Was in an elk camp when Chick Donnelly was still alive... he had a friend who attended who was close to 80 at the time...
He was hunting with a Model 70 that was originally barreled 7 x 57, and it still had that imprinted on the barrel...
but he had it bored out to 280 Remington when that cartridge was launched....
he was ribbed every year of how much value the rifle lost due to that bright idea....
I certainly could dig a Model 54 factory chambered in 7 mm Mauser...in pristine condition...
