"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

Inggway pronounced the 7x57 gtg in 1893. It still applies even after all these years. Oh and my M70 FWT was wrestled out of my hands by the Mrs. Had two SC built rods. Dad has one and she has the other. They have no shame. ![[Linked Image]](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/karnis/Funnies/20140111_173038-1_zps2812e326.jpg) Was Ingwe there when Paul Mauser was designing the round?  My daughter scammed my .260 from me and now I am "hot-rodless." I'm not letting either her or Mrs. Rev get near the M70. If I lost it, I'd have to buy a 7-08 and load it down to 7x57 just so I could maintain the experience of shooting such an obsolete round.

Dad has one and she has the other. They have no shame. I believe it was 1892ish when he worked on it. PPM mentioned it in his memoirs. IIRC he mentioned Ingwe doing the potato dance in some kind of sack sling when the design was finalized. Leopards and sewing thread had not been intertined at the time.

Leopards haven't been the same since.

By the way, this evening yet another young sow was unable to get out of the way of the obsolete 7x57. We must have a crop of very lethargic pigs this year.

On my computer everything is ok. On my iPhone the image is upside down. What gives?? ![[Linked Image]](http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/mlward_ssa/ca5d6239-68a2-4c46-b344-71f49102d621_zpsa0cd91d7.jpg)

You live in the Southern Hemisphere? Are you talking about the image being upside down? It's ok on my computer, but upside down on my iPhone. Gremlins.

Own both 7x57 and 7mm-08 rifles. My 7x57 is a Ruger 77 Tang Safety I had rebarreled. Like them both, but prefer shooting my 7x57. Never tried the 7mm-08 on our 600 yd range, but the 7x57 does quite well on it.

Curious...replaced the barrel because too many rounds through it or defective barrel?
What barrel maker?
Thanks

Am not doubting the superiority of the 7mm-08.Little gems like this BRNO 22f, available to the common man today, weren't made in 7mm-08, however. An old 7x57... weighs 6# 15oz w/ sling and scope bases (coming off soon). ![[Linked Image]](http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/xx337/sandcritter/Net/IMG_2449_zps348218c1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/xx337/sandcritter/Net/IMG_2450_zps44f9c956.jpg)
