Brad: I remember that thread.

"The cobbler's kids are never shod.." or so the saying goes!


I think Jerry Fisher's hunting rifle is a pre 64 M70 standard in 7x57 that was punched out to 7 Rem Mag years back. The problem all these skilled rifle makers have is that every time they build a rifle for themselves,someone wants to buy it,and it being how they make a living, the rifle gets sold.

I recall that Len Brownell built himself a 280...




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
