Well I still do own mine. The guy I bought my Ruger from was a dealer and carried that boxed 7x57 around about 3 years of gun shows. I had looked at it several times over the years, the time I actually ended up buying it he said to me "when you gonna buy this so I don't have to haul it around any more?" I said "when you gonna shoot me a good price? he laughed and said $160 no tax one time deal. I paid in cash on the spot. One of the first bought and destined to be one of the last I'll sell. Mine also likes 120 gr Hornady's. Magnum_Man
