I had one of the #1 7mm Mags with the heavy varmint barrel ( 1V ) in a 200th year. Took my first deer in Snowville, VA with it. Heavy sucker. Traded it for a Sako .222 mag varmint rifle ( which I still have ). Had a #1A in .223 that was "uncommon". Got talked out of it by a buddy with too much money. Miss them both.
