The rifle is beautiful and it's chambered for an all-time great cartridge. It seems hardly a month goes by that somebody doesn't come out with yet another wonder round with unimagined ballistics guaranteed to render obsolete all that preceded it. Right now it's the 6.5 mm in all its configurations.

Once you have used the 7mm Mauser, that efficiently kills all out of proportion to its modest recoil, you'll wonder why the gun manufacturers keep on trying to entice us with yet another so-called miracle round.
