Dunno about perfect, but it REALLY doesn't suck!

All that matters is that it is perfect for you. A blued and wood stocked rifle wouldn't be perfect for my needs but to each his own.

"Perfect". Is in the eye of the beholder but that one would be hard to argue against.

She’s a beauty! Almost too pretty to hunt with. I’d go 2-10
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I have the same rifle in the same cartridge. It has Talley lows and a Meopta 6x42.

Don't know if perfection exists in a firearm, but you had me at Featherweight...though I prefer CRF. Beauty. Enjoy.

I'd take the Ti 7-08 off your hands.

Wrong caliber, wrong finish, wrong maker and wrong stock material. So no it’s not perfect for me. Don’t really matter what i think though. Sounds like it’s perfect for you.
You ain't about that life.

The Model 70 is a great rifle for sure.

I always thought this one might be perfect. Not the prettiest but gets the job done. Steyr M Professional .30-06

I'd take the Ti 7-08 off your hands. I used to think it was damn near perfect, it has a Vari-X III 2.5-8x36...but I've always had a soft spot for the old Rigby.
