Found a nice red pad #1a at the LGS in 7x57. Always wanted a 1a and it has some figure in the wood. $1100.00 is not a great deal, but would not have to mess with shipping and gunbroker, so I might jump on it.

But,
Just wondering if all the 7x57's had long throats or if is an old wives tale.
Shooting 160's is probably where I would start, but I do like shooting the light Triple Shocks, and would like to shoot some 120 v-max or something for groundhogs and crows for fun.
