Deer Rifle Final opinion wanted

Darrell2k3
My picks have broadened some so here goes: Remington 700 BDL SS or Sendero SS, Tikka T3 Lite SS, or a Browning A-Bolt SS stalker. These are the only choices I am considering so please don't add any others. The caliber, 7mm Rem Mag. I want to use it for deer, coyotes, + to pack around for hogs sometimes, so it needs to be able to take a little abuse.

    If you are going to mount a scope on it, I'd go with the Browning because of the short bolt throw.

    All are good choices but I would go Tikka. The accuracy is guaranteed and it is a nice rifle. Bottom line is which one do you want.

    If you want to save the coyote hides you may want to go to a smaller caliber. If not then the 7mm is a great choice.

    Which ever way you choose, enjoy your new rifle.[8D]

    A-bolt
    The 7mag may be a little much
    (I'd go w/.270 myself),but if
    your comfortable with it,then
    go for it.

    depends on how much your gonna pack it around and how you equip it...doubt you need the sendero for the applications you describe...understand browning has had some issues with brittle barrels , but no personal experience...since you are wanting the 7mm mag. i am assuming you will have the need for some long range shooting...i love 700 remingtons and love long range..I started out with a 700ss dm ( about 7.25#'s ) and upgraded the stock to an hs presicion ( add alittle more ) then stuck on a 4.5x14 x40 and had to use extension rings for eye relief (it keeps coming) then you load the magazine and put on your sling...found out I couldnt hold steady enough to hit a 500yard coyote so i had to add a bipod, and the biggest one at that to use in a shooting position in the grass...so, how are you gonna use it and how far are you gonna pack it and how much water and food do you carry along with your binos and knives etc...the tikka may be a better choice when it is all said and done as it starts out lighter and with the mounting system you can get all the eye relief you need from any make of scope ...i am still not happy with my eye releif so I have sunk another $800 in an lps and added an additional half pound ! the next time I go into the field I will bring my kid along to carry the gun in exchange food and shelter !
