Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles How to tell when someone shoots a 7x57

Your mind is sick.


As evidenced by you owning .270s�.

Flattery will get you nowhere,Ingwe.

I actually understood some of this!!

I tried to translate it into a bastid form of english at least...

I appreciate that.

Seeing your No 1 reminds me that I have one sitting under a Leupold VX3 1.5-5 that I haven't even shot yet. I need to get to that. There are pigs just waiting to be shot.

That actually wasn't my #1�it was a 1-S borrowed from 7x57 Steve in .38-55�pretty fuggin sweet rig.

THIS is my #1�7x57 of course..




and it was wearing a straight 2.5

I like it!!! Too bad you gave it das boot.

and mark i can see why

I will admit to having purchased and shot a Brno ZG47 .270 some time in the past, I quickly disposed of it when I found myself evincing an unhealthy interest in ladies high heels...I have since returned to the fold and have long been steadily purchasing good leather work boots.

It was touch and go but I managed to stay on the manly side...on the other hand I did sell it to my brother...and his marriage did founder.

Should I feel guilty?

Yes,your brother would've had a better marriage if he owned more than one .270.

I've been married for 17 years and I own 3-.270's.

Ah...you have the same size shoe as your wife.

Yes, I do.

Actually the Zg47 is a very accurate rifle and my brother Martin wouldn't part with it...I sold it to him cheap so that he would have good gear to shoot with.

I gave him a couple of scopes and sent him on his way with a 1958 Brno model 5 as well.

When the silly woman flew apart the rifles came back up to me in case she tried to get her hands on them...he has them back.

Great,love it when firearms are united with their owners!

Were it anyone else but my brother I would not have parted with the rifle in the first place.



The one on the left is Martin's ZG47 .270.

Nice,just love those older rifles. They have "character."

That is also my feeling on the matter, a shame they cost a lot more than most of the modern stuff.

But you get what you pay for.

Son and I went to a El Paso gunstore to look around and found two rifles.

1) Pre '64 Winchester M 70 .264 Win MAg with a Leupold 3-9x scope. The serial # dated it to 1960 and the scope was probably the same age. Price $1750


2) Springfield M 1903 re-barreled to .270. This one has peep sights and has NOT been drilled and tapped for a scope. It has engraving that is WOW! The original safety has been dis-connected and a tang safety is on it. Price $1100

You are fortunate you can access so much for so cheap, my last Brno model 21 cost over three grand, you would be shocked at what good older firearms go for here, the rubbish is worthless but the good gear is worth a pretty penny.

I would dearly like to wander through Canada and peruse the firearms shops as I would bet London to a brick they have some terrific older firearms lurking about.

ay, ay, ay...a .38-55 is on my bucket list, they are very rare.

Here's another impossibly accurate #1. It makes big holes, too
