"I also believe that to own a 7x57 in anything other than a controlled round feed action is close to heresy."

I'm not sure I can quite agree with that statement. Granted, my custom 7x57 is on a proper 98 Mauser action with a proper European stock and that's cool. But would a Ruger #1A single shot stalking type rifle be heresy???? I have one and absolutely love it.
Come to think of it, my Winchester M70 FWT 7x57 just happens to be a push feed and I'll say this; there are no flies on that one. Matter of fact I probably carry that one a lot more that the other two these days. It's accurate, reliable and weighs less than the other two. What's not to like?
