Butch, only you know what your recoil tolerance is! If you’re not gonna pack it in the mountains then it’ll be fine. The older I get the more I prefer lighter rifles, darn mountains just seem to get steeper with each passing season!
I reckon you pack it a lot more than you shoot it.
But, I don’t like really light rifles, especially chambered in serious rounds.
Good bud and very successful hunter loves the Sendero. I asked him why he used such heavy rifles. His comment, “I know what it’ll do when I get it there”. That includes about everything from WT’s and pronghorns to PG in Africa. Works for him and he’s no youngster. His two fav are .270 and 7RM.
