Bought my first 7mag in Lubbock, TX in 1979, a Ruger M77. I left the gun shop that day with the rifle, a Leupold Vari X II, a couple boxes of 160 partitions, and a Lee handloading kit that cost $20. I replaced that rifle in 1998 with a Tikka 695 Whitetail that came with OptiLock mounts for $425. I've lost count of the animals I killed with the great 7mag/partitions/accubonds, and it's followed me to several US states, MX, and Africa. I still use it every year, but not as much as I used to.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
