One thing I really like is the warmth in the wood over the cold plastic. I think I'm just generally done with plastic guns.
Thanks to all. This is a Blue/Walnut 7mm Rem Mag and is left handed. I like that it is built to be left handed rather than a right handed rifle with a left hand bolt. I'll shoot it today with some loads left over from my tikka T-3. One thing I really like is the warmth in the wood over the cold plastic. I think I'm just generally done with plastic guns.
I'll probably get a western Oregon plastic and stainless rifle but the 7 mag should be a long range open country rifle.
Awfully hard choice between the mighty .270 and the .308! Me, I would choose the .270 for it's wind bucking, and flat shooting performance over the .308! In fact, the .270 is awfully close to the 7 mm mag out to any reasonable hunting distance, the big 7 just gets there a little bit faster! Personally, the .270 is why I don't have a 7 mm. JMHO
I am currently trying to decide between a Hawkeye in .270 Win. vs a Hawkeye in .308 Win. The .270 comes in a green Hogue rubber stock, and is $50 cheaper than the .308 in a conventional Ruger synthetic stock. Decisions, decisions. Or maybe I should celebrate my recent retirement and just buy both of them?

You know they make a cartridge with the capacity of the .270 and the bullet diameter of the .308 just for those so conflicted.
Awesome post...
