Mention custom 7x57's and I always think of this one. It was built by Jaeger in Jenkinstown, PA, on one of PO Ackley's left hand Mauser actions. P.O. had 150 RH and 50 LH made up a number of years ago, at a factory in Japan - according to DeHaas' book.

Despite the wrong handed bolt, I nearly kept it anyway. I finally sold it for a nice profit to a collector of left hand Mausers, who was utterly delighted to have it.
