My 7x57 affliction was actually started by Ross Seyfreid’s G&A article about an old Rigby Sporter around 1990.
I’ve owned a FN in straight military guise, a Chilean DWM in a Fajen California style stock (that was very well done, shot great, and I should’ve kept), had a chance to buy a push-feed FWT for $300 back around ‘99 and didn’t (still kicking myself over that one).
Then around ‘01 or so Mule Deer had an article with a pic of his #1 7x57 leaned against his pack and I had to have one.
It’s only claimed one groundhog, one pig, and two deer (my smallest bodied and largest bodied, oddly), but I love the rifle.
She currently eats 175 SGK’s and 175 HRN’s over RL-22. I just laid in a lifetime supply of older 175 pointed Interlocks. Gonna try them over the same 49 grains of RL-22 and see what happens…..
