I'll go with the 8x57. People just don't like that "Kraut" cartridge but I love mine. A beautiful M98 sporterized, vintage 1950's I believe, with the original barrel in a nice piece of wood with double set trigger. I shoot the now unavailable 185 grain Remington Core-Lokt (gasp!) and it's one of the most accurate rifles in my safe. Probably due to the trigger.
