Sendero all the way. If you have a comfortable way to carry it to the box blind, no worries. When you are in the blind it doesn't matter what it weighs, in fact the weight will help steady the rifle.I've debated keeping the 7mm STW Sendero in the safe and getting a 7mm Mag Tikka for hunting. What do y'all think? Sendero or Tikka for hunting out of box blinds over bean fields? The 7mm STW is super impressive but the Sendero is bulky.
I have a Tikka T3 SS Lite in .270, and I use it as my mountain rifle over my Rem 700 7mag. I have killed whitetail and elk with it. Shoots very flat and reaches out to 500 easily. Friends who have had Tikkas in magnum calibers say they really kick.I've debated keeping the 7mm STW Sendero in the safe and getting a 7mm Mag Tikka for hunting. What do y'all think?

Welcome to LRH. Have your shot it yet? I don't see any mention of how it performs. Nice setup though.
