Beautiful rifle. But perfect hunting rifle? Not for me for multiple reasons.

First is the wood stock. Give me a good synthetic. Second is the cartridge. 7x57 is OK but not what I would choose. Third is my 'perfect' hunting rifle would be stainless.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
