There's the stalking rifle. Mine's the same except 2.5-8x36. And I like it! Mule Deer is going to be convinced that the 7x57 looneys are worse than the .260 guys!  It is probably a toss up depending on the moon phase..

Either one would be great for her,I just like the 7mm Mauser. This is my Featherweight 7mm Mauser. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg546/elkhunterinnm/IMG_0385.jpg) Talley LW's and a Leupold 2.5x Ultraliaght. It weighs 7lbs 12ozs. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg546/elkhunterinnm/IMG_0387.jpg) The model 21 at the top is my 7x57, hopefully I will be able to get it restocked for my daughter, with a nice piece of Roger Vardy's English walnut that I have here. ![[Linked Image]](http://i731.photobucket.com/albums/ww315/no_onehere/SAM_1113.jpg)

The 7x57 shoots around an inch and a quarter with 150 grain corelokt's and 50 grains of ar2209 for 2700 fps, the Zg47 270 shoots considerably better...better than I can with such a rifle.

The model 21 at the top is my 7x57, hopefully I will be able to get it restocked for my daughter, with a nice piece of Roger Vardy's English walnut that I have here. I'm curious about something. And I know it's hard to determine on a double trigger rifle, but what's the length of pull? My M70FWT is 13.75 inches. I have a Zastava Mauser and it's 14.5. It seems like the Europeans generally put longer stocks on their rifles than we do.

Length to the rear trigger since it's the one that actually trips the firing pin.

About 1/2" more than is comfortable, and on that one I will put a single trigger and different bottom metal or my lass will never be able to use it.

I really like the 7x57 quite alot as well. I have never owned a 7-08 though, so having something new is always fun for me to load for. I want a 7x57 Featherweight for myself, but I think it would be more fun to work up a good load for my daughter to get into as well. I never thought I would like the 7x57 so much till I started working with my son's rifle. It is very accurate and man, I just can't see a much better handling mountain rifle and when it is loaded up right, it really does alot of work with a fairly small amount of powder. Never owned a 7/08 and probably never will. The 7mm Mauser is just a hair faster and has "panache." In that rifle I'm using IMR-4350 and a 150 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip at 2750 fps.

The 7x57 may have panache, but the .280 has "pizzaz" which everyone knows is a step above panache.  Panache + a bigger engine = Pizzaz, Pizzaz in turn = Kickass! Do the math, it all adds up.

Recently picked up two of the Cabelas Winchester Model 70 Supergrades in 7x57. I'm a sucker for nice wood. Wasn't planning to pick up another of these, but after seeing the second one (last photo), I could not resist. Too nice to leave on the rack.

My other 7x57 duplicates the .280 Rem with a 160 gr NP.  Look in the Nosler #7 reloading manual,page 335 and look at the H-4831SC loading data. That is what the CZ is getting,except with a 2" shorter barrel and using a Fed 210 Match primer.
