Tough to beat a Mauser or Sako action in a rifle for reliability

I recently got a model 60, which I have wanted since they first came out. It was a question of availability and then cost for a long time but when I got serious about getting one....I bought the oldest one I could find.
I wanted a late 60's or early 70's with a pinned barrel and a real low R serial number or maybe even without the letter prefix.
Stainless is just a logical choice for me in this hot and humid climate because I pocket carry.
I've read a lot about whether this gun can fire +P ammo and for what the old model 60 cost me, I could have very easily bought a modern J frame with .357 capacity....so why the old gun?
The best reason I can come up with is that it is the gun that I wanted.
