Gun porn.
That.. both of them... is/are absolutely fantastic!
I love the checkering on both the stock and the bolt handle... and the inside-the-guard-release on the bottom metal.

Thanks guys, and thanks to Steve for posting these. I'm fond of them, though in danger of my daughter swiping the 7mm Mauser!

My 7X57 is a Remington Rolling Block made in 1905. I purchased it for $7.99 from Golden State Arms in 1956 - no FFL transfer, it was just sent Railway Express to my home. It was my first centerfire rifle and I still occasionally shoot it. Lots of fun, lots of memories.

Les,
That is an excellent suggestion. I have a pair of those rings on my Win 94 30 WCF and they are indeed the nicest looking Weaver rings I've seen.
I wish that somebody would make a peep sight like the NECG one for Talley bases... or vertical QDs like Warnes but in aluminum to save weight. Either would suit me well enough.

This one is off at Ralf Martini's to get a new Dakota 3-position safety and a single trigger. Missed a pack of 5 wolves ( 5 shots!) last moose season, just couldn't hit them running with the DST's. The front trigger in a DST 22F is also a single trigger. Just pull it back and there is some take up and then the rifle fires with just that front trigger. I would not change mine by putting in a single trigger. It won't look as good either. I do like the Dakota three position safety.
All guns should be locked up when not in use!

Yes, true, kinda... the front trigger on mine breaks unset at just over 9 lbs, after a gritty bumpy ride. I've been told by several people it is not worth trying to smooth out or lighten, and it cannot be made crisp. And shooting a DST at -30 degrees creates a whole 'nother set of problems with gloves on. So I'll take a minor change in looks for a big improvement in function. I do use double set triggers on an Anschutz .22 Hornet varmint rifle, and they are excellent for that application.

This is perhaps my favorite Campfire thread ever. More 7x57s just keep coming out of the woodwork.

See what your smith says about tuning up that front trigger. Here is a 21H that came to me with a single trigger.

I wonder what I could get selling my children to the Arabs? Maybe enough to make it a trio with a .300 H&H???? Ingwe

maybe if I throw in the wife? Sounds like a good trade, especially for a 300 Holland and Holland!
