Hmmm... I had a Ruger 77MkII in 7x57 once upon a time, and gave it up for a Sako 75 in 7-08. Now, the 7-08 works, no mistake about that..... and I'd never say anything against it...... but..... I am having a Tikka 695 put together with a 275 Rigby nomination in a LW 1:9 CM twist barrel and a McWoody stock etc. It may be a bit of a 'Tart' of a rifle but the calibre will be spot on.
Just something about the 7x57( 275 Rigby) that works in my head, and works on anything that it gets pointed at.

I should have my Ruger M77 back either tomorrow or Tuesday, stamped .275 Rigby...it will go in an Ultra lite Ruger stock.
I have a lead on a Chilean 7x57 with vg to exc barrel and metal, a few dings in the stock, but I would probably restock. $275 seems like a good price to me.

Like Lazarus, this one has come out of the tomb. Aside from some old pictures of Ingwe, there are a couple of articles that might be of interest. Just put on your specs; the print is a bit small.

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
I understand it takes a long action so why not just a .280 or .270 instead?
.....or more modern 7x64mm which is Euro performance comparable to .270 Winchester or .280. If anyone likes similar caliber to 7x57 Strum & Ruger recently made a run of classic looking rifles chambered for .275 Rigby. The only downside they're a little on heavy side by modern standards.
