Started with one 7x57 my F-I-L gave me, shortened restocked (by him) military rifle. Added a Santa Barbera in a Ramline stock (the price was more than right) Which has since been restocked with a decent piece of walnut in the M70 fwt style. Then an older fella that hung out, and had a lot of work done at our LGS sold me a Mannlicher stocked military rifle that had the barrel shortened and was rechambered. The first rifle now wears a Douglas fwt barrel. All are chambered so the 139 Hornadys are seated at about 2.9-3" OAL. None shoot the bragging size groups we're all used to, but they all shoot deer as far as I care to shoot.
