What are peoples thoughts on these. I will be reloading what ever I get. I have a 7mm Mauser now and shot great with it and open sights. But want something a little new and faster. I have found a model 70 7mm wsm with a break for a great deal. Should I buy it?
MANILAMAN,
buffybr touched on the rifle fit for your wife, BUT I'll just come right out:
If you want a new rifle get one for yourself. But the best thing you could do for your wife is to get her one that FITS her. Maybe get you one and set up the 7mm for her? - Scope it and fit the stock for her?
