If you're going 7mm, you might as well go classic with a 7x57

7.65x53 Argentine. You'll be the only one on your block with one.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

7.65 x 53 Mauser or 7.65 x 53 Belgian or 7.65 x 53 Argentine are all good, actually. Grin. I don't know where Missouri is, I've heard there is one...but you might have the only 7.65 in the county.

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I definitely know what I'd make it into... my favorite cartridge; 6.5 x 57...It would be all the better in a nice shaped Mauser Action on something like an Argentine 1909 Mauser.

How about 7x64 Brenneke or 318 Westley Richards?
I picked up a nice 1909 action here several years ago with the idea of using it for a 9.3x64 but a few things caused me to reexamine. (Hope to still do that but with a different set up.)
Leaning toward the 318 WR; it is "cool" personified, imo and no modifications needed.
I'm becoming more tolerant of intolerant people.

No one mentioned the "original" .280, the 7X64 Brenneke?

I like the .280 idea that’s never a bad choice. What do you have already? Any “holes” in yer cabinet? 9.3x62 make a mini express rifle..... barrel band, express sights, ebony tip, Rigby style This to me is what a Argentine 98 screams for. I’d love to do one this way.
