I'm surprised at the "form follows function, and an accurate, reliable rifle is as pretty as it gets"
That old M70 I posted? It's as reliable as a rifle gets, and it will cloverleaf 150TSX's on the 100 yard target at 3000fps.
Stainless and fiberglass can be reliable and accurate, but so can walnut and blued. Just because you don't want to beat it around doesn't mean it won't take it.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
