Apparently, upon doing research, BSA, quit making centerfire rifles many years ago, but I did get to see an olderBSA rifle and it did look like a quality firearm, I'd say you got a good deal, as for the 7mm mag, it is a fine cartridge, and you can hunt most game in NA, with the exception of big bears and bison, it is a rather flat shooting cartridge and excells at long range shooting.
