I've lusted after a Dakota M10 in 7x57 for years. Wonder if I'll ever find one I can afford?

I was watching Ron Spomer shoot his model 10 the other day. It was on youtube and one of the few guys I care to listen to there. They look like nice shooting rifles. Very classy and beautiful too.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

A stunningly gorgeous rifle in a great calibre. Green with envy.

Theres a nice one on GI for a more than fair price the problem (if you can call it that) it's a 375. There's a sever shortage of dangerous game here in Michigan but damn thats a nice rifle

I shouldn't have looked at this thread. Have you ever noticed that certain types of rifles have "enablers" attached?
I thought one in 30-06 and 7-08 would cover all my needs. Love the though of the classic 7x57 or the "Bob" though. However, currently on the path of a simple but customized Mauser with a 20" barrel and a full Stutzen (manlicher) style stock as a hunting rifle.
But man, I think the M10 is one of the best looking rifles ever and some of you are giving me envy. Isn't there something about not causing you brother to stumble and lust? 🙃

That is simply gorgeous, Tom!
