sactoller Campfire Outfitter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 9,726 Likes: 1 Weatherford, TX	Originally Posted by Tikka260 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. Best I should have my Ruger M77 back either tomorrow or Tuesday, stamped .275 Rigby...it will go in an Ultra lite Ruger stock. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"

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. RM "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

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.
