RE: which 7MM Rem Mag
I think it'd depend on what kind of huntingyou intend the rifle to be used for.
If you don't ever intend to walk any distances with that rifle, the Sendero II would probably be fine. However, if you think you might one day venture after elk, moose, etc. over mountains, through muskeg, you're absolutely going to hate the extra pound that rifle will weigh, not to mention the optics (just guessing that a plain-old 3-9x isn't going to do for you?). Not to mention an additional four inches (over the .30-06 M700)or two inches (for the 7mm Mag M700) of barrel you're going to be snagging on tree limbs.
For general, all-around hunting, I'd easily pick the CDL. From my experience, the Senderos are singular in purpose: a position rifle, rather than a walkaround rifle.
