Default Tikka T3 Lite or Hunter ques

Looking for opinions on this rifle. I am currently looking to add another hunting rifle in 30.06 or 308. also looking at a howa for a second option.

My question is, i am not sure how much lighter the T3 lite is over the Hunter model. I am not too recoil sensitive but i do want something that is just not obnoxios to shoot. I currently have a 30.06 M70 with a nice recoil pad and it works well for recoil. But its a HEAVY gun to carry all day and may sell it for a Tikka. I am pretty much set on a .30 cal bullet as i already have a savage 7mm-08. the new rifle would be for bigger game thus the 30.06 or 308. Also due to ammo being available where i hunt.

Any opinions on either of these Tikka models (real world experience) about these calibers using the hunter or the lite?
