I have had both and am basicly a 7mm fan.I was just wondering how you guy's felt.I usually go for oddball stuff just for the sake of being different.so I will probally go with the 7 STW looks like I will end up having one built.depending on what kind of donor actions or might loose it and get a dakota andmaybe somewhere around a 28" or 30" tube.Don't know why got a winnie 7 rem. mag. that is probally one of if not my most accurate rifle.Go figure.
