Do these stocks have any sort of cast to them, or are they just a straight stock with a right-hand cheek piece? Mine has a little cast-off, I would guess around 1/2". Can measure it more precisely if you would like....

Damn, I’m a lefty. Had one in 7x57R and sold it to custom bolt several years ago. Loved the gun except couldn’t get barrels.

Damn, I’m a lefty. Had one in 7x57R and sold it to custom bolt several years ago. Loved the gun except couldn’t get barrels. I bought mine out a line-up of around 8 rifles in the show/sales room at Jess Briley Manufacturing in Houston around 20 years ago. The chamberings included the .257 Weatherby Magnum and 7x57R--both of which I've owned, and are great rounds. But I chose the .308 because I primarily wanted it as a take-down travel rifle. In my experience .308 factory ammo is widely available just about anywhere big game is regularly hunted--and is highly effective even with "cup-and-core" bullets, due to the moderate muzzle velocity. But the .308 also had the nicest wood, which ain't as rational--but there it is. As a result I've never felt the need for another barrel.....

Very German...
Edit: And just to add FWIW, if I could only own 1 rifle is would be a 308 Win.

If I had discipline or maturity, then I'd sell my bolt guns and hunt with this one for the rest of my life.
Free bump, though.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.
