Thread: Accumark, Sendero, Sako laminate

Do any of the members have these rifles and can offer any comparisions between them, Magnum caliber.
Accumark has a 26" and weighs 8.75lb, 1-9.5 twist
Sendero has a 26" barrel and weighs 8.5lb, 1-9.25 twist
Sako laminate weighs damn near as 8lb, has a 24&3/8" barrel, 1-9.5 twist
This is all from factory spec I've had Sako and MkV before but never the Sendero and none in magnum caliber, not much between them re factory spec, sako barrel a bit shorter,Sendero the cheapest, Accumark the most expensive.
Any opinions ?

Ive Had the Sendero in 7mmRUM, 338RUM, and 300 RUM,
I found that they where very solid accurate factory rifles, Changed all the stocks they seem a bit fat in the palm for my liking,
Not the lightest, sorry no help on the other to.

Sendero has a horrible palm swell and stock in general
Accumark - Tracy Short told me that "he usually has a whole room full of them that dont shoot" and in for fixing
Sako laminate - meh, would get the Finnlight personally

Had a accumark 300 weatherby mag with 6-20 conquest , wouldnt shoot well until maisey rebedded and lapped rings ,after that it was a 1/2 inch shooter. Had a factory sako 75 in 7mm stw, was a quality rifle wished I hadnt sold it!

Accumarks are good as a solid fill for pot holes.

sendero's bit heavy but plenty of options if you decide to customise later

SAko's best out of the box for what you have named. would def pay the little more and go finnlight.

I take it we are talking about 7mmRem mag.
Don't know about the Accumark.
I do know the Sakos are quite hit & miss regarding shooting the 162/180 accurately, could be the twist rate is right on the limit.
The mounting system for the scope is a bit average & $$$, IMHO.
I prefer rails, much more flexible even if a little high at times.
I have yet to come across a Sendero that didn't shoot stupid small groups.
The stocks are pretty heavy & are a love/hate thing. but being a 700 after market stocks aren't an issue & are cheap.
Same goes for pimping up gear, lightweight bits, rings etc, the world is your oyster.....

Get the Sendero & spend some $$ on it if required

Thanks all , yip Greg 7mm mag, just gathering info and wise opinions from those who know.
Have a 6.5 Finn and it is certainly a shooter.
Was comparing the Sako laminate as weight wise would be about the same, roughly, and don't want to brake the gun.
Accumarks don't seem popular, Weatherby claims though it is their best selling MK V.
