That BDL looked really good but one major drawback was that long crack by the bolt handle.

[/quote]That Remington BDL looked really good but one bad flaw, a bad crack right by the bolt handle about an inch and a half long.

I doubt you'd ever get a 7x57 to stoop that low.

Yeah, it's a stock job waiting to happen.

That winchester is perfect. Wish I lived in Colorado - it'd be in my safe.

One more note on the 7x57. You cannot own and fire one unless you have some for of mustache. Preferably a large "english" looking one.

How about a grizzled old beard? And by the way, living proof that camo isn't always an absolute necessity.

I sent that picture to an old flame just to show her that the Old Man could still shoot. She said, "Nice pig. Now please don't tell me that's the shirt I bought you thirty years ago." I said, "Well, the pants are new." grin

Amen! That old Winchester I'm holding was made in 1962, and even though the outside looks like it's been stored on the outside of a submarine, the bore is as bright and shiny as the day it came out of New Haven. It's pretty broke in itself.

By the way, I shot that big old boar at a touch over 200 yards with a borrowed .30-06. I took the Winchester to use if I needed to since it's pretty hard to see through a scope at about 10 feet; and if these big fellows aren't really, really dead, they're generally really, really mad when you sting them in the neck with 180gr Core-Lokt PSP. But he did what they always do with a CNS shot: drop and die right there.

Good for you! My CC just breathed a sigh of relief! Let us know what you do to it and how it shoots.

Now to decide on a scope. I need to find more bullets than what I have. Fifty Nosler Partition bullets won't go far. I'll bet it'll knock the knee caps off a fly at 100 yards, whaddya bet? smile

It wouldn't surprise me. How about a 2.5-8x36 Leupold in low mounts?

Either will work, I'd say. I think maybe even a Vintage Lyman All American 4X Perma Center would be appropriate.
