I have been hunting with a Steyr Mannlicher Luxus in 7mm RM for 30 years - absolutely love the rifle. Unbelievably accurate and sweet handling, even though it is a bit heavy by today's standard. The rifle is all metal, fit/finish is excellent and the action is very slick. I really like the single set trigger as it makes off-hand shooting a bit easier.

Can we have a civil discussion on this topic..?

To my mind, if you want to hunt dangerous game, let it be dangerous, otherwise you may as well just shoot deer. DG is to be shot at as close range as possible, either with a bolt rifle or a double..
