000+ entry fee of a custom rifle, accepting the ammo cost as part of the long-range game. This rifle is compatible with standard Remington 700 scope bases and triggers, allowing for easy future upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the condition of this used package?

A: As a used item, it is sold in “as-is” condition, typically indicating functional and cosmetic wear consistent with previous ownership. It is inspected for basic function, but a detailed inspection upon receipt is always recommended. Remember, FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.

Q: Is the .300 RUM suitable for a beginner?

A: Honestly, no. The substantial recoil and high ammunition cost make it a poor choice for a first rifle. It’s a specialized tool for experienced shooters who need its long-range, high-energy performance and can manage its practical tradeoffs.

Q: Can the scope be mounted on other rifles?

A: Absolutely. The Vortex VHS scope uses standard 30mm rings. If you later decide to build a different precision rifle, the scope can be easily remounted, protecting your investment in quality optics.
