Nah, I'm just messing with you. Do you remember the scene in Fargo with the wood chipper? That'd be my wife feeding my leg into it.

Maybe the dog house for a week with just one handful of kibble a day and a cup of water. Actually, I'm fighting a battle between that one and this beauty. http://www.gunsamerica.com/94694424...ER_ORIGINAL_99_CONDITION_MADE_IN_195.htm Last edited by Kitch; 06/16/14.

I understand they only made about 1400+ in 7x57 in the pre-64. Last edited by Kitch; 06/16/14. Kids are for people that can't have dogs

I did find someone with a bag of 100 new Winchester cases for the 7x57. I have dies on the way. All I need now is the rifle. I still have a box of old Nosler 7mm 140 gr Partition bullets left over from the 70's. That would be a good start. Kids are for people that can't have dogs

You can have fun with the factory stuff and have all the brass you want. From what I understand, it holds up pretty well.

If you search the gun library for Mauser, you'll come up with other 7x57s, including a Model 700 in 8x57 as well. Gunbroker had a Cooper for a while. Nice rifle.
