How much do you shoot a year?
Are you mainly a hunter or a target shooter?
How much would you shoot this rifle?
Do you reload?
Questions like that and more is what I would mostly ask myself. This is coming from a guy that shoots alot. I also have an overbore 6.5 wildcat and understands barrel life. I keep barrel blanks in my safe and dont hesitate to rebarrel when they go south. I know you mentioned having a 7 mag and personally one big game hunting rifle is enough for me. My safe is filled with match rifles and varmint rifles. Different people have different tastes. If I wanted a new rifle right now for hunting purposes I would probably look into a more efficient cartridge. Again thats just me. Something where getting components isnt as hard. Also again if you pretty much just hunt with a rifle and dont shoot it much the price of factory ammo and the cost and pain of finding reloading supplies is a non issue.
If you do buy it let us know how it shoots.
