I guess you just need to look at history in terms of what become legacy rifles. Holland & Holland, Westly Richards, Purdey etc. I can’t see a stainless Tikka or Bergera becoming one of them.
I have a handful of rifles that I will hand down to the next generation if they are interested. But only a few in my collection fall into that category. Here’s one. Dakota M10 in 257 Roberts.

Apologies, it’s SD not CD. Your M10 is the same rifle, just rebranded. Parkwest is pretty much the same company but don’t have the rights to the Dakota name. That all went south when Remington went tits up. Not sure who owns the naming rights now. Either way, it’s a stunning piece. I envy you.
