I would take a real man to carry that rifle below. Any shmuck can show his buddies a wood & walnut M70 doily gun in 7mm Mauser and be a hit at the deer camp. I found one of those 7x57s necked down to .277� ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/24HRC/tom264.jpg)

Yeah, but you'd look damn good doing it!  You have a point. Kinda like roaming the bush veld with a skookum .303 ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/022_22-1.jpg) You could of course get one in the proper American .30-40, and not have to deal with funky bore sizes. ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/30-40no1with8point_zpse1bcb448.jpg)

You gotta be secure in your masculinity �.. Yeah... Not sure I'm THAT secure in anything...  I'd hate to have to quote Benjamin Disraeli, Jewish Prime Minister of Britain in the early 1870's. He was known to like the phrase, "I never complain, I never explain"...Henry Ford II used it when reporters with camera crew confronted him, coming out of a hotel with a good looking young lady on his arm. After quoted Disraeli, he got in his waiting lemo with his babe and they drove away... DF

I like them�.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/013_13-1.jpg) What was the scope/ring combo? Ruger rings? Did you have to do anything to it to make it shoot? I had a .22-250 varmint that was very accurate until I found out they weren't supposed to be.

It liked the old Nosler Solid Base 160s...

I like them�. Was that bear killed with a "real" caliber first? Then you just laid your 7x57 on it? I read elsewhere that you can't kill anything with a 7x57....

Sir, in my prayers tonight I shall be asking that your chooks turn into emu's and kick your toilet down. Ps, for those of you not blessed by being Australian (and thus instantly superior), "feeding the chooks" is locally used to describe having a tug.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
