If you had your choice of a 7-08 or 7 SAUM nib Gen 1 Ti which would you take for a sheep rifle to be used in British Columbia?

Does the SAUM weigh a 1/4 # more than the 7-08?

How bad is the recoil on the 7 SAUM? (I find my 6-3/4# Model Seven in .260 to be fine with 130 gr bullets at 2,800 fps as the Kevlar stock seems to absorb alot of the recoil. I never like getting abused. My old 12 gauge 870 short barreled slug gun beat me when I sighted it in years ago! So did my S&W 329 .44 magnum.

Thanks for this additional insite. My buddy has both rifles and I probably can talk him out of one, as neither are in use.
