Elmer, beautiful rifle(s). Your photos somehow got reversed cuz they show the bolts on the wrong side, but otherwise perfect!
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!
Right now, my prettiest would have to be this Win 70 Super Grade which was rebarreled to 6.5 WSM.
You've inspired me. I have a pre-64 Super Grade 70 in mint condition. Wood's beautiful. Not as beautiful as yours, but still damned nice. You've inspired me to stop considering it a safe queen, and to scope and shoot it. This is the only shot of it I have in my hard drive.
I just picked up this Anschutz 1516 22 Mag with pretty nice wood. It's a bit dinged up and could use a refinish but it looks pretty good as it is.

A 1980’s vintage Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in .223 Remington. A close second would be my early ‘80’s vintage Winchester Model 70 .375 H&H. Both are mostly retired.....I have no real use for pretty rifles. I see them as a tool and are used accordingly! memtb

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
