The 7-57 has to be far more available than the .358 W. which really never got off the ground.
In 1966 I had a 30-06 for a decade and a 243 and 222 for varmints.
That year a found the 99F .358 in Charlie Benton's gun shop used for $68.00. It seemed ideal to me for woods hunting.
Recently I wanted a Brno 22H and got one in 7-57. It's bbl. is only about 20" long and it shoots 140's best so far. I tried the 120 Nosler in it and it's not so accurate so far. While it's a neat old rifle it does not seem optimum for much except rifle fun.
