Tis' true PaJack. I have one in 7mm-08 that I have been hunting with for about 15 years. I wanted the .243 in the Model 7 stainless / Laminate , but they have quit making the Model 7 in stainless / laminate and they are very hard to find in like new cond. So I got the Ruger shown above, and it has turned out to be a great gun. But I do believe the Model 7 to be da bomb.
