Thanks for the positive comments. It really is a nice rifle, and all original as far as I can tell. I fired it a few times to sight-in at 200 yards, but I never took it hunting. That was coming this fall, but plans change, you know.
I can't say enough about the 7x57 caliber. It makes just a fabulous deer rifle. It hits hard and leaves big holes with the right bullets, but kick about half as much as a 30-06/180. Those of you that already have and shoot this caliber know what I mean.
