The Mauser 7x57 is my all time favorite.I have a old Ruger 77 full stock
with a 2x7 Austrian scope that has laid many a big buck low and hogs and Fallow deer and just about everything else that walks or runs in Texas.
Good hunting to you my friend.

Good luck Richard and hope you get something with that nice .358 Winchester. I never heard of the .358 until an old friend showed me his Browning BLR (steel frame) with an empty box of Winchester 200 grain Silvertips . He hasn't shot it for years because he can't find ammo for it. So I bought some Lee dies for .358 and used his shell casings. He was thrilled when I brought him over his old box plus some extra cases I bought and reloaded for him.

I've shot the BLR dialing in the scope and what a nice round and gun. It printed some nice groups and the recoil really wasn't as bad I thought it would be compared to my 30-06. I have the new Super grade Model 70 with the pre-'64 style controlled-round feed and new designed trigger action.

This round has a cult following and seems to be gaining some popularity.

I have in the past looked for one but since reading your post I've searched again the auction sites for .358 Winchester model 70 pre '64.

You are a bad influence!
