I live about an hour north of Pittsburgh and at a small local gun show two weeks ago, I came across a Flaig's 7 X 57 that a guy had for sale. I didn't necessarily go with the idea of buying something, but it was in great condition and I had been looking for a 7 X 57. I have to admit that I was smitten.

I brought it home, changed the scope and have been shooting it off the bench. I would like to find a 120 grain bullet that it will shoot well.

I didn't take anything apart and the only visible markings on the barrel are "Flaig's 7 X 57. It is a VZ33 Mauser action.

Can anyone tell me how I can tell the brand of the barrel?

Thanks. donsm70
