Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Winchester Fwt. S.G. 7x57 range session.

I realize there is some "push back" on the BACO's version, but I have nothing bad to say with the 4 I've had besides this Super Grade. This was the limited run done for the Shot Show back in 2014 (?) and then another limited run was done for Cabelas.
Anyway, after about 75 rounds thru this rifle using 140's, 150's and 160's I re-evaluated by target cards and decided to re-try and possibly choose on a bullet weight.
The 150's seems to edge out all others so todays range session zeroed back on that bullet weight, using NBT's and NP's with H4350.
Posted is a good overview on how the rifle performed at 100 and 200 yards. Honestly all the other bullet designs and weights don't look much different from these I shot today. The first card is a 5x5 inch, there others are 4x4's. Nothing done to the rifle - from box to range after a trigger adjustment.

I also have several of the Cabelas Ltd run of .257's and 7x57's. Add to that a couple JOC's, a .458 and a 375 H&H.....love each every one of them. All SC Baco's and all supergrades. What's not to like.

Pretty wood!

My BIL has one that sits in the safe - too pretty to shoot, I suppose. I just figure that they're going to get nicked and bumped. When it gets the point that I can't stand it anymore, I'll send it off to the "spa" for a little TLC and then start all over again.

Looks like a nice shooting rig to me.

I bet it's pleasant to shoot. My boys 7mm 08 is nice.

Very nice. I like those a bunch.

Nice wood. Shoots well

I have one my dad left me. Never been shot. Sure is pretty

Try 150 grain Nozler BT`s with 760.It is magic.

The plan is to use it for next years January cow elk hunt. I have to get at least one of these SG 7x57's in my logbook with an animal to its credit.
