I bought a stock Ruger Hawkeye chambered 7mm Rem Mag a few years ago along with some Federal 150 gr blue box ammo. Ran it to 500 yards and the combo stayed in about 6". No need to lug a Sendero in elk country.
lf the cartridge was a lemon l would not have owned 15-20 of them ( there's three here now and l have lost count).It's perfectly suited to any open country elk hunting. I'd get a rem 700, Ruger, or Win M70.
