You want to make sure the receiver says "Magnum" on it if you plan to shoot the 7mm Mag barrel (which I do NOT recommend, due to weight). Some of the Aristocrats had really nice wood. If this one is a double trigger model, I suspect its an Aristocrat. Also the forearm will have a lever instead of the flat head screw that the hunter models have.
I always thought this was one of the most handsome rifles and have owned a few over the years but have never had one that just shot lights out. It could be the shooter and not the gun though...


There are 2 rules to success:

1. Never tell everything that you know.
